Looking for: Black Insteon switch paddles

The Black replacement paddles / "black color change kit" is out of stock everywhere, and even the switches that they used to sell with the black kits pre-installed are no longer available.

This is a fairly big problem for a house remodel that is finally finishing up...

I'm looking to buy either just the paddle kits or entire switches if that's how you want to sell them.

Also looking for any extra of the colored light pipe kits. Those seem to no longer exist either - all that is on the smarthome site for those anymore are the keypadlinc color filters. I don't need the full kits (since they were sold with all 4 colors at once), just the red pipes.

Have you actually called Smarthome? I've recently discovered that they have some parts available that aren't on the website, but if you call you can get them.

Email may be good enough if you got a response - I just heard that not everything was in their web store...

The second the word 'black' came out of my mouth I was interrupted and told all the black and brown products were discontinued and no longer available. :(

There are some posts on other forums with people talking about other things being discontinued, looking at the prices compared to other companies, and wondering if Insteon is getting out of this market :( :(

I know Lutron Caseta has black switches, but obvs it involves getting a hub and using a 3rd party plugin. Just a thought.

Are you still looking for black paddles?

I just found 4, they are yours if you want them.

I think he must've gone a different way - I sent him an email offering up one I found and no reply.
