A configurable black contemporary keypad serves as a flexible control interface that can use two to seven buttons for functions such as lighting, scenes, music, security, or other connected systems. An auxiliary black contemporary keypad provides three-way control of a load through existing in-wall wiring connected to a compatible dimmer switch or fan-speed controller.

Before installing black contemporary keypads, confirm the keypad type, required voltage, and wiring method, since options include 48V bus-powered wired keypads, 120/277V or 240V configurable keypads, and auxiliary keypads that use existing in-wall three-way wiring to a compatible dimmer or fan-speed controller. For wireless configurable versions, verify the listed voltage range and neutral-wire requirement, and plan for a compatible faceplate where the installation calls for one.

Black contemporary keypads can provide one-touch control for lighting scenes, shades, locks, garage doors, security functions, music, and other connected automation features within a compatible system. Wired, auxiliary, and configurable options support integration with existing compatible lighting controls, while backlit buttons help users identify functions and system status.

Black contemporary keypads include configurable layouts ranging from two to seven buttons, with multiple button sizes, while auxiliary versions use a rocker-style layout for three-way control applications. Backlit engraving helps users identify functions in low-light conditions, and the keypads require matching contemporary faceplates, which are sold separately and are not compatible with Decora-style faceplates.
