Lighting Control

[rich1231]

Anyone here know of a Lighting control system that do the following:

RF controlled not infra red.
All contained within the switch boxes.
Each socket/box having its own code so that all lights can be independentaly controlled?

Any reason its got to be RF based or do you just want non line of sight control?

X10 sockets would work, cheap and fairly unobtrusive.

Lutron have just launched an RF lighting control system, expect a very big bill though.

Rako seems to do exactly what you need though and is very reasonably priced.

LOL the chhek, actually some of the light switches are not anywhere near or within line of sight of the sitting/lying/banging places

I use X10... no problems. Light switches aren't the best looking, but you can always go the circuit breaker route.

Keychain remote is useful, and you can get an IR convertor too - which I use with the Philips Pronto.

Mine is connected to the alarm clock, so the lights scare the crap out of you at 6am but gets you out of bed.

It also interfaces with Media Centre, so you can use Harmony (or other software) to create longer term programs.
