The Smarthome switch you mention is not a "true rocker" switch. A "true rocker" switch responds like this:

Press the top of the switch and it rocks upward and either turns the light on, or brightens it.

Press the bottom of thd switch and it rocks downward and either turns the light off, or dims it.

The 2206 switch you mentioned does not rock, it cycles on/off with each press. This type of switch action might be completely acceptable to some people, but for some it is not.

BTW, are you sure you don't have a neutral wire in your wall switch box? Even though standard wall switches do not require a neutral wire, many home builders run neutral wires to the switch box and tie them together in the back of the box with a wire nut. The wire color is usually white.

We sell several types of switches designed for fluorescent lights and motors. We have the one that you mentioned, and the one that is a "true rocker".
