Scenarios

See some of the ways you can use the Micro Dimmer
Break up your canned lights into lighting zones

Your family room has recessed lights. It is great having them all on when entertaining, but there are scenarios (ie, reading, watching TV, etc) where you wish you could only have a few of them on. The Micro Dimmer gives you the flexibility and ability to control those lights independently - all without running new wiring back to the switch

No more "Out with the old, and in with the new"

If you home has existing vintage switches, or you want to buy new artisanal metal switches, the Micro Dimmer can add on dimming and connected home functionality without sacrificing your aesthetic

A mighty mite

Small enough to hide behind light fixtures and fit into a gang box, but powerful enough support up to 50 Watts of dimmable LEDs or 200 Watts of incandescent/halogen

A very useful device.

Easy to use and solves many problems.

Compact size Perfect for my application

The small size of this device was just what I needed. The wall where installed contains a pocket door and the electrician had to install a shallow electrical box. Despite the tight quarters this fit easily into the box!

Perfect for my needs!

I have a powered electrical box in a hallway in front of a dark closet. The other hall lights were already controlled by Insteon switches. The micro dimmer switch module was perfect for installing a light at that location that would be controlled by the existing switches. It works great and was easy to install. I did power the module with a lamp cord to make it easier to program before installation.

Too many can lights.

I installed 19 remodel lighting cans in my kitchen/dining room. Each Micro Dimmer controls 2 or 3 fixtures which are easily programmed for various lighting effects.

Reinventing existing room lighting options

As one who has used Insteon devices for several years in numerous homes, I find the micro dimmer switch an indispensable device. Placing one of these switches in each recessed light fixture in what was a six fixture arrangement controlled by one wall switch and then controlling micro dimmers with phone app or an Insteon multi switch device now allows for numerous scene options for rooms. This is particularly handy in entertainment rooms where lighting requirements can vary depending on location within the room.
