I'm currently framing a room for my home theatre equipment and I'm looking at being able to control the lighting via a universal remote control (still looking at various models at the moment). I need advice as to which light switches to purchase.
I've read briefly about X10 and Lutron but need advice from the professionals here. I'm going to have 3 separate lighting circuits (2 sets of recessed lighting and a sconce lighting circuit - thus 3 separate lighting switches that I would like to control (on/off/dim) via a remote. The 3 switches will be located side by side.
I don't have a large budget - I saw a Lutron Grafik Eye system today but at $1000 Cdn - too pricey. I was also quoted a Lutron Spacer SPS-600 at $140.00 per switch although Home Depot has a SPS-600-HTH-Wh-C at $68.95. Then there is the X10 Pro XPD3 at $32/switch - much more affordable but X10 has problems from previous threads that I've read.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards...Jim
