There are affordable smart products on the market today that can increase safety and comfort, save energy, and allow you to control home lights via the Internet. Now you can automate your home via your computer, iPhone and other handheld wireless devices.

You are missing out on home convenience, safety and fun if you haven't installed an automation controller and the necessary accessories for a SMART HOUSE.

You can take one of two approaches depending on your personal phone preferences and available home equipment.

1. Do you prefer to communicate via the Internet or Wi-Fi from an iPhone, iPod touch or any other Web-enabled PC, Phone or PDA - AND YOU HAVE AN INTERNET ROUTER AND MODEM in your home? If this is you and you want to get started in home automation by controlling your lights from a distance, I recommend you get the following package:
   
   
   • one SmartLinc--INSTEON Central Controller®,
   • a pair of plug-in light dimmers-- ICON Dimmer - INSTEON Plug-In Dimmer Module,
     
   • and an appliance/relay module-- ICON Relay - INSTEON Appliance Module, 3-Pin.
   Read on. This lens will tell you more about how these products work.
   
   
2. Or do you prefer to communicate via your touch-tone landline or a wireless cellphone?


• Go to SMART HOUSE to see how to adjust your thermostat AND control a powerline interface to control lights via telephone.

You will need a central controller that you connect to your router and modem:

ICON Dimmer - INSTEON Plug-In Dimmer Module




ICON by SmartLabs Design is SmartHome's value-oriented line of lighting and appliance control products utilizing INSTEON technology, You may want to add to your starting set-up the upgraded LampLinc - INSTEON Plug-In Lamp Dimmer Module (Dual-Band), 2-Pin. The LamLinc is fully dual band. It transmits and receives INSTEON commands via both RF and powerline, and also serves as an access point, relaying RF and powerline signals to your other INSTEON devices.

Note the 2-plug receptacle in the picture. This simple-to-use plug-in dimmer has advanced features like a preset dim level that stores your preferred choice of 32 brightness levels when turning the lamp on initially, as well as local control, so you can still use the lamp's built-in switch to turn the light on and off. The ICON Lamp Dimmer is made to be plugged into a 2-pin outlet. (If the ground is necessary and your outlets have three pins, try the LampLinc - INSTEON Plug-In Lamp Dimmer Module, 3-Pin)
