Hi everyone,
We decided to sell our home and upgrade to something bigger, at least 3000+ sq feet if not more, so I was thinking I could finally look at RA2. Right now we use Caseta mostly and a mix of Z-Wave and other technologies.
When I looked into RA2 before at my condo, I was doing all the training videos online to get certified in programming it and so on but then decided to not go ahead with it. Was thinking it would be good to just do it at my new place though but seems like it's meant to be more for a professional installer as I can't find any places (at least in Canada) where I can just buy the switches etc other than eBay. I'm not against a professional install, but the reality is that 95% of the fun of automation is doing the installation and programming yourself I think, so I'd just hate to pay someone to take away all the fun lol.
Can it be purchased from anywhere, or do you need to be a partner or something to buy it, which is why only eBay seems to have it? Not 100% I want to go this route as the dimmers are significantly more expensive than other technologies so still have to see if it's worth it, but wanted to post first to find out. I'm ideally looking for somewhere like a typical online store, where I can see all pricing and buy it myself vs having to request a special quote etc (since I have NO idea what a retail dimmer or controller etc should even cost, so be nice to compare a bit).
Thanks!
