New construction:
I'm having electricians wire as they normally do. This will include many 3-way maybe some 4-way switches.
My plan is to live in the house and figure out where automated switches make sense and add them later.
Now I'm exploring switches/dimmers. Many choices, however it seems many folks like UPB technology.
So...starting to shop/plan/budget for this stuff and I have no idea how or what to buy.
What kind of HA switches/dimmers? I've seen "slave" switches with little explanation how and where to use these.
For example, for a 3-way circuit, what do I need to look at? Master/slave? Does the slave replace one of the 3-way standard switches.
Most places where I'd do HA switches/dimmers will likely be 3-way. And I assume all this can be controlled by an Omni panel.
