IQ Power Switch-PG (3-Way)

The IQ Power Switch-PG (3-Way) is a PowerG-enabled smart switch designed to provide advanced lighting control and automation for compatible IQ security systems. It supports both standard single-pole installations and 3-way configurations, allowing users to control the same light from multiple locations while integrating lighting into a connected smart security environment. PowerG automation integrates long-range devices into a smart home setup. The IQ Power Switch-PG (3-Way) is compatible with the IQ Panel 4, IQ Panel 5, IQ Pro, Qolsys IQ4 NS (no screen), and the IQ4 Hub PowerG versions.

In a 3-way setup, only one IQSWH3W-PG smart switch is required. The second switch in the circuit can be a standard, non-smart 3-way switch. This simplifies installation and reduces cost while still allowing full smart control of the lighting load. The IQSWH3W-PG manages the smart functionality, while the secondary switch acts as a traditional control point.

The device communicates using PowerG wireless technology, providing long-range, encrypted communication with compatible panels such as the IQ Panel 4 and IQ Panel 5. This allows users to control lighting remotely through the system interface, mobile app, or automation rules. Lights can be programmed to turn on or off based on schedules, system arming states, or other triggers within the security system.

Because the IQSWH3W-PG is a true on/off switch and not a dimmer, it is well suited for lighting loads that are not compatible with dimming, such as certain LED fixtures, fluorescent lighting, or other non-dimmable circuits. This makes it a practical option for a wide range of installations where simple and reliable switching is required. If you require a dimmer, Alarm Grid also offers an IQDMR3W-PG, a 3-way dimmer switch.

Installation requires a neutral wire and standard electrical wiring practices. The compact design fits within standard electrical boxes and is intended for indoor residential use. When properly installed, the IQSWH3W-PG provides dependable lighting control with the added benefit of system-wide automation and remote access.

The IQSWH3W-PG is a strong choice for users looking to combine lighting control with security system integration, offering both convenience and enhanced automation without requiring multiple smart switches in a 3-way configuration.
