 +====== Insteon In-wall Dimmer Switches ======
 +On this page, you'll find information and links to pages to help you best use your in-wall Insteon dimmer (available for purchase [[http://www.indigodomo.com/hardware/switchlinc_dimmer|here]] and [[http://www.indigodomo.com/hardware/togglelinc_dimmer|here]]). Note: while dimmer switches and relay switches look very similar, they have a [[switch_vs_relay|fundamental difference]] that you should read about. This page talks about dimmers - there is a [[inst_in_wall_relay|corresponding page]] that talks about Insteon relay switches.
 +
 +Insteon in-wall dimmers come in several flavors: SwitchLincs, ToggleLincs, ICON dimmers, and KeypadLincs (which also have other buttons - there are [[inst_controller|more details]] elsewhere about using those buttons). Each of these devices share some common tasks:
