No.  I meant a simple manual dimmer. I mean that the majority of folks do not
do _any_ major work on electrical system. Period. Household 'lectricity is
dangerous. Electricians work on electrical systems.

And electricians currently balk at installing HA because current HA lighting
will not stay 'unbroken'. Until professional electricians are eager to
install HA, it will not thrive IMO.
