Here's what I'm trying to do:
• I want the system to be very functional without the need for the app (although I fully understand the usefulness and importance of the app for programming, fine-tuning, etc.).
• I want the five lamps to be dimmable. They're all on different plugs, so I figure five separate Lutron Casata Plug-In Dimmers is where I need to start (after the Smart Bridge of course).
• I would like to be able to use one of the Pico Wireless Remotes that comes with the Plug-In Dimmers to do a general on/off and dimming of all five bulbs.
• I would then like to add some functionality to this set-up by utilizing scenes. To do this without the app, I though I could use a Pico 4-button Scene Keypad (preferably one without any engraved text—does this exist?).
I would like to be able to program in four separate scenes into the remote but I'm currently unclear if it's possible to over-ride all four of the buttons. I would then put this Keypad side by side with the Pico Wireless Remote in a 2-gang plate.
Nice, simple and clean. And lots of functionality without the use of the app. So the main questions I have about this set up are as follows:
1. When the lamps are connected to the plug-in dimmers, can one of the Pico remotes that comes with the plug-in dimmers control all five of my lamps? I understand control of individual lamps is not possible with only one remote, but I want to ensure one remote can universally control (on/off/dim) the five lamps.
2. Can the Pico 4-button Scene Keypads be re-programmed to include four distinct scenes (not including fully on or fully off, as those states would be handled with the Pico Wireless Remote)?
3. Is there a Pico 4-button Scene Keypad that will work with this system available without any engraving?
4. Is there anything I'm missing from this set-up? Thank you for reading this. I look forward to your suggestions! Bryan Winnipeg, Canada
