BG is not the person I was refering to ( he was Swiss ) , but I did hear BG had a similar installation.
If you have 50 light circuits in your home then unless it's the size of Blenheim Palace whoever was responsible for there being 50 circuits needs locking up.if you have layered or themed lighting for a home say 50 light circuits
How about Plan B:to cover every sort of fancy design Light type across rooms etc and you want to dim certain circuits, you can't start having the number of dimmer switches that would be required to manually turn each circuit on to the exacting light level. The idea is that you press one of the buttons on the rocker switch which then tells the Lutron system to put x number of circuits on at y light level. Not practical any other way.
Or you could develop some sanity.Anyway I'm not saying I like this system as I think the cost is over inflated and I'd rather spend my money on an automated system with wireless relays/dimmers in the sockets to achieve the same effect.
Don't be ridiculous.I guess most of you who have never used one before (neither have I) never changed their TVs when remotes were introduced in the 1980s in case your guests couldn't figure out all those buttons? So you still walk to your TV to change the channels.
Don't be ridiculous.Similarly, still using a type writer or Amstrad 2086 PC because WordPerfect 5.1 can still be used to write a letter. Why bother upgrading to Office 365 which can also be used to write a letter......right?

Don't create that stupid problem in the first place and then you won't need a stupid solution.

I'm so glad you realise that that is what you are doing:What you don't like me rationalizing?
I have spent most of my working life giving new things a chance, evangelising new things, and being paid to convince others to give new things a chance.You're just not willing to give anything new a chance.
You do like being ridiculous, don't you.Hope you locked the penny farthing properly and don't forget to blow out the candles!
There is a company I know that still uses a Commodore Pet to control a couple of test rigs. Works perfectly well and does all that is needed.Similarly, still using a type writer or Amstrad 2086 PC because WordPerfect 5.1 can still be used to write a letter.
It has it place, no doubt about that. But is that place the average domestic residence ( a true home ) or a show house ( a statement of the owner's wealth ) where a resident technician is on hand to sort out the problems.You're simply not prepared to accept that technology of this sort, be it Lutron or other form of home automation has its place
What kind of 'layered lighting' would be required in a bedroom?or take the view that layered lighting is just a lod of *ollocks and a simple Philips incandescent bulb will do.

Or a bathroom, kitchen, hallway, staircase?
Or for any other room?
Which is all hard wired and does not rely on wireless in any way. If I ever do add hand held controls then they will use infra red comms. I would not risk using a licence exempt frequency and it would not be economical to pay for a licence to have "sole" use a frequency.where you're smart enough to build your own setup with a custom made circuit board).
I still have one of those and, at the last count (only a few months ago) was still working fine. Ditto a couple of very early Amstrad PCs (without any hard drives, although one has a plug-in (ISA), I think 20MB, one).There is a company I know that still uses a Commodore Pet to control a couple of test rigs.
