 2456D3 - Good product Jul 26, 2011
By MM
a breeze to set up and timer works great. I still haven't figured out how to use the dimmer. I especially like the sunset to sunrise feature.

 Great, but would recommend the new model. Oct 07, 2011
By Phillip E. Glaeser
I've got one of these devices installed as part of my first batch of Insteon lighting control. The device works great but I still cannot recommend it vs. the newer, dual band model. Smarthome 2457D2 LampLinc INSTEON Plug-In Lamp Dimmer Module Dual-Band, 2-Pin It is more expensive, but can serve to same purpose as an individual phase coupler. It's also quiet a bit thinner and "blends" in a little more if you are installing it somewhere exposed.
A few tips about insteon in general:
First, once you start you won't want to stop. It felt like I was ordering things (mostly from amazon for free PRIME shipping) every other day.
Second, I have most of the first floor under Insteon control and I cannot imagine doing the programing with either the HomeLinc software or something similar. For the 8 button switches I have multiple scenes and would have pulled my hair out trying to program it all manually.
Third, if you get 6 or 8 button switches spend the $20 and get custom buttons made. It will impress your friends and most importantly stop your wife from complaining "the house is smarter than me." Really makes an install look professional.
Lastly, get the HomeLinc or similar software. Did I mention this before? Really, just do it... Imagine you have a program set up with 3 lamps and 2 circuits of overhead lights and your wife mentions "I still think this is a little too bright for the mornings." WIthout software this is a nightmare to fix. With the software you can make the adjustments in 3 minutes. It took my family a month or so to get the system dialed in exactly for our needs. The software made me utilize the system much more than I would of if everything was manual.
Good luck and happy automation.
