dotScott Posted April 23, 2022 Posted April 23, 2022 I have updated my undercabinet lighting that was controlled by an Insteon 2477D to Lighting Division "No Dot" LED. The LEDs required a 15V non-dimmable transformer. I have a Qubino Flush Dimmer to control the 0-10V required to dim the LEDs. My question is, since the 2477S on/off switch is nearly impossible to find, can the 2477D act as an on/off switch at a zero percent ramp? I don't want to damage anything downstream. I looked in the 2477D manual to see if there was a way to configure as switch rather than a dimmer but couldn't find anything. Any insight would be appreciated.
Techman Posted April 23, 2022 Posted April 23, 2022 No, currently your best bet would be to use a Zwave on/off switch
Brian H Posted April 23, 2022 Posted April 23, 2022 Even at fast On and Off with a full On setting, on a dimmer is not a god way to go. There is still a possibility it may not play well with an inductive load. Unless it has an OK for a dimmer ratting. There is also a short time at Zero Crossing where the output is distorted. When turning on between the cycles. Switching from positive and negative.
Techman Posted April 23, 2022 Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) The on/off module uses a relay to switch the load, the dimmer module uses a triac designed to work with resistive loads. Edited April 23, 2022 by Techman 1
hart2hart Posted April 23, 2022 Posted April 23, 2022 I’ve likely got a single band switch that was replaced with dual band switch I could sell you (if you’re mesh will support it.)I’ll look if you’re interested. 1

dotScott Posted April 24, 2022 Author Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) Luckily Smarthome is still up and order history is available. Apparently I purchased (4) 2477S back in 2015 that I had forgotten about. Accounted for 3 so there is still one in a drawer somewhere. Thanks for the help! Edited April 24, 2022 by dotScott 1

There is a BUNCH of the "S" switches popping up on EBay....
