All you need is the Insteon Hub (Controller that communicates with the wireless devices) and to download the free INSTEON app and you are good to go.

Insteon devices only work once you have the hub. The hub is what is controlled by the iPhone app. Everything that the hub controls can be controlled through the app. Works very well.

You need the hub to be able to control remotely. The hub connects to your router, and uses the routers Wi-Fi or internet conection for remote control.

you need Insteon hub in addition to the switch, and home wireless network connection to internet in order to control switches from iPhone app

If you have a hub (or a computer connected with the insteon software) the hub/computer can email or text you as you set up. Using the hub and the insteon app on my iphone I can switch modes (home, away, night only, led on or off, etc) from within my app. But by itself, it doesn't do much at all...

I got the app from the itunes store. I think it is alled ES Remote or something like that and it's free. I have a dedicated I-Pad Mini Retina that I use to control my entire system and it is like having a Control 4 controler pad that would cost over $1000 and does most of what I need.

This dimmer switch doesn't have a third wire that is used to operate remote switches. For that you need a 3-way switch. They do sell such beasts here if you are so inclined. I use the singl pole dimmable switches in regular rooms, and the three way switches in the hallways and stairs.

The master & slave dimmer will only control one series of lights. If the two light sets were wired together and one light switch controlled both at the same time, then the dimmers & remote you bought will control them all at once. However, the two light sets won't be controlled separately with the remote you got. Either all at once, or you'll need seperate dimmers with remote for your second set of lights. I hope that helps you. Good luck!

No. You can buy a remote that will control several of these. Or you can buy a controller that will allow you to control the outlet or mutilple outlets or switches with your smart phone or to set up lights to come on and turn off at certain times. There are also light switches that will replace an existing switch that you could also use to control this outlet. If you are just wanting one remote device, depending on what your planning to plug in, there are several different types of controller out there. Lowes sells a lamp switch with a remote. For years I've used X10 switches and I'm in the process of switching to insteon.

Touch dimmer is just like any other dimmers. As long as your dimmer switch is specifically CFL/LED dim compatible, then you should be fine.

Yes, the remote control will switch the light on and off, and also has a button to dim. You hold the button down and the light will gradually dim and brighten; just release the button when you like the amount of light emitting. It's a really nice feature

No - no remote control. I do not believe these dimmers are designed to work with a handheld remote control. This is just a master and slave pair of dimmers. Warning: if you listen to AM radio they buzz a lot through the radio.

Each of the four buttons on this device are designed to control a SCENE (i.e. multiple devices). A lamp module can be part of a scene.For instance - my "Good Morning" scene turns on lights in the upstairs hallway & stairs, the entryway, my study, the kitchen and a floor lamp in the family room. The floor lamp is controlled by a lamp module.You cannot dim individual lights within a scene using this device but I suppose you could create a scene consisting of just one light if you wanted to. Then you should be able to use the dim/bright feature.BTW - I use a Vera Lite device for whole house control. It seems to work well, is fairly easy to set up and has an iPhone app so you can control your lights from your iPhone.

Any light has the ability to be dimmable; what you need is a dimmer switch. It has nothing to do with the fixture itself.

There is no way to control it at the unit. You need to control it either from a web browser on a computer or using the smartphone app for the iPhone or Android.

You just need the zee-wave remote and a zee-wave enabled dimmer- switch. I think most people will only need one remote and a few switches. If you go really overboard you have hundreds of devices and then you might want some central controller or relay.

No, I don't believe so. This is strictly a control to turn light on and off. I am sure there is a probably a remote control dimmer out there somewhere but I have 2 of these and see no way.

Hi caseyo, thanks for the question. Yes, you can use a remote with this fan. We recommend Control Model No: 99019. It must be purchased separately, and usually runs around $65 or so. As for your second question, lights can be added to this fan. We hope this helps, if you need anything further please reach out to one of our awesome experts. Not only do they know everything, but they're literally sitting right next to their phones right now :) Hansen Wholesale 1-800-201-1193

The remote comes with a dimmer, with three levels of brightness. However the LED is powered by an LED driver that controls the voltage. I'm not sure using a dimmer in front of this device is a good idea.

no, just the switch. The remote can be purchased separately, but I recommend reading a bit more about the remotes, they need an rf receiver, like a dual band device to work... If you already have an insteon hub, then you can use your smartphone as a remote... the smartphone communicates with the hub, and the hub with the switch...
