Title: Simplifies Programming Insteon dimmers
Review: This controller connects to your laptop or computer via USB and makes it easy to program all of the Insteon devices in your house (with additional software). Without this device, you can set some of the dimmer options manually, but I found it confusing and sometimes my changes didn't seem to take. To cross-link one dimmer to another, you have to set one up to listen, then run to the other one to talk; a lot of running back and forth.This device, along with the "Homelinc" software (there are other packages available) discovers new devices, allows you to set ramp rates and on-levels for each dimmer, allows you to cross-link one dimmer to another, tests dimmer controls, saves backups of your entire configuration, and can control all lighting from the computer, either immediately or by a schedule. That's a nice feature that can cost thousands in a custom home solution!
