Keypad Dimmer INSTEON Starter Kit — Our Most Advanced lighting Control System Available
Fill your entire home with personalized mood lighting for any occasion. Easily control your entire house's lighting design with the Keypad Dimmer INSTEON Starter Kit. The Keypad Dimmer INSTEON Starter Kit includes one Keypadlinc V2 Dimmer, two Switchlinc V2 Dimmers, and two Signalinc RFs. This starter kit will allow you to control lights individually or multiple lights together as "scenes." Each Switchlinc and the Keypadlinc can control an individual light, but you can also link the Switchlincs to the Keypadlinc to control lights remotely, even from another area of your home. Thanks to the Keypadlinc's status LEDs, you'll be able to see at a glance if connected lights are on or off. You can even link the two Switchlincs together to control a single light from two different locations.

The Keypad Dimmer INSTEON Starter Kit's switches can control incandescent bulbs, low-voltage halogen (e.g. track), and other low-voltage lights with magnetic or dimmable electronic transformers. If you need to control a fluorescent light fixture or a non-dimmable appliance, use a Switchlinc V2 Relay, the perfect addition to your starter kit. A Lamplinc plug-in dimmer or Appliancelinc plug-in on/off switch can be added to control any plug-in lamps or appliances that you want to use in your INSTEON lighting control system. You can add the convenience of a tabletop controller to your nightstand to turn lights on and off your from bedside.

Easy To Install
The Keypad Dimmer INSTEON Starter Kit is so easy to install and set up and yet so affordable, you'll want to change all of your switches to new INSTEON-enabled switches, allowing all of your lights and appliances to benefit from your new INSTEON automated lighting system. Just remove the old switches and reattach the new switch's line, load, ground, and neutral wires using the included wire nuts, and you're almost done. Plug in the Signalincs to join the phases of your existing electrical wiring to ensure INSTEON network reliability. Now you can start linking devices and setting brightness levels and ramp rates that create awesome lighting scenes like "Movie Time," "Party," "Romance," etc., that help you to enjoy the overall desired experience. Switchlinc V2 Dimmer
The Switchlinc dimmer has 32 brightness levels and a ramp rate that can be set from .01 to 9 seconds locally, which helps with getting your lights to the perfect intensity. The dimmer can be a member of more than 400 scenes, which you'll be able to launch with a single button press. A built-in elegant brightness bar of 8 white LEDs indicates the current brightness of the lights being controlled. The dimmer supports 3-, 4-, or 5-way circuits for maximum flexibility. It can match your room's décor with the available color change kits. Check out the Switchlinc V2 Dimmer in more detail.

Keypadlinc V2 Dimmer
The INSTEON Keypadlinc is more than an in-wall controller and a 600-watt local dimmer. You have your choice of using the installed 6-button keypad or changing it to the included 8-button version for a wealth of control options. One of more common uses for the Keypadlinc is as a central monitoring and controlling device. Say you install one by your front door, then you can link up to eight individual lights, or eight groups of lights and see the on/off status displayed right on the keypad. If you forgot to turn off your bedroom light, you could press the corresponding button and turn it off without having to run all the way back to the bedroom. Each Keypadlinc button can perform up to four different functions, such as on, off, brighten, and dim. To help label the Keypadlinc's buttons, several pages of pre-printed labels are included with every unit. Check out the Keypadlinc V2 Dimmer in more detail.

Signalinc RF
The Signalinc RF is the most important part of the INSTEON network. Signalinc RFs create your dual-mesh INSTEON network by simultaneously transmitting and receiving INSTEON messages across both radio frequency and your home's existing electrical wiring. When used as a pair, the Signalinc RFs couple the two different electrical phases of your home's AC lines. This provides maximum reliability to ensure your message will reach its intended INSTEON device. Since each Signalinc RF repeats INSTEON messages, the more you add to your system, the more robust and reliable your network will be. Check out the Signalinc RFs in more detail.

Beautiful, High-Quality Construction
Unlike other switches, the linc line switches offer the natural feel of high-end switches. You'll love the crisp, tactile response with each touch instead of the mushy feeling of other brands. The linc line switches are designed and manufactured to high-end specifications and go through over 10 quality control tests before arriving at your doorstep. White trim paddles or frames are included with each linc line switch, but additional trim frame colors are available and sold separately. Choose the color change kit that best suits your room's décor. Two frames or paddles are included in each color-change set.
Flexible Setup
linc line switches give you tremendous flexibility with controlling your lighting system. Other wall-mounted keypads only provide an on/off function, but each linc line switch button can perform up to four different functions. Press a button once for ON; press again for OFF. Press and hold ON to brighten; press and hold OFF to dim.
