Palladiom Wire-Free Shade system compatibility
I just sat through the 20 minute corporate video of Lutron's innovation which honestly was really short on substance and high on self-back-patting and didn't see any mention of the new Palladiom shade compatibility. I am looking at the FAQ now and it says:
Quote:
This wire-free shading solution uses Lutron's patented ClearConnect RF for communication. It works seamlessly with Homeworks with QSX processors, RA2 Select, and Caseta PRO. These shades can also be operated independent of a system, using a Pico remote control
Is this the complete list? Are you telling me that Lutron's newest and greatest shade can be used with a $120 Caseta Pro bridge but not an existing Homeworks QS or a Radio Ra2 system?!? Seriously?!?!?!
Shades are already confusing enough to deal with for non-shade dealers- I mean I couldn't even order a pico remote with a picture of a shade on it. There are also a lot of shade dealers that only do shades and leave the integration with the rest of the system for the lighting automation guys (that's me) so why make things even harder by having a shade that's advertised as the newest and greatest and leave two of the flagship and current systems out of it? What possible explanation can there be for that?
