Will the combination of this touch panel + the micro switch act also as a dimmer? Push = on, Push = off, Push and hold = dimming?

Yes that is exactly how it works. Push and hold will cycle through the dimming. The micro switch needs to be configured to operate with a momentary pushbutton, this is documented in the instructions with the micro.

Yes, however the dimmer must be made for Led's one of the old cheapy may not work. Also they will not fully dim before they go off so the brightness will only dim about halfway before they go out. The more of these you have on one circuit the more they will dim. Some dimmers switches will do better than others about how well they will dim also. But when you buy a dimmer it must say for LED lights on the box. The dimmers usaully will cost around 20 bucks. Hope that helps...

In an earlier reply I stated that this switch does not dim LED bulbs. As it turns out I just didn't hold the button down long enough. It's not the best dimmer around, but it is reasonably acceptable.

This device is only an on/off switch, it does not dim. Scenes allow you to group devices togther and be either on or off depending on the state of the scene.

My unit came with 2 - three position switchs, I tried to run it through a wall dimmer from x-10, but it would flash, not dim.

The switch does provide a dimmer function. One of its unique features is its ability to preset a dimmer level and then turn the switch on and off remotely to go to that dimmed level of light. Nice feature and can save lots of bulb, electrical expense when using as a security light.

From the Amazon product details: "Manual on/off or motion activated to suit your needs - also includes a dimmer"

It turns on and off with the touch pad.It also dims as you move your finger up or down the touch pad.

I have assumed that pushed in is the "on" mode but have not proven that with any testing. My assumption was based on the way the other switches work on the device where the "in" position makes that circuit active.

Yes, it should; I'm using a multi- LED light on it. I don't think you need dimable LEDs, this is on/off click, not a gradual lighting up. My first lasted about 8-9 years... This is my 2nd

I've got it controlling 2 fixtures, each with 2 LED bulbs (small ones, like oversized night light bulbs) and it works perfectly. No dimmer function for any kind of bulb... just on and off.

I'm using the switch to control two sets of florescent lights with no trouble. It simply switches them on and off, there is no dimming function with the switch.

my light switch was not a dimmer no. but neither was another fixture I purchased, and we switched out light switch and converted it to one no problem. just didn't try with this.

No. The switch a always stays at a neutral setting. When you press the top lights go on and the switch returns to its neutral setting. When you press the bottom the lights go out and bc again the switch returns to neutral. When you actuate it remotely it does not physically move.

It did not work on a dimmer swItch. The installer trIed but it did not work. Not sure what kind of dimmer he used. The light is gorgeous!

No. This switch is the best. One of the models has a dimmer feature. Try holding the button to turn the lights up and down.

No. This is a slave controller that needs a master in the circuit. You can have any number of slaves, each able to tell the master on/off and dimmer/brighter. We have these in many circuits now, some with three slaves plus the master. They work flawlessly when installed correctly.
