I plan to buy the Insteon Starter Kit, wth the hub and two lamp modules. Q: f I add this item, will it also control X-10 modules in my house?

This remote will not. I do use my system to control both insteon and X10 but this little remote can be used only for insteon. You can add an app to a smart phone that will control both.

Yes, with caveats. See http://www.smarthome.com/2413S/PowerLinc-Modem-INSTEON-Serial-Interface-Dual-Band/p.aspx. The Insteon devices themselves are both X-10 and Insteon capable.

only if you buy the table top remote control. that will control both. otherwise i don't think so.

You buy a module for each device you want to control and one remote controls all module. I think I have 12 modules and have them programmed on two buttons because they are on different schedules. The system works perfectly and I love it!

I was just about to ask the same question. The INSTEON website notes that the Dual-Mode is a new feature for the hub, so I was concerned that this kit (which is less than buying the hub alone) was using the previous version of the hub that wasn't dual-mode.

It will likely work but you should know this is a dimmer. There used to be a version of this module that was on/off i.e. relay but I don't see it anymore. There is also an outside version: INSTEON 2634-222 On/Off Outdoor Module (Dual-Band). that would work inside as well. ITEM #2634-222. If you are inside:

Basically "linking"; being control by another Insteon device (aka switch) or an X10 controller can be down without purchasing an Insteon Hub. However more advanced features are more easily set via PC Software and an Insteon Hub / PLM (ramp rate, initial on dim preset...etc). Basic linking is down via pressing and hold the set button on the front of the plug.

Yes. You will get status feedback from the insteon hub on your insteon app.

No. I use a hydroflash system to detect and control Insteon devices. We had a 20 hr power failure recently. I came right up when power is installed. Doesn't you controller have battery backup?

The hardware will work with any insteon compatible software. It does not matter witch noble devices you have.

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 would download the Insteon free app first. You can create a "sceen" to control multiple devices. Turn items off/on/dim schedule Etc in the app. If you have multiple lights currently controlled by one switch you can order an Insteon wall switch (on Amazon) for much less than replacing many bulbs. The system has endless possibilities and highly recommend Insteon. Lighting, security, cameras, door locks, thermostat. Hope this helps!

Before buying anything Insteon, go to Smarthome.com and look up the product. in the product description will be links to both the quick start guide and the detailed manual. Open up the detailed manual. Smarthome is awesome about providing great technical details in their manuals and have posted manuals for just about every product. if that doesn't work for you, their online chat is up most of the daylight hours and they also have a live support phone number (not sure of the hours). these guys are great, give them a shot.

I am currently using this in a 2600 sq ft house. Hub on second floor in front of the house and sensors on the garage and sliding door at rear of house with no issues. Lamp module is on second floor which I believe helps as a repeater. Hopefully this helps

This unit DOES work with X-10, as do ALL Insteon receivers. You have to program the 2477S to accept an X-10 address of your choice - its set to a default of "A1" from the factory, but you can change it to any address from A-P/1-16 as desired. You do need an X-10 controller capable of sending the House and the Unit codes, such as an HR12A, or any other type of plug-in X-10 controller (The KR19A/KR22A's usually don't work). Once that is done, your existing x-10 controllers will work, treating this unit as it did before. Note though that this does not repeat X-10 signals, it will not work wirelessly via X-10 unless you have a transceiver installed. Hope that clears this up.

Can you please restate the question? Are you talking about Insteon compatible devices?

No, you will need an Insteon controller; without one its just an expensive bright LED bulb.

Hi Jack, I use both the "old" Appliance and Lamp Modules from Radio Shack intermixed with my newer Appliance and Lamp Modules from X10 and I use them all with the X10 Mini Timer. They all work fine. I have one wall of my house where no module works with the Mini Timer, but works with the Wireless controller(s). I have to use the Wireless controller(s) to turn it on and/or off. I can't figure it out except maybe something with the wiring in that one wall. Hope this helps! (I love these things and have used them for years and years). Suzi P.

I too use it with an ISY-series controller from Universal Devices (e.g. Universal Devices ISY994i/IR PRO INSTEON | X10 Automation Controller (1024) ). With these, you also need a PLM ( Insteon 2413S PowerLinc Modem INSTEON Dual-Band Serial Interface, White ) to bridge the Insteon network to the ISY.
