    Disabling Dimming on an Insteon Dimmer Switch?

    I've been upgrading some of my recessed lighting to Philips Hue lights. Unfortunately, these LEDs do not work well with a dimmer, but I had already previously installed Insteon SwitchLinc dimmers throughout the home.

    Is there a way to disable the dimmer functionality of these dimmers so that they act like an Insteon SwitchLinc On/Off switch? Or make it behave like an on/off switch with no ramping (immediate full power or none), and maybe disable to dimming capabilities so someone can't accidentally active the dimmer by holding the switch too long.

    sorry, its not possible. that would be firmware feature which doesn't exist.

    Swap the bulbs...there are plenty of dimmable LEDs on the market.

    I use Feit dimmable LEDs and they work quite well.

      Yes, but those are only white and don't change colors.

      In an ideal world, I would like to have bulbs that are white during the day, but turn red after a specific time (for night use, to reduce the disruption of sleep patterns). Unfortunately, the HUE bulbs don't fit the fixtures that I would need them in.

        Does a fast on command work? Double tap the on button and see if it comes on. If so, you might be able to switch the ramp rate to .1 second.

          the double-tap will work but doesn't prevent a user from using the ramp feature.
