Well, as far as a wall switch, anything that will close a pair of contacts, up to and including a standard 110 wall switch (if it is not wired to a 110 circut), will do if you have a 2 conductor low voltage wire going from the switch location to the MSC.
Please, please don't take that to mean that you can hook a low voltage 2 conductor to a live wall switch!
Any contact closure that you can achieve can be sensed by the MSC and a macro triggered off of that.
Controlling the shades is easily done via the relays on the MSC.
The RadioRA is controllable if you have: a) Either of the RadioRa IR or 232 interface modules or b) An in-wall master keypad with an IR window and an emitter at the master keypad location - in which case you could trigger scenes from that master control via IR
So the short answer is yes it is completely possible if you have the wiring in place.
Scientific method refers to the body of techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge.
