Before I answer this in terms of HA, let me answer this in terms of portable hand tools that purchased within the last few years. I'm an advanced DIYer and my old set of power tools were starting to break and the batteries weren't keeping charges so I started researching new portable tools based...

Best Buy's Geek Squad!  Duh! :)

Well my issue with Nest is three-fold as a perspective customer. First, I didn't like that Nest purposely broke some of the workarounds some had come up with to integrate with Nest BUT I understand that it is their prerogative. Second, and the primary reason I don't own a Nest, is that when...

That is wrong...so wrong! :)

Wow. That sounds promising...now if they would only lower the requirements for the next level. :)

I know...really. The only thing Google has purchasd that they didn't kill that I used was Sketchup. Alternatively, they put it together with the home automation stuff they pushed/bought/announced a few years ago that never went anywhere. Is now the time?

Nope. Just making sure those RCAs work. I would expect it to but just validating.

Haha. Touché. You iPhone users with that cute little screen. Seriously, I have an iPad and it is the most used device in my arsenal. But I seriously can't get by the small screen (my opinion) of the iPhone. And to me the killer application isn't NFC like was shown in the video, although...

And I'd like to add he following please. 5. Can you confirm the internal amp can be bypassed to use an external amp Thanks. David

I just bought 6 of the Phillips 12w 5000K Dimmable A19 bulbs from Home Dept for $16 each. Nice bright color and quick on. No buzzing when dimming like some of the Cree bulb reviews I read.

Nice. Thanks for sharing. Based on Apple not having NFC and WinPhones not being able to change settings via NFC, looks like this is Android only.

I know...but does it have something like Tasker? I haven't seen anything since MS went for the more stable but controlled route and has fewer APIs available to call.

Horizontal or vertical should not matter. Why would it?

signal15...I have a Windows phone so that sounds like science fiction. :)  So cool though...so very cool.

Do a search for Lutron Clear Connect White Paper.  RadioRa2 is 418MHz and wifi is around 2,400 or 5,000 MHz.  And the original RadioRa was also on the 418MHz frequency so I'm not sure where your friend is getting his information.   Also, I have not had any issues with wifi in my house.

I don't think you can disable dimming although I do have some of the dimmers setup as switches since I didn't order enough switches and remote switches initially. It works fine but every once in a while I accidentally press the dimming up part of the switch and then have to turn off and back...

For my dimmers I think have exclusively purchased the 6NA and the hybrid keypads and primarily LED loads. Very pleased.

I would say your questions are pretty spot on to the rotation aspect. If you don't think you'd use it then disregard but I know I'd use the rotation feature. Also, think of the weight of the equipment and realize you'd have to pull out the equipment further to reach the back than if you were...

I would suggest a slide out and rotate unit. If building, you might also want to look at an Accuride CBMAC-100. I have had one for years in a box and think I'll finally use it in a month or two.

I also purchased a Bark Smart Deluxe and similar device. While they made a short term impact, long term they didn't stop a German Shepherd and Rottweiller mix from barking. Of course, that was also somewhat aided by the vindictive woman living next door at the time that didn't like me for some...
