Where I used to work they had outlets and lights that could be "programmed" to operate with a similarly programmed switch. They way the switches and outlets where programmed was by two dials on each fixture, one dial had letters the other had numbers. You could set a switch to G-4 and then it would control all outlets and lights that where also set to G-4.
These did not work via RF instead the switches sent a signal through the AC wiring to all points in the building and would activate the correct fixtures. I called Lutron to see if they had something like that and they suggested I buy their new Radio RA. I'm not interested in spending $150 for each switch and $80 for each outlet for the Radio RA.
So does anybody know what company make the outlets that I first mentioned that could be programmed to work via specific switches?
