I have a LUTRON IR lighting control switch in my living room that I control through my Harmony 880 via IR. This works great!! I just replaced the unit in the wall, 10 minutes later I was done. You can buy them at Home Depot, but I ordered mine through a local lighting store, because I wanted a different color. JP
Our AV100 and AVL300 remotes have the IR codeset for the LUTRON ir dimmers and switches as well. Our IlluminEssence lighting line communicates with the AVL300 via RF, so you don't need to be within line of site to talk to a switch. The real advantage here is that without pulling ANY new wires, you can talk to 200+ lights in your home. A good example is how I use this feature in my house. I created a scene called "goodnight" which turns off about 10 lights, dims my daughters table lamp to 10% (shes only 4 months old) and turns on this little "fish tank" toy my wife bought her that is attached to her crib. I can then turn it off from our bedroom after she falls asleep. Now if we could only make any IlluminEessence product that will wake up at 2 and 4 am every night to feed her......... ;)
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
