Well that's kind of true....
But...... no built in "Scene learning" support is included when connected this way. So if you are wanting to use ALC 4 button scene switches, they (the 4-buttons) could not learn any scenes. Instead you would have to write lines of programming code for each button.
If you add the 1 branch interface ... then you can max out the system and there is no limit (outside of the capacity of the interfaces).
God Bless

Hey Tony,
So does that mean with the 364806-02 scene learning is built-in without the need to write lines of code? I would assume for automation rules lines of code are still required? Using Units?

Sorry, I missed this question until just now.
Both the 364806-01 and -02 (for the HAI Omni) and 364864-01 (Elk M1) support scene learning (64 lighting scenes max) without any programming rules/lines of code. And yes if you also want to use the buttons to launch other automation events you would have to write code. You can mix scene learning and coded events as well. But a learned scene will always run when the button is pressed. You can write "and if" type statements to limit when other automation events are triggered with the same button.
Example: Pressing button two (of four) will always trigger the learned lighting scene but may only start your coffee in the morning hours Mon-Fri.
