Please help a remote noob

I need advice on the simplest way to include a track light ouytside my Grafik eye wiring to be controlled by my Pronto 7500.

I now have one of those dimmer modules RF Zenith from Lowes. I just plugged the track into that and use the little hand held remote but I'd love to have it on the lighting page of my remote. Wiring it into the Grafik eye is not an option.

Any advice would be appreciated.

try remotecentral.com. Probably have better luck there.

I do not know Pronto specifics, I am an MX3000 guy personally. But usually the RF is proprietary (main exception being the newer zwave stuff that works with the harmony.) So normally you have to convert the RF into IR somewhere, and the remote can then talk IR to the convertor which talks RF to the switch.

Since the grakif stuff is Lutron, there should be a way with a lutron switch and an IR convertor, but i ave a feeling it will be pricey.
