So I have installed a micro Dimmer at the switch for the light my kitchen sink. Everything appears to be working. I can turn the light on both locally and with software. However, is there a way to have it work like a 3-configuration. When the switch is turned on locally, then it cannot be turned from the sofware. Some goes it the light is turned on via softwore, it cannot be turned off locally.

The issue here would be that each switch controls multiple lights. These lights are all exterior. Switch 1 controls two lights out at the end of the driveway. Switch 2 controls two exterior house lights. So this would work but would want to install it in the first light in the circuit. Please see the attached to make sure I am think about this the right way.Micro Mod.pdf

When you say "fixture box" I assume you mean at at the light instead of the switch box?

That is exactly what have. Two switches that controling two different lights in the same box.

All of this is new to me. I have been looking at installing some device for a few months now. However I am not looking for this to be a full-time job either. Right now I am only looking integrate a few light which are primarily exterior. Obviously I am looking at the ISY994i but I have also thought about going with the Insteon Hub. I really have no programming or controls experience and this is why I was considering the Insteon Hub but it has been testing some very mixed reviews. I guess what I am asking is, am I better off with the ISY994i? The other issue is that some of the lights that I want to start with are on double/dual switch's. I believe that I can use these. http://www.smarthome.com/insteon-2443-222-micro-on-off-module.html Do I need 1 or 2 for each double/dual switch? These are just on/off so I would need something else to dim the lights correct?
