IR Dimmer

[ra1nman]

Just wondering if anyone is using an IR dimmer to control their lights? Because I don't have a light switch in my living room, all the lighting I have is thru wall outlets. I've been searching high and low for one online and the only one I could find is this one:
SPS-300LD-RP. Just curious what other alternatives there are.....
I figure since I have a learning remote, might as well put it to extra use since I'm lazy......lol.

I use X10 which is RF but you can get a IR to RF converter.

That's part of the Lutron Spacer System. I use four Lutron Spacer System IR switches and Accessory Dimmers with my Harmony 880. Works like a charm. I even have mini macros associated with my remote that when I hit pause the lights come up to a low setting and when I hit play it dims before the program continues.

It really wows the guests.

What about a remote A/B Switch? Long story, but right now, I have to physically control an A/B Switcher when I want to change from my Digital OTA channels to regular cable. I have a Harmony One, so I would love to add that command to change it automatically.

I went to my neighbors house with a dedicated theater room and was wowed by his lighting. Hence the reason why I want to do the same.......just on a smaller....smaller....smaller scale.

Yah, that looks exactly like what I'm looking for. Now, I'll see if I can find one like it a little cheaper.
