Just let me get this straight....

This is a dimmer switch for a light that is controlled by remote control?

Is it possible to operate it using my Harmony 855?

yeah you can control it with any normal remote with a button on the remote that you dont use, but i cant get it to work with the harmony, if you do what the manual says it just overrides the original function of the remote, making it useless to the harmony, it is really anoying really need help with this?

have you tried setting them up, even with varilight listed in the database, they are still a nightmare to setup, they are a complete nightmare, which i just cant get them set up right, everything else works fine apart from them.
thanks for trying to help though!

I do have this on my harmony 655, setup from harmony website. works fine and have more range than the remotes advertised along with these dimmers.

ideally you need varilight remote if there is a power cut they loose the learnt IR but no problem if you use the OEM codes from the remote
