Alright, I'm Ready for automation but..

So, where can I get those two? That's REALLY awesome!!

I'd love to know who a make the black one and if they are UPB. As I was typing this one I realized some information was in the image url.. Lutron Vierti is the black one.. The other one is from "clightingcontrol"

The Vierti Lutron switch is really nice.. but still a regular switche from what I see. I wonder if i can 3 way their dimmer switches with a HAI UPB one? I think for the on/off feature it would be alright but I wonder about the dimming part. I'll need to investigate this one as the switches are really nice.

This is the Vierti dimmer:

This is the Vierti keypad:

Mmmm... 3 different color LEDs available

21 Different wallplate colors/finishes

Vierti demo

I believe the Lutron Vierti is part of the Lutron HomeWorks systems only, but I'm not certain. Maybe Herdfan will chime in - he DIY'd his HomeWorks system, and is an expert.

Since I'm doing the electrical work (My dad being an electrician will be inspecting) I do hard wire 3 way ...

As you're doing your lighting circuits, make sure you have a neutral in every box. No switch loops.

I have a full power line in every box.

I gotta wonder who makes these labels and how useful to anyone are these functions? Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Evening? O.K. Assuming you have a different light scene for each, couldn't some basic automation involving a clock figure this out, or do some people eat "breakfast" at 10pm at night sometime?

Then there is Home, Away, Green, Entertain, Goodnight. Even the most basic systems are tied into an alarm, so shouldn't your lighting know "Away" when you set your alarm to "Away?" I guess they are more for show on the glossy marketing sheet then actually for functionality.

I guess I'll also need to investigate on The Lutron Stuff for shades and their new Vierti switch.. Hopefully I can use both fairly easely with te HAI OmniProII otherwise I Might have to look for a different controller..

From what I found so fat the Vierti keypad and switches I would need will only be release later this year s I'll be patient and will install regular switches in the mean time.

You might want to check prices on the Lutron stuff.

Found some prices online for Vierti. $140-220, wholesale for the dimmers. MSRP $197-320. Keypads are probably twice that.

You still want Vierti?

Lutron shade installs are pretty well 'protected'. You might want to look into how to get them, before deciding on them. They're also ridiculously expensive.

I love their look and they will perfectly fit in my decor.. I'll just have to spread the purchase over few pay checks instead of buying them all at once..

Do you have any alternative..?? Once again I can wire for them right away and buy them gradually. I have a suplier here for these.. Not cheap but They will do the job.

PS: I've chose to build my house by myself over 3 years and living in it trough the process in order to get myself some of that luxury.
