I know this topic has probably been beaten to death by now but I can't seem to find what I am looking for.
We are three weeks out from moving into our new home. I have installed an OmniPro ii. I've got the security side configured using PC Access.
I am now trying to figure out the lighting. Right now we have standard switches. There are many places where there are a bank of 4 or 5 switches. Some of these are three way, single load, etc...
I have the UPB power line interface module and a phase coupler installed.
I am just not sure how to get rid of the bank of switches with something more elegant, OmniTouch 7 or 6 button keypad.
Here is one scenario. I have a bank of 5 switches in the living room. I ran two spare CAT5 cables right beside that location planning on a touchscreen at some point. From what I think I have read is that I would somehow have to relocate those switches with some type of smart switch (Simply Automated, UPB, etc...) to another less obvious place. Then I could install the touch screen to control those switches.
Any nudge in the right direction is greatly appreciated.
