System Operation/Limitation Questions
Hello:
1) Is there a limit to the number of separate systems that can be added to the app?
2) Are timeclock events stored locally within the bridge so that if the phone is shut off or internet is lost, or local computer network is down, the bridge will still send out the timeclock events?
3) When you add a Pico to the bridge, does the Pico talk exclusively with the bridge, or still directly to the dimmer, or will it also attempt to talk to both? In other words, how far can we really communicate within spec? if the Pico talks to the bridge, then you should be able to provide this solution: DIMMER----30'----BRIDGE----30'----PICO. However if the Pico does not talk to the bridge, then you still need 30' between pico and dimmer.
Come on really 30 ft range and no repeaters allowed? Why the limitations?

I always thought of Lutron as a progressive company and was excited when they partnered with all these companies like wink, amazon, apple, nest etc. to make these devices ready to rock n roll as opposed to going the old IBM way. Then we get hit with these unnecessary limitations. Folks we are willing to pay slightly more but for god's sake don't put these limitations. I presume these are not due to technical reasons but because you do not want these products to cannibalize the sales of your existing lines.
Now think about this: would you rather sell 1000 systems at $300 bucks or a million systems at $100 bucks? You have a narrow window of opportunity. Thank you.
