Mixing Sivoia QS Wireless with seeTouch QS Wireless and RA2 Select
Hello! I’m looking at installing a Lutron shade system, and have a few questions.
My goals are for the shades to be hard-wired for power, to have physical buttons that are also hard-wired at least for power (and communication would be nice too), and to also integrate into a wireless control system, likely RA2 Select. It seems to me that the Sivoia QS Wireless family is capable of this, using seeTouch QS Wireless for the keypads. That’d be wireless control from the keypad, but I’d deal.
There are a few things I haven’t been able to work out:
- Can I program the shades to respond to both seeTouch QS Wireless keypads and control via RA2 Select?
- I’m a little confused about the seeTouch QS Wireless keypad model numbers. I’ve seen both QSWK4-2BR-xx-E01 and QSWK4-2RI-xx-x01 used, seemingly interchangeably, for what appears to be the same keypad. What’s the difference between BR and RI?
- Is there any possibility to do this with hard-wired control from the keypads? Essentially, can I use both the wireless dongle for RA2 control and a wired seeTouch QS keypad (like QSWS2-2BRL-I-xx-E01) for physical button control? (Sivoia QS plus a wireless dongle rather than Sivoia QS Wireless, maybe?) Again, it’s not a deal-breaker if the answer is no, but it’d be preferable if it’s possible.
I want to make this work with something short of HomeWorks QS, which would be overkill for my application. What are the options?
Thanks!
