Cool

Since you've done a lot of lighting, what have you discovered as far as keypad button layouts?

What do people seem to appreciate, and what is lost on them in terms of scene buttons etc.

I think there have been some threads on this recently, but might have been over on one of the other forums.

I just keep it simple, most rooms/areas have a "Lights On" button at the top and a "Lights Off" button on the bottom.  The "Lights On" isn't everything to 100%, but sets lights in that area to the most used scene.

Other buttons might be dedicated to individual loads, pathways or scenes.  I also do lots of HomeWorks integration so I end up with buttons for fans, infrared heaters, electric skylights, electric windows, electric sliding doors, fireplace/firepit, water features, pool control, Sonos control, etc.  I've even integrated Lutron controls to automate the rotation of a sculpture.
