Thanks for all the comments guys, I do appreciate them.
I know that I have a lot to learn, but am beginning to switch
Mindsets from “ wouldn’t one of the electricians be better at this”
To “This is going to be fun, you will be good at it, and when each
Job is finished I know the customer will be happy”

Thanks again

" they should never have to touch a button for any outdoor lights "
this one has me a little confused,we always have landscape lighting / accent lighting
and that is always automatic. Are you talking about full automation ? EX. I walk
out the slider door to the patio / lani at 9:36 PM now this, this and ODK lights
go on at 45%

Sorry, but of course this doesn't mean outdoor living spaces. It means landscape, spot and flood, and other general outdoor lighting zones.

If you want to automate the way you said its easy enough to do. I just have a keypad, remote or some other way to work the lights in outdoor living spaces just as I do inside.
