ICON vs Insteon V2 Wall Dimmer

May 05, 2006 2 Replies

Last night I "discovered" something about the ICON wall dimmers. The ICON dimmer has a fixed ramp rate of .1s basically making it a hard on/off operation to a preset level. However, when I applied the instructions for setting the ramp rate on the V2 dimmer, the ICON responded the same way! IOW, dim to a low level, press the Set button twice quickly, the light flashes and the new ramp rate is set locally. Then, put a controller into learn mode and hold the ICON's upper paddle for 10 seconds and the ramp rate works remotely too.


Cool! I was wondering if I could get away with ICON dimmers as 3- and

4-way controllers.

Many thanks for that one!!

Yes, the ICONs can crosslink and control the V2s.
