I’m looking at a project where the favorite option is upgrading an existing Vantage system to HWQS. The garage/stables system has five dimming panels of it’s own and the main house has probabky double that. The problem is Vantage uses 2 wire keypads so I’d hace to go RF and this is a tough building becuase its completel finished, the garage is a u shape and probably 8k square feet so getting repeaters in ideal location isn’t really possible. I also prefer wired systems and I was amazed to see that the Vantage keypads power and commincate on just two conductors. Anyone have tips that might make this easy.
This is a 12 year old Vantage system with a little lightning damage and while the clients and property managers would prefer going to Lutron I’m thinking I might better serve them by upgrading the Vantage system which means learning that POS. If their KPs were 4 conductors I’d recommend Lutron in a heart beat but upgrading this garage/stables and then potentially the much larger house would be a real PITA.
