What's the latest on automating ceiling fan controls?
Has anyone made a gizmo to interface automation with existing RF canopy modules?
I ask because we're about to take possession of the new house and I'm wrapping up all my light fixture and switch selections.
In the past we used some mid-market Hampton Bay remotes that had a thermostat in them. Worked pretty well for silently start/stopping the fans based on temp. But we didn't have wall control of the light. I was never able to find out if they made a separate wall-mountable remote that'd work with the same canopy. As in, just a battery-driven remote mounted in a wall switch position.
Before I start putting new ones in, I figure it's worth asking what's the state of things these days?
I notice Lutron is finally shipping their RadioRA2 fan control. Shame it doesn't also do light control in the same fixture. I'm just one switch position short for where I'd use one...
That and the wife actually prefers the thermostat remote.
Choices, choices, and way too many variables, with not enough time to factor them all...
Are any of the RF canopy receivers compatible with each other?
