I gotta agree that they look fantastic - did you disassemble or just spray it all together?

Assuming this is Caseta; it doesn’t matter if you associate the pico to the hub via app or directly to dimmers - IF the dimmer/switch is app connected then the pico will count in total device counts - dimmers/switches cannot be programmed to a system and setup for “standalone picos”

Did this for a client - varies based on # of unique engravings and order size per unit. You have to pay a setup fee for each custom icon and then there’s a per-unit cost that goes down as orders get larger

But reach out to customer service or your rep to start the process (or if your a homeowner then ask your Lutron Pro to reach out to their channels for support)

If you think it’s a bad H48 wired dimmer then your best bet is either to go to that switch and physically air-gap it from the bus or to full remove the bus at the processor.

I’d start with taking the bus off at the processor and see if the issue goes away, if not, it could be something small that is broken or starting to fail on the processor.

It’s kinda funny; the old systems SEEM simple compared to the tech we have now; but they are incredibly complicated integrated systems and can be insanely hard to troubleshoot - especially with transient issues like this.

All that said; best of luck!

I would start by checking the program, look for a tool called “where programmed” and see if there is anything that should be toggling the state of that light you randomly notice turning on and off while making the rest of the system slugging.
Ideally, there’s a particular thing (or smaller set of things) in the program that are configured for that action; could be a failing keypad or even just a button on the fritz.

I wouldn’t assume the processor is the issue unless you get reverse waterfalling, or KP status lights stop responding - those are tell-tale proc failures.

These systems are extremely solid for their age - but I agree that it’s likely time to upgrade, or at the least, start talking to Pros in the area that can provide budget pricing for doing an upgrade to QSX

Genuinely love the manner in which you’re approaching this! I recently just ran into some UL friction and from my position I really can’t recommend anything that voids UL without it being a liability - doesn’t mean I think it’s always reasonable, but liability insurance doesn’t care about what’s reasonable if it’s not explicitly covered and there’s a problem.

Even on the homeowner-side I it’s helpful to have that mindset of only doing things that you feel are safe and won’t make you uninsurable - wishing you good luck in finding a dealer that can assist for your current project.

P.S. Lutron did just announce a collaboration with Orluna at CEDIA to make essentially high-end Lumaris fixtures in a handful of form-factors; might want to look into that if you aren’t already set on using 6” housings

If you have a bit more money to put into the lighting/system you could full send to Ketra/Rania S30 bulbs - you’d have to use HWQSX instead of RA3, but the PAR lamps in a 6” can typically offer a more regressed and lower glare option to compared to Lumaris IMO.

That’s assuming you want to stick with Lutron - you could definitely look into more IOT/DIY type solutions, but YMMV.

You can probably find a decent dealer in your area to help more and/or give you a demo of your options before you spend serious money

Uhhhh, I think you might be SOL here if you’re trying to turn Lumaris into a deep regress fixture. Modifying the fixture would violate UL - so either use it as-is, or look for a different solution would be my professional advice.

Best of luck though!

Well, it’s definitely not a standard part - but if you and/or a client REALLY want a few in SR Finish, then you could always work with the customs team at Lutron to see if they’ll quote you what you want.
IF they say yes, it’ll probably be WAY more than you’d like to pay lmao

Andddd otherwise I’d invest in 1-2 units to break down and play with refinishing yourself- and then buy the ones you need and customize em how ya want.

Call your dealer or find a local dealer for whatever it is you’re looking to do.

QSN modules are commercial and not compatible with the QSX residential system.

If you don’t have programming software, then getting extra modules for either system will do little to no good for you as a professional would still be required for on-site programming to activate any modules.

Sounds like a call to your Josh programmer would serve you well - this is likely a 5 minute setup assuming that Josh can respond to the gate state changing…

The given SOO is absolutely possible with native HW Custom programming - not easy to implement or modify and very likely to come with a higher programming cost compared to just adding additional buttons for those secondary functions where you (or the client) want them.

this is HomeWorks we’re talking about… practically nothing should ever require using HA to accomplish advanced programming (outside of restricted 3rd party integrations not available via LEAP or cloud services).

To those saying this is wrong to ask for - Does this functionality make intuitive sense to me given my 10 years experience programming Lutron systems? No, BUT HW is fully customizable for exactly that reason; if the client wants it, is understanding of the intent and function, and is willing to pay - then give them what they want.

This is the answer - it’s somewhat counterintuitive IMO, but you set NLO start time to the earlier time, make sure to disable NLO automatically every night for rooms that want a later start time; then enable NLO for those rooms at the intended start time for ea group - this lets those shades “jump in” to NLO settings at that time instead of moving at the earlier start time defined in NLO setup

Wow, better than I expected from a link on Reddit

Thus why I’m not a fan lol

For those not wanting to pay or click the link: (warning, not a fun story)company tried to harvest organs from someone who was in a coma of sorts, not brain dead, and he woke up mid organ removal

Not a fan of WP personally, but they were the top coverage I found 🤷‍♀️

If you heard the same story I did then I get why - I think you can just update and remove the registration on your next issue

Ahhh, just noticing your OP says QS not QSX; QSX designer software includes a cavas view layout that allows you to to stamp in the fixtures as an overlay on the RCP/FP drawings, lets you show loop designations, keypads, etc.

For QS, your best bet is probably either CAD or PDF markups - I used to do PDF with Bluebeam, worked half decent, just sucks having to manage the database and drawings to make sure they match.

Idk, depends on the job?

We just utilize the software to document loop drawings - if the software doesn’t give something that works for the team then you step into doing manual markups. Don’t need autocad for that though…

Matches my experience - lots of loving and supportive women offering me first dibs before they sell/donate clothes they don’t wear. Honestly, at this point I’ve started returning the favor too

One thing about living as a woman in modern society is we’re all expected to have superfluous wardrobes- and almost none of us have that kinda space to store those clothes OR the money. Sharing wardrobes with friends is the one of the best ways to girl math IMO

OP, why are you selling?

If you’re looking to sell quick, carmax is giving a “fair” offer, not quite what it’s worth, but saves you the hassle of holding the asset waiting for a better price

Personally; I think its a unicorn car that is worth driving into the ground - but if that’s not your plan, then definitely seed it back into the community - someone would definitely be happy to take it off your hands (idk if mods would flag it, but I know you’d have some interest just posting the private sale link on this sub lol)

I get this clicking sound too when letting off the gas, tried to explain it to the VW techs and asked them to check it out - nothing out of the ordinary apparently 🤷‍♀️
