Will I have to leave the switch in one position locally and only control it via the system remote or smartphone app?

No. The switch actually sits in a middle position halfway between "on" / up and "off" / down. If you press the switch up it turns on the load... If you press it down it turns the load off. With the DW version you can also hold it up to dim up the load or hold it down to dim down the load. There is also an led of. The switch that illuminates when the switch is off.

The switch behaves like a normal light switch; there is an on postiion and an off. The computer control portion of it works independently of what the switch has be set to "locally." In other words, it doesn't matter what the switch is set to locally it can be remotely controlled to do anything you like.

These switches are momentary switches that rest in a neutral position. This way there is no leaving it in one position, it is always ready to be turned on or off.

No, it works like any standard switch. When not physically pressing up/down on the switch it drops to a neutral position in the middle. A little LED light will turn on indicating the light switch is in the off position. The on/off and LED will react to the app and/or remote. Press and hold up/down to dim.

No - these switches stay in the middle position at all times. You can always tap up or down to turn on or off.

If you are buying only one switch, the hub is not needed. However, if you plan on having multiple smart devices, the hub keeps it all in one place. Otherwise, you'd have 5 apps running 5 devices rather than one app running all of your devices. Also, some devices, like my door knob do not have an associated app so you need the hub to operate it remotely.

Yes... from the iphone app you can turn the unit on and off from standby. The power switch itself must remain on though. Works the same way from the actual remote.

Yes, the remote switch will toggle the device either on or off and then the timer takes over for whatever is scheduled next.

the quick answer is yes you can.Since the wall switch is also a scene controller you can program it to run a scene that has nothing to do with either of the two load switches.Therefore you can program the wall switch with two independent scenes that are controlled by the push of the switchs and have the ability to remotely control the two independent loads.Another way to put it, this device will show up as a two button scene controller and two switch modules once you properly include them into your network.

You simply press the plastic cover to manually control the device. After a change in state, the program simply resumes. If the switch is on it remains on until the program switches to an off state.

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.

Agree with all previous statements. Yes you can control each feature separately whether via wall switch or via pull cords on unit

You can set each switch to have its own unique code via the dip switches on them. That way they do not interfere with each other.

Yes! You will have the choice to turn your light on/off using your switch, as well as setting it for motion security.

No, you just leave the appliance on, plug it in, and control the device on/off capability with the remote. Take care.

No.To do what you want you to accomplish,you to have install the switch in series with the "main" output phone line from the modem.

no, you need to buy a power supply and switch separately. This is usually controlled by an access control system.

Yes. I had a one way in there but the switch stopped working. Figured an upgrade was in order!

you need Insteon hub in addition to the switch, and home wireless network connection to internet in order to control switches from iPhone app
1936790
Yes. The software is in the kit. all you need is a power source which is your switch.

Yes you can. It automatically switches whichever way. BUT it is pretty uncomfortable and bulky to use in that mode. :)
