I have a new Lutron Grafic Eye Lighting system installed. The Lutron remote can only have 4 scenes.
The supplier has a Philips Pronto (old one) with the Graphic eye codes on it. I tried a Marantz remote and tried leasrning them - no success . IO tried the Pronto Neo and again no succes in learning them. So I though maybe the Pronto (old version - I think the RU 890) is the one I have to obtain. My supplier has none. Can anybody help is it the file types that are dufferent in the Pronto Neo and The Pronto (old).
Has anybody used a different remote for these Lutron Codes ? with success. Please tell me.
I was also wondering if anybody knows of a remote that will learn RF signals like the ones from an X10 unit as well as IR codes.

Thanks a bunch

Hamant,

There is no reason one version of the Pronto (or Marantz) would learn codes that another will not. There are files in the files area for the Graphic Eye which will work on all Pronto versions.

Neo files and Pronto files are a different format. You can learn from one to the other, but the files cannot be shared.

RF can't be directly learned on any of the Pronto models or any other universal remotes of which I am aware. The least complex solution for controlling X-10 is an IR-543 or IR-543AH controller which the Pronto can operate.

Hamant, X10 is a signal that operates on electricity wires. You can use different types of controllers to remotely operate X10 - RF controllers and IR controllers. The IR543 Jim mentions is an IR controller.

Hamant,

Where are you located? If you are outside of North America and you have the Pronto Pro RU970 or Marantz RC9200 that send 433.92MHz RF, you can send RF directly to the X-10 RF transceivers (e.g. TM12). If you have an IR only remote, you can send the codes as IR to the Powermid transmitter which will repeat them as 433.92MHz RF that will be received by the X-10 transceivers.

You do not have to learn the codes. You can get them from CodeGen™.

There are Lutron Grafik Eye codes in the files section for every version of the Pronto, Marantz, Chad, etc.

Have a look at www.ilight.co.uk

these dimmers are designed to work in combination with
pronto (and much more)
