Hi, Seannie.

For RadioRa 2, you need what is called a "main repeater" that interfaces to the MLGW/BLGW. You can use it over your wireless network, but I prefer to connect the Main Repeater to the MLGW via RS232 for a more stable connection. You can probably find a main repeater on ebay for around $250 USD. All keypad connect wirelessly to the Main Repeater as the hub. For the wall button keypad, you have two options: a hybrid keypad that can dim an attached light or just a basic keypad that does not have a lighting load attached to it. Either way, the keypad is wired to your electricity. Note that the keypad can come in a variety of button configurations. What is good to know is that you can make the keypad ANY button configuration just by ordering the appropriate button replacement when you order the free button engraving. You can also make it any color you chose when you order the button engraving.

If you are replacing a light switch that currently is connected to a Philips Hue, you need to be aware that the hybrid dimmer cannot be attached to the load of the light using a Philips Hue bulb. This is one of those dimmers that cannot be attached to the load of an LED light. Instead, the solution is to hardwire together the load of the Philips Hue lamp so that it is always on and is just being controlled by the MLGW or your iOS devise. 

The MLGW can recognize the key presses of any RadioRa 2 keypad button as a trigger! It's a very elegant solution. So much nicer than the Philips Hue Tap -- which I detest. There is also a tabletop keypad that you can use on a nightstand or coffee table. This, too, has free custom engraving for the buttons. Once engraved, the buttons have a pleasant green backlight that shows through the engraving.

RadioRa 2 also offers room occupancy/vacancy sensors. You can use the sensors as triggers with the MLGW/BLGW to trigger events -- such as turning on or off Philips Hue lights or turning on or off your B&O music in a link room.

Seanie-

I tried to post some photos of my examples, but couldn't get the photos to post in a message. I did, however, upload them to the "Media" section of this website, if you'd like to see some examples.

I can assure you, Beojeff is a genius regarding B&O and Hue! He helped me a lot! 😁

Hello!

The way using Lutron switches is very impressive! Especially the RadioRa2 with personalized buttons are kind of a dream.

Please tell me: If I have "normal" switches (Europe, Austria, 220 V) is there an easy way to switch to Lutron?

How are the RadioRa wired up? Do they get the needed energy by existing wires (220 V) or is there a special wiring/bus needed?

Do I understand correctly that they send a signal to the main repeater which sends a signal through the existing WLAN to the bulbs? 

And would also receive commands from an BLGW oder MLGW?

What about any other bulbs - not Philips Hue? How would this setup work? Also with MLGW/BLGW?

Thanks and best regards
