Illumination to QS converter utility

Hi Everybody-
Just tried this thing out, very cool.

Lutron: important note. The utility is replacing HWI RF 6D with HWQS RF 6D - not HWQS RF 6CL. I'm glad I noticed this because the BOM is way off on this project until I fix it.

I don't know the file I converted that well, so I'm going to make a point of converting a file I do know well just to see if there is anything else to be aware of.

I think this is a great tool for getting most of the design work done in minutes instead of hours. Thanks Lutron!

Okay I breezed through the conversion and note:
2 dimmers weren't brought over from the HWI database. One was an HRD switch with no load attached so that makes a little sense. The missing Dimmer I cannot explain.
The tabletop keypad in the MBR was 6 button in the HWI database and the converter didn't make any provisions.

Adding these items, plus changing the 6Ds to 6CLs brought my BOM up at least 50%- don't use this tool to convert HWI to QS for pricing unless you review it very thoroughly.
