their 8 channel dimmer pack (5 Amps per channel) is about the same size as
an
alarm panel (enclosure) doesn’t have to be mounted at > node zero
(because
the control is on an RS-485 bus) and retails for 800 quid. It isn’t cheap

Lutron.
Can you give us an
idea
of the features of these dimmer packs Tim? Soft start, straight to
level
X, number of scenes, number of levels per circuit etc.

panels are
totally configurable, up to 10 buttons on a single back box – up to 26 on a
double!
Nice. Any
pics?

whether I’m going to interface to an alarm, or just install additional
occupancy/door detectors – I’ll find out more when I meet with the
chaps.

Agreed. But
(for
example) my lighting based on movement has been removed from my Study as it
was
a pain in the but. However, that doesn't mean I don't still love it
in the
hallways, Kitchen, utility etc.
What are the PC
control
options for this system. I assume you'll have to use a PC as a stand
alone
HA controller is not an option?
