I'm about to buy a couple of dimmer switches to control 1 light (eventually will use 4 switches for 1 light). Is there such a thing as an Insteon push-on, push-off dimmer switch with LED so you always have a single target to hit for on or off?

An 8-button KeypadLinc can do that. So can any 6-button secondary button.Message from Forum Admin: stusviews passed away in April 2018.

So the cheapest way to do this would be to buy four 6-button controllers for $320, and to have 20 unused buttons (or think up something to do with them)?
Shouldn't I be able to do this with an ISY? Say, any push of a standard dimmer, either on or off, would toggle the lamp?
I was thinking ... with an ISY, why would anyone want to hard link a controller to a responder?Last edited by Wingsy; 01-20-2015, 02:02 PM.Comment

The ISY does not communicate with non-home automation devices such as a standard dimmer.Message from Forum Admin: stusviews passed away in April 2018.

Excuse me. I meant a standard "Insteon" dimmer.Comment

An ISY can accomplish what you want if and only if the SwitchLinc dimmer is not wired to the load.Message from Forum Admin: stusviews passed away in April 2018.
