Light almond in-wall keypads connect to lighting control systems through wired bus communication, such as RS-485 or a centralized 48V bus, while some configurable models can use line voltage or a compatible low-voltage power supply. Auxiliary keypads typically reuse existing in-wall three-way wiring to communicate with a compatible dimmer or fan-speed controller, which can simplify retrofit installations.

Before installing light almond in-wall keypads, confirm whether the model uses a 48V bus power supply, a 36VDC keypad power supply, or line voltage such as 110V, 120V, 240V, or 277V. Check the wiring requirements as well, since some configurable keypads require a neutral wire, while auxiliary keypads use existing three-way wiring and connect to a compatible dimmer or fan-speed controller.

Wired light almond in-wall keypads provide configurable, backlit buttons for controlling lighting scenes and other connected system functions through a wired control bus. Auxiliary keypads use existing three-way wiring with a compatible dimmer or fan-speed controller, while dimmer configurations combine customizable keypad controls with direct light-level adjustment for supported loads and voltage requirements.

Light almond in-wall keypads require a separately ordered, matching faceplate; Contemporary units require a Contemporary faceplate and do not fit Decora-style faceplates, while Decora-format units call for the appropriate Decora-style faceplate. Before installation, verify that the wall box accommodates the keypad and wiring, including any required neutral, bus wiring, or existing three-way wiring for the selected configuration.
