I'm working on narrowing down lighting choices and had a few UPB questions. My plan is to have dimmers in all the rooms and then where I want a controller, add a gang and put the controller in there rather than having a switch control a load and scenes. I'm thinking two will make it easier to understand.
I understand the new Simply Automated US240 switch bodies have the new shorter programmable delay.
1. Do the US11-40 have the same shorter delay?
2. Do the HAI switches 35A00-1 have the same shorter delay?
3. If not what is the shortest delay on the HAI switches?
4. Are there any features on just the standard dimmers that the HAI have over the SA switches or vice versa?
5. Are there any UPB dimmers that have a light bar on the side that shows the light level? Something more than just a led that it is off or on?
6. Do any of the Simply Automated controller faceplates have individual lights that light up for each scene? Or is there just the one status led for the controlled load?
7. I understand the HAI scene controllers do light when presses. Any issues with mixing the HAI scene controllers and SA dimmers?
8. I see SA has a basic starter kit with two switches and one controller. The switches are the US11-30 variety. Can the basic starter kit be ordered with the US11-40 switches? I think the 40 swtiches have the green blue leds.
9. On the scene controllers, if I activate a scene by pressing a button, and then press the same button, does it deactivate the scene? If I activate another scene, and then press the first scene what happens? Or does this vary by scene controller?
I was orginally looking at RadioRA and I still may go that route as the switches aren't much more spendy, it's the controllers, and interfaces, that make RadioRA more pricey than UPB.
