Wall controls are so 2010.

I’ve been wiring for them again. They are faster than an app

1. "dimmable" meaning we can control most dimmable bulbs including CFL, florescent, incandescent, and dimmable LED's. Currently we can't dim MLV loads but we are exploring new ways to do so.

2. Yes, We are multi-way lighting capable. We have a slot for the traveller on the controller and you don't have to replace the switch on the other side of a load with an "accessory switch" like you do with most lines (saving money and time).

3. Yes line, load, neutral and ground wire are required to power a Brilliant controller. Not all homes will have this romex configuration. A neutral and wifi is all we require for home automation.

and yes...Our product has been thoroughly vetted and approved by Julie. As well as several other CI media outlets and Brilliant won the "Best of" CEDIA 2018 Home automation award.

Reminds me of the original Colorado VNet keypads.

Look how that turned out.

Fluorescent? Really? With two-wire dimming on any existing ballast? T12s? T8s?, T5s? Or do you require a ballast change? 3-wire dimming? 0-10 volt dimming? Please explain because the information doesn't seem to be on your web site.

But you won't be able to dim from the existing switch like you can from "most lines".

Something tells me you have little to no experience in the field actually trying to control the bulbs that are currently on the market

Btw, you might want to see our comments on some of the other best of winners before bragging about that. Julie has no experience in the CI industry

We are constantly updating our support articles, so thank you for bringing these omissions to our attention.

For "dimmable", the bulb/fixture must be compatible with trailing edge powerline dimming. We are not compatible with 0-10V dimming, nor can we dim standard ballasts.

In 3-way and 4-way configurations, we need to be the only dimmer on the circuit. So while we are compatible with 3-way and 4-way standard rocker/toggle switches, they cannot be dimmers. If you would like to be able to dim from multiple switch locations, currently that would require multiple Brilliant Controls to be installed. In this configuration, the last Brilliant in the chain, closest to the load, does the actual dimming, and the other Brilliant controls communicate dimming information through Wifi.

Where is the API so these can be integrated into automation systems?
