Exploring RadioRA3 instead of Caseta
Hello,
We are currently remodeling significant portion of our home and planned to install smart switches. I was only aware of the Caseta line that we had used in a previous home. We have three major concerns with the Caseta switches:
- They are kind of ugly (subjective)
- Hard to use in the dark
- Impossible to disable fade on/off
I just learned about RadioRA3, which sounds like a great solution for our lighting situation. I really like the Sunnata dimmer switches. Unfortunately, it seems that it can only be installed via dealer or I have to take an online course first. We are on a tight timeline because our renovation is already underway. Ideally, I would install the cheapest non-smart switches that I can find temporarily and then upgrade to RadioRA3 via a dealer or myself eventually. This fails for some of the locations, where I had planned to use Caseta smart dimmers and connect pico remotes in other locations to create a three-way switch. Can I connect Sunnata dimmer switches to pico remote for the same effect? Is that possible without a RadioRA3 driver? And which Sunnata dimmer switches do I need to get to be ready for use with RadioRA3 wireless at a later time? If this is possible, I could go ahead and install non-smart switches everywhere and install Sunnata switches in the required locations and upgrade to RadioRA3 eventually.
Thank you
Phil
