Intermatic HA06C Home Settings Wireless Indoor Wall Switch December 21, 2008
Purchased 2 of these to control my living room high hat lights with my harmony 890pro. Installation was simple and adding them to the harmony was easy, was able to control all levels, dim and add to a scene for home theater movie viewing. I have not had any of the problems others have mentioned, these worked flawlessly. I would purchase again and would recommend to others.
Not as versatile as lamp dimmer but more convenient December 13, 2008
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.
Good basic z-wave dimmer November 1, 2008
Pros:
1) no neutral needed
2) low cost
3) as expected, works with other brands of controllers
Cons:
1) can't be part of scene
2) only 300 watt capacity
3) local rocker switch always controls local light (no way to decouple for external scene controller)
I also have some HA18C switches, which DO leak current, and make my CF lamps flicker.
I'd recomment this model for basic uses, but some other brand for situations where scene control are appropriate.
Also consider the HA18C January 4, 2008

The HA06 is great and was a snap to set up with my Harmony 890, but it was controlling a fluorescent light. In the off position most Z-Wave devices leak a bit of voltage (this is not unique to the HA06 nor does it affect normal lights) which causes fluorescent lights to flicker. The Intermatic Home Settings Three-Way In-Wall Switch #HA18C (search for B000WS4SIU) may be a better choice if you have compact fluorescents or other low wattage lighting installed.

I had an X-10 automation system put in my kitchen remodeling project and it died about three years later. X-10 is subject to a great deal of interference and is a technology no longer worth investing in since there's Z-Wave. My Z-Wave system has worked flawlessly and with modules like these it's easy to add automation all around the house.
