Reddit reviews Insteon 2322-382 FanLinc Button Kit for KeypadLinc, White

I solved this exact problem recently. Sadly my solution wasn't cheap, but it works really nicely (better than I expected tbh).

My needs:

• Ceiling light with dimmer
  
• Fan, adjustable
  
• Switch on wall to control dimmer, fan speeds and lights on/off
  
• Alexa integration
  
• Zero delay between using the wall switch and the fan reacting
  
  
  
  I couldn't find anything that used zeewave / zigbee, so I set up a parallel Insteon system. It was expensive, but it's way better than I had hoped. It's all immediate, the buttons have a nicer feel, aesthetics are nice etc. Hardware required was:
  
  
• https://www.insteon.com/ceiling-fan-controller (~$80)
  
• https://www.smarthome.com/insteon-2245-222-hub.html (~$80)
  
• https://www.smarthome.com/2334-232-alt (~$80)
  
• Nicer keypad buttons - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007S0CAMQ ($10)
  
  Discounts can be found on all of those, perhaps ebay etc, ymmv.

  If you go this route then here's some tips that I wish someone told me:
  
  
• The insteon keypad scene buttons default to being in toggle mode - you need to change this to always on (or always off, doesn't actually matter)
  
• The hot wire in the wall is connected to the keypad *and* the wire up to the fan controller (i.e. not in serial). The load of the keypad is just capped off. This means that the fan controller and the switch are always on. If you end up here please DM me to clarify if that doesn't make sense.

  I'd love to hear your solution once you figure it out - hopefully you can beat me on price.

came here to say the same thing. I have two of these installed in my house. I did however wire it a little bit different than the way it was stated in the manual. I wired the light directly to the 6 button dimmer and then linked the 4 middle buttons to off/low/med/high with the fanlinc

another option i considered but didnt actually pursue is the Aeotec micro dimmer that could be paired with a their wall swipe switch whenever it comes out.
