Set the mood with scenes

One of the most powerful features of Insteon switches, scenes let you control multiple devices simultaneously with a single tap. With one tap, turn on all of the lights in an entire room with pre-set brightness levels and and ramp speed rates

Endless multi-way options

Traditional multi-way switches use traveler wires to allow two or more switches to control a single light fixture. Insteon devices let you create virtually create multi-switch environments between any number of switches, keypads, mini-remotes and more

More than just a controller

Insteon switches can respond to schedules, sensors, mini-remotes, keypads, and other switches. Have your front porch lights on from sunset to midnight, have a motion sensor turn on the garage light when you arrive home, or use a mini-remote to turn off a bedside lamp without having to get up from bed.

Full Description

Part of a Larger, Smarter Family

The i3 Dial works with a whole host of other Insteon devices - from sensors to remotes, from keypads to other switches, from plugs to switched outlets, Insteon has your Connected Home needs covered.

It’s Simple to Install, Set Up, and Use

Replace any standard wall switch with an i3 Dial in minutes with just one screwdriver. Link two or more Insteon devices with the click of a button. Even create elegant whole-house lighting scenes with programmable brightness on-levels and fade on/off speeds - no hub, app, or Wi-Fi needed.

Need the lighting just right? The i3 Dial lets you precisely set the brightness level at the twist of a dial.

Two Products in One

The i3 products (Paddle, Keypad, and Dial) bring something very unique to the table – they are only Insteon devices that you can set as either an on/off switch or dimmer. This gives you the ultimate flexibility to use these devices on either dimmable or non-dimmable lighting as well as on/off items like fountains or whole-house fans.

Level-Up Your Connected Home Control

When paired with the Insteon Hub*, you get the flexibility and control to easily add new devices, link devices together in scenes, and set schedules. For even more convenience, use a smart assistant like Amazon Alexa or Google Home to control your Insteon devices with your voice.

It’s OK to Dip Your Toe In

Unlike other traditional “smart” devices that are focused on controlling one device or maybe one room, Insteon is a whole-home solution. If you start small with one room with a few Insteon devices and then decide to “go big” by outfitting your entire home with the Insteon ecosystem, no problem - our solutions can easily scale right alongside you as your Connected Home needs grow.

It Just Works

Other connected home switches use Wi-Fi or other radio-only signals. Insteon utilizes a patented dual-band mesh technology that communicates over both existing power lines and a wireless radio for unparalleled reliability and range.

* Insteon mobile app and Amazon Alexa or Google Home voice control requires a Hub 2 and Connected Home Access.

Technical Specifications

On/Off mode Supports switching up to 9A, 1/3 HP

I3 Dial works OK but Hub app allows control but only half of the 8 devices installed work with th...

I3 Dial devices were installed in our kitchen/dining room remodel. 2/3 new wiring and 1/3 old. Manual setup of 3 way operation with two of the I3 Dials worked fine. The rest are 1 way. Getting them to link with the old Hub app was problematic some worked fine but morth than half took 2, 3 or 4 tries. None worked using the supplied address entered directly. The Hub 2 in our home has been operational since 2012 and there is a bus tie between the to 120VAC legs right at the breaker panel in the garage. There were 23 existing devices on our system before adding the new 8. All were working and still appear to be. I also was not able to make changes to the start delay and the start up dimmer setting when I tried adding 2 different new I3 Dimmers to a scene. I disabled the old Hub app on my iphone and tried the new Director app and things are worse with that app. With the Director App half of the new I3 Dial Dimmers show but say they can’t be controlled and don’t respond. Once in a while the none responders will turn on but then you can’t change it to off or dim it. All off the old Insteon devices seem to be working with the new Director App. Killed the Director app on my iphone and went back to the Hub app which allowed me to control the new I3 dimmers but I still could not make changes to the devices in a scene. Note that all the devices work when the knob is turned and pushed at the wall switch. On I3 knob dimmer does have severe flicker if the knob is rotated fast and you have to go to max and slowly rotate the knob to get it to work. There are 10 Feit Candalbra LED bulbs on that fixtujre that previously worked fine with and old analog dimmer.

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with our I3 Dial product. We apologize for any inconvenience you have encountered while using our Insteon for Hub (IFH) app and Director app. Please note that the old IFH app has been discontinued for many years and does not have proper support for newer products such as the i3 Dial. The issue you saw for those devices in the Director app is likely due to a failure to onboard them properly in IFH. Please delete them using IFH and then perform a factory reset on each of the i3 Dials - this factory reset may improve communication as there are some i3 devices that inadvertently shipped with their RF disabled. Once finished, try onboarding using Director.

As for the flickering bulbs, unfortunately not all LED bulbs are created equally. Our dimmers work best with LED bulbs that advertise compatibility with forward phase triac dimmers.

Much better ergonomics as a dimmer

The i3 dial is a great improvement over the dimmer paddle. Trying to click and hold the paddle to get the brightness to my preferred level was always awkward. This rotary dimmer makes it so easy. Now, if I could replace a device and have all the scenes that use the old device auto update I would be buying many more of these. My house is full of Insteon devices and some very complicated scenes that have been painful to edit or replace devices.

Occasional Insteon Flicker

Bought many Insteon dimmers for new home. Installed only one as a test without connecting it to an eISY (eISY not yet installed) and running it at maximum brightness. Other non-Insteon dimmers do not flicker. Apprehensive about installing others and then having to uninstall them due to a flicker issue.

We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced with flickering. Please note that we do have a dedicated product called LED Flicker/Glow Eliminator that addresses these types of flickering issues (https://shop.insteon.com/products/led-flicker-glow-eliminator).

If you need any assistance with your installation or have any further concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at support@insteon.com.

It is a great product. Very responsive. I am running on the old isy994, so I need to upgrade to the new eisy for programming options.

We are so glad to hear that you are enjoying our i3 Dial product. Thank you for your positive feedback and for sharing your experience with us.
