For anyone out there looking for additional alternates to Colorado V Net, I would suggest taking a look at Square D Clipsal Lighting and Automation by Schneider Electric ($20+ billion global sales). Although the product is relatively new to the US, there’s 50K+ system installations over the last 10 years internationally. They cover lighting, touchpanels, occupancy sensors, multi room audio, HVAC, web interface, etc. Compact 4 and 8 zone dimming modules are DIN rail mounted and 100+ components daisy chain together on a Cat.5 cable up to 3300ft. There’s also a wireless RF dimmer offering for traditional wiring applications. Web sites are:
