Lighting help required

Post by starwarsmike » Tue Sep 24, 2013 9:07 pm

Hi

Can someone help me with what equipment lighting I should get that can be controlled via Demopad

I need to control 2 lights only, I know there's Lutron/Rako etc, but there's so many options & is confusing.

What exactly do I need?

Any help would be appreciated

Michael

Lots of options, ranging from simple IR control of a lightswitch, right up to a full processor-based system. If you are looking at a retro-fit (ie not altering your lighting cabling significantly) then this will affect your choice of system.

You mention Lutron & Rako - to control Rako you need the Rako Bridge which links all the wireless dimmers to your IP network, to control Lutron Homeworks (QS or 'classic') you only need the Homeworks processor, to control Lutron GrafikEye you either need the Lutron NWK interface (and cabling to each GrafikEye dimmer/switch), or you can control those units via IR commands.

I have the same doubt!

I want to use to control equipment DEMOPAD LUTRON wirelless.

What equipment should I buy to control:
ROOM = 6 zones light
KITCHEN = 2 areas of light

I saw in the tutorial 6 demopad the Instructions to communicate them and I would follow that line
