David:

Some switches and lamp modules have quite a bit of built in intelligence. These are the type you should use if you are not going to use a home automation controller. The PCS lighting products are great because they have many programmable features. See my post to this forum titles "Lighting Scenes for your Home Theater", dated 7/31/99. In that post I expained some of the more sophisticated things you can do without a home automation controller.

We are an authorized dealer for PCS switches. We can help you select the right type for your application, and assist you in programming the switches.
