Tools and Hardware Reviews of Intermatic HA06C Indoor Wall Switch
Customer Review: Not as versatile as lamp dimmer but more convenient
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this switch to replace a floor lamp on a lamp dimmer that I had been using with my Logitech Harmony 890 so that anyone walking into the room could turn on the floor lamp without having to use the remote. Sounds simple, right? Wrong!
First, installation was easy: black wire to hot/feed/line; blue wire to load. This is great because it works in the two different methods for wiring a light or receptacle that is switched from one place. Due to the lack of a neutral connection, this dimmer leaks much more voltage than the plug-in lamp dimmers. This, to me, is a major downside and I wouldn't mind the option to connect a neutral to reduce this line leakage across the load.
Second, it is rated at a minimum of 40 watts and maximum of 300 watts. Great! I have a halogen lamp rated at 300 watts! Wrong again! First, lamp would not turn on. Checked function with a simple incandescent lamp, works great for dimming! So fine, i'll rip out the dimmer module in the floor lamp and it'll work. So that being said and done, the dimmer works but flickers the halogen lamp at a rate that can be noticed. Well, now i need to buy a different floor lamp - the most basic one i can find (30 dollars) without a dimmer. Finally, success but at the cost of a new lamp. Mind you, my halogen worked perfectly fine with the dimmer module installed on the wall-receptacle lamp dimmer module HA03C.
Finally, to squash some incorrect reviews, it CAN be included in scenes - works perfectly fine with other devices on my Harmony Remote. Second, of course it only controls the local light!!!! it's wired in the wall!!!!
I gave this four stars and not less only because it does do exactly as advertised: replaces a standard switch with the typical functions while still allowing the control from Z-wave controllers. Additionally the instructions aren't really clear so if you don't have previous experience with Z-wave devices, i wouldn't recommend this as a first.
It doesn't get 5 stars because it doesn't perform as well as the plug-in lamp dimmer modules for flexibility among lamps. Basically, make sure you have a very simple on-off incandescent lamp or ceiling fixture to be certain that it will work correctly.
