We are a couple of weeks away from moving in.  The electrical has been signed off, and we can at last turn on lights, sort of.

We are using a Lutron Homeworks QS system, which uses digital switches.  The switches talk to the “brain” which in turn commands the appropriate “wall box power modules” to turn circuits on, or, and sets an dim level.  These are really just intelligent relays.  Because our system is not yet programmed, we can only turn on all circuits in a module with a single button.  All on, or all off.

But the house sure does look pretty at night with all (most all) of the lights on.

We are hoping to get the programming done in the next week so we can actually use the wall switches.
