Thanks av! Are there any specific models you would recommend that are budget friendly? Any way to get the system to interface with a vera 3 controller?

I am buying a house that is prewired for a whole house a/v system. All the speaker wires, coax, and some cat5 are run from speaker or tv locations back to an a/v closet under the stairs. There are 38 speakers downstairs/outside. There are another 16 or so upstairs. The speakers would be in 9-10...

These are the battery powered keypads I am planning on putting up in the switch locations. http://www.smarthome.com/59373/GE-45631-Z-Wave-Wireless-Keypad-Controller/p.aspx I will probably add some ventilation fans to the enclosure with the dimmer switches. Hopefully I will be around 32 dimmer...

Lutron quotes from pros was 15k+. Think I'm going to try to implement a z wave system through vera3. Going to use battery powered ge key pad controllers to add switch locations. will just tuck away the gard wiring for now. any thoughts?? Any suggestions on dimmer switches?

Picta, I looked at your suggestions. It looks like they require Romex at the switch location which I don't have. Maybe I am wrong about that??

Oh, if you want to shoot me an email at [email protected] I will send you pics of whatever you need to see. Thanks

They are single gang boxes with A green Lutron wire and a cat5. The control panel area is bare studs right now but everything else in the house is drywalled. This stud area is where the temp switches(24 I think) are located. There are also some Romex switch legs that are not terminated yet for...

Great stuff guys! Yes, the biggest goal initially is the lighting system. I have a pro giving me a quote today on lutron but I suspect it will be expensive. Could you all give me some specific choices for switches/touch panels, relays, etc. that I could diy to get the lighting running please...

Also, regarding the A/v system. The house is prewired for about 8 or 9 tvs and about 50 ceiling speakers.

I am located in Vero beach, fl. Thank you all for your help. All this great info gives me hope that the lights can become functional, one way or another, for a reasonable price. One more question... It sounds like none of the recommended systems will integrate with the security or a/v system...

Thanks for the reply Picta. There are 24 temporary switches in the control room and there are about 16 more labeled Romex wires that were not switched but control various fans and lights. Many of the locations that are stubbed out for switches in the different rooms have 2 cat5s and 1 green...

I am buying a house that was prewired for a HA system. There are cat5 and rg6 cables everywhere! Looks like the builder ran out of money and never got the HA system components installed even though all of the pre wiring is complete. All of the wiring runs back to panels in the control room. All...
