Now that my theater is pretty much done (famous last words, eh?), I've decided I'm going to upgrade my current 4-gang box (Leviton dimmers) with a Grafik Eye GRX-2404.
However, I want to be sure I'm getting everything I need and am selecting the right unit.
Here's the run-down:
I have 4 zones
Zone 1 - 125 watts total. This zone controls the lights at the bottom and top of the stairs and is currently a 3-way switch with a normal switch at the top of the stairs and a 3-way dimmer at the bottom. I've been told I need a NTGRX-1S for the switch at the top to work with the Grafik Eye.
Zone 2 - 240 watts total
Zone 3 - 195 watts total
Zone 4 - 520 watts total
All told, this comes to 1080 watts which is within the 2000 watt limit for the 2404.
Does this unit come with a remote or do I have to purchase the remote (GRX-8IT) seperately?
All I'm looking to do is have the ability to dim the different zones to different levels via my Sony Remote Commander (I'm thinking I need the Lutron remote to "train" my current remote... is this correct?). I understand that this unit has factory presets with regards to the time it takes to bring the lights up and down but you can set them to different levels by some increment.
I have no need for the 2404 to talk to anything else so I don't think I need the 3000+ series.
Are these correct assumptions? Am I leaving anything out or not taking anything into consideration?
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
Cheers!
