Anyone know of any economical (less than $500) RF controls for lighting.
I have 3 zones (2 recessed cans each) that need control. I would like to have preset lighting scenes but that isn't necessary. I just need to be able to turn on and off and gradually dim them.
I can't use IR because my HT room doesn't have any wall plates in the room, they're in the hallways that lead into the room.
The only thing I can think of using are the RF controls for ceiling fans. Each unit can power up to 400watts. They run $40 each. Plus you can change the frequency for each station with dip switches so they don't all respond at the same time.
Are there any remotes out there that can "learn" RF signals to control this?
Otherwise I can use one of the remotes that comes with the unit but I would have to take the battery cover off each time I want to change the lighting to be able to switch between zones with the dip settings. Doable, but a pain in the arse.
