I put in an EDT iLine system for lighting control ~4 years ago into a new home, daisy chained CAT5 to each switch (4 branches from a central hub). EDT went bankrupt a few months later
A near lightening strike last week appears to have taken out the controller. It still powers the network (fortunately, otherwise nothing works) but it no longer responds to any serial commands.
I am planning on replacing the switches with UPB, which is straight forward ... but I have a number of iLine multi-switches. These are boxes that have 6 buttons on them and act as scene switches. But they only have (daisy-chained) CAT5 running to them -- no power. Anyone know of a technology that can replace these without pulling new wire? I don't need 6 buttons, for most of them 1 would actually be sufficient.
Thanks!
