The Mini Remote is also available in a 4-scene and 8-scene keypad (Select from Style Pull-down above).  Required Accessories USB Charging Cable is required to charge Mini Remote Switch. With the cable you can charge by plugging the cable into a computer USB port or into a USB power adapter.  If the INSTEON device you intend to control does not receive RF signals (i.e., power line only), you will need at least one dual-band INSTEON device to convert the RF signals to power line signals. More Info How it Works Like a traditional switch, tapping the top paddle turns your lights (or scenes) on and tapping the bottom paddle turns your lights (or scenes) off; press and hold the top paddle to brighten every light in the scene or press and hold the bottom paddle to dim every light in the scene. The LED status indicator blinks green for ON commands and red for OFF commands. The LED indicator will also let you know if a device did not acknowledge the command.  Additional programming options allow Mini Remote Switch to function as a 2-scene controller, making the top paddle control one scene and the bottom paddle control another. This can be set to alternate between ON and OFF for each press (toggle) or only send ON (non-toggle). Software Configurable Using compatible software such as HouseLinc, you can quickly setup scenes and configure button behavior, all from your computer.
