A few things.

First, what i really wanted to do was an analog slider and/or dial. Don't think that's gonna happen though i did come up with an idea for a more digital slider that may actually work. I'll be sure to share if it works out.

Second, I'd never throw my business to AMX or Crestron. While I would likely love the flexibility, I feel that URC does a better job with it's unofficial support of the DIY community. AMX and Crestron are both downright hostile.

I would like to add my voice to Darnitol's praise of folks like Bracken, Lee and Andre, who push the envelope with their creative solutions. They're the folks who keep me trying new things and as Darnitol mentioned, deserve a lot of the credit for things some of us take for granted now.

Finally, thanks to Darnitol for taking time to address my general questions. I am glad to know that URC isn't going to stick with the status quo forever and look forward to see what exciting new offerings they'll have in the near future.
