Which X10 switch/dimmer is recommended with this outlet?
576445
This device provides a remote On-Off function. A minimum 40-watt load is specified. It will work with less, but may be intermittent. I do not believe that an X-10 dimmer function, such as is included in many of their remote control devices, will have any effect on this particular device.

Should work with any X-10 switch. I would not use a dimmer because equipment damage could occur if something that requires a full 120V was plugged into the switched half of the outlet. Also, beware that X-10 devices are getting harder and harder to get because the products/technology is basically obsolete.

I used the X10 SR227 switch for an outside light and it is off/on only. I don't believe that it has dimmer capabilities. You might want to call the company direct to get clarification. All the dimmers that I currently use are inside the house and they are modules.

I do not use X10 so my suggestion would be to check with the support guys at Smarthome.com. They respond quickly and are always helpful.

I used a lyton electronic LED dimmer. Works perfectI would imagine the old triac dimmers would not work well . . .

We have a two way switch, one for fan and one for light which is on a dimmer. You don't need anything special.

Hi Tom, That's actually my current setup. I used to have 1 dimmer and 2-regular non-dimmer switches and I replaced one of the non-dimmer switches with Honeywell timer switch. As long as each switches are independent to each other, it should not be an issue. Btw, I'm not a professional electrician so this response is just based on my current home setup. - Joel

This Maestro dimmer should work with LED bulbs as well. I do not know any specific about GU10.

I used Leviton 6674-P0W SureSlide Universal 150-Watt LED and CFL/600-Watt Incandescent Dimmer $18. also available at home depot. No issues and no buzzing. Easy to install.

I did some research and saw that the X10 works with units previously sold by Radio Shack and Sears. I had an old controller from the '70s and the new X10 works with my previous light/appliance modules. I suggest you check yourself for your specific model but believe it will be compatible from my experience.

Hmm, I found this while running a search for dimmer switches! I'm curious if anyone knows if there is a similar switch made that also has a dimmer option included? I wasn't looking for something like this initially but love the idea!!

In the description is says: DimmableAll of our power supplies are compatible with dimmers, either 12 volts DC or 110 volts AC varieties.So, which is it??

It works. Install it as I mentioned below. The x10 is the first switch...set it to turn on before dark. The motion/pc is the second inline switch...once it gets power from the x10...it will kick in. Photocell will prevent it from working until it is dark.

I bought a Lutron DVLV-600P-WH 600-Watt Diva Magnetic Low-Voltage Single-Pole Dimmer from Amazon for mine because I have it installed in a Juno 4" low voltage recessed housing, and it works fine.

Yes I would install two Dimmers at the "ends" and leave the center 4way switch - a 4way sw has 4 terminals and will be easy to spot out of the three locations - this way the dimmed power is only passing thru the 4way not affecting the dimmed power - anyway I haven't seen 4way dimmers so it is likely your only option ..from an electrician .. also 16watt x 9 = 144watts you are just under the 150watt limit of these switches - and higher bulb and it will get too hot and burn itself out (I never tried overloading this particular switch but have burned out other dimmers at overcapacity)

I used: Ledwholesellers inline pwm 12v 2amp dimmer for led strips with DC jack. it works fine for what I need but the connections were a tiny bit looser than I would have liked but otherwise a good product for the price

If this is X10 switch, it may still work. The reason for this, I have an old outlet x10, but when my new mini controller X10 came, it enable to control the outlet, provided you set the zone and house code correctly. I hope helps!

honestly, I had a big rookie mistake... I'd rather get LED strips/driver than this very expensive one... there's a bunch of LED strips online that work with dimmer switch.. Best thing is it's only going to cost you around $30 that has about 600LEDS.....
