Can this switch be dimmed from the actual switch, or does it require the app? I'm just not seeing a slider on it or up/down buttons or anything.

There is no slider. Yes the lamps can be dimmed directly from the switch. Press and hold the top of the switch to increase the brightness. Press and hold the bottom to dim. You can also adjust the rate/speed for fade on and fade off. You can also preset what brightness you want the lights to come on. When you set the brightness, press the set button below the switch to save.The manual that came with the switch was not that great. Download the full manual from Insteon.

If the light is off and you press and keep holding the upper part of the switch, it will slowly brighten until you let go of the switch. Same goes for if the light is already on and you press and keep holding the bottom part of the switch, it will slowly dim until you let go of the switch.

No, it only switches on and off; no dimmer. Pretty handy if you have a power cord without a switch.

I believe you are referring to: Lutron Diva Magnetic Low-Voltage Dimmer. Having wired home and built my own stereo from components I will say "YES". This leaves you the controller for changing colors. (just remember if it "does not come on" with the installed switch.....then someone...has turned the lights"off" from the remote.) AND: the remote may not respond while you are dimmed on the wall switch as you are also reducing the receiver on the led cable. It most likely WILL NOT respond when dimmed. I have a photo of what I did and will try to upload it after this is posted (No place for a photo here with this respond) I used poster putty to mount my controller on the wall against a door sill.

No, this is a fan switch only. I'd look for a slider switch. This one has to be played with to get the setting. Good luck!

No, there's no dimmer control (usually a slider or rotating knob.) It's an on/off mechanism. I've used it successfully on 2 switches, one that controls exterior lights and one interior. It has a sunset/sunrise feature that's perfect for us, we're not always around the house and it's nice to have the lights go on automatically without having to think about it.

In an earlier reply I stated that this switch does not dim LED bulbs. As it turns out I just didn't hold the button down long enough. It's not the best dimmer around, but it is reasonably acceptable.

It can be dimmed essentially down to nothing with just a faint glow before being switched off... dimming wheel works great and is easily accessible

my light switch was not a dimmer no. but neither was another fixture I purchased, and we switched out light switch and converted it to one no problem. just didn't try with this.

I have this bulb one of my dimmer switches. Yes, the on off switch (on the wall) will work but the dimmer slide/turn knob won't. The app has a function for dimming and turning the unit on and off.

A remote dimmer switch is available. We got that with it and it works great. No, its not Halogen

I was told no when I asked my electrician. It either has to be hard wired or hooked up to the remote via the base can upon installation. But This switch is great because it does not burn out your non dimming light bulbs. sounds like you have to pick

The only way to dim would be to use a low voltage inline dimmer, you can try a lutron dimmer switch but I don't believe it work because it is not a damnable driver

I never used the switch. Mine works okay. You must have received a defective unit. Return or exchange it ASAP

The entire switch/slider doesn't light up (see Ty P.'s answer ) -- it is a moderate-intensity orange light below the switch itself. It's certainly sufficient to facilitate locating the switch in a dark hallway or room. The light on the switch turns off when the switch is turned on (makes sense...).

I think you could dim it from the switch also.... I know you could from the dimmer, however I did away with these type switches.....they started coming on by themselves. I went with the heavy duty models and never had any more trouble.

Yes, it's a normal switch except that it has a light inside the rocker switch. It isn't a dimmer, though. It's just an on-off switch that you can find in the dark.

Tap the switch up/down to turn on/off. Hold the switch up/down to brighten/dim.
