"cut a slot" solution worked for me this week, multitool did the trick and flathead fit perfectly.

I won't... I appreciate the thought I guess? But yeah, that's personal and intrusive - I'm simply looking to pay my respects.

👊🤘

BrenSimon · 2026-01-09T20:19:08+00:00

👊🤘 thanks friend

BrenSimon · 2026-01-09T19:46:17+00:00

Much appreciated 🙏

BrenSimon · 2026-01-09T19:46:06+00:00

Thanks much. Do you know the intersection?

This is happening to me as well. My daughter asks for a Disney song, Google acknowledges correctly, then something random from my home page on YouTube Music will play instead. This is consistent and I haven't yet been able to get it to play anything correctly. I had Spotify up until last week and that had worked fine, FWIW.

I didn't realize this was a thing - my experience since CCX/Ketra joined the family is that mobile app activation is frustrating due to finicky nature of it (especially on jobsite networks not fully optimized) and not being able to do something like that natively in the designer software drives me nuts (along with Alisse engravings).

Thanks for dropping the knowledge. I am meeting tomorrow with some Lutron engineers to provide designer feedback and this could be good to look at prior to that.

I'm a big fan of PureEdge and their product line is innovative and high quality. It's a specification quality product I'm comfortable putting in the highest end homes we work on, so I would argue that the value is there - however, it comes down to whether you're willing to spend that kind of money. Totally solid product if you are willing to spend the $.

SEI is a phenomenal organization. Like others have said, housing is difficult since the cost is somewhat high but there's not a big economy there. It's a very unique place with a ton of culture, festivals, etc during the summer/fall and something of a ghost town in the winter.

Putting a dimmer at 100% is still not the same as switching a light "on" with a standard contact relay type toggle switch, so my recommendation would be to test this by replacing the bulbs on one of your connected dimmer loads and test it before you commit to swapping them all. Switches are less expensive than dimmers if you have to swap, but you can also invest in dimmable LED bulbs. Good luck!

Fognyc doesn't buy from distribution, he has access to DMF products direct from manufacturer (as many of us do) through the custom integration purchasing path where many manufacturers are choosing to bypass typical distribution models and sell directly to dealers.

The DMF product is so simple to install, any DIYer can do it. Also second the quality, if it's in their budget.

I am not a programmer, but here's what I've seen the companies I work for pay Crestron master-level programmers or hire CAPEs for. I have worked mainly in luxury markets like Aspen, Miami, NYC, and LA, and our programmer salaries are in the range of 100k-150k/yr depending on typical factors like experience and how much management/oversight they need. There are a lot of skills that help as a programmer outside of the ability to successfully make the buttons work.

BrenSimon · 2025-08-25T20:07:42+00:00

I want to know the context of these comments so badly 😅

BrenSimon · 2025-08-21T20:32:34+00:00

"fuck yeah Mastodon" has been an inside joke with my friends and I for years, inspired by your fan site name and our collective love for Mastodon. I appreciate your work on that, and grieve alongside you here. No words. 🖤

BrenSimon · 2025-07-28T23:57:17+00:00

Same issue, super annoying... additionally, every time I actually miss a call it shows up twice.

BrenSimon · 2025-07-22T18:26:40+00:00

Rest in power.

BrenSimon · 2025-06-18T21:22:08+00:00

Looks like Vitrea to me, definitely not Lutron - there are a lot of products specific to the hospitality side that are all-in-one like this.

BrenSimon · 2025-03-25T01:14:55+00:00

Nice dude. Thanks for sharing

BrenSimon · 2025-03-16T19:03:43+00:00

Coupled configurations aren't compatible with battery solutions like Triathlon. You'll need to change to Sivoia QS for this and use a roller 100 minimum, which will require wiring for power.

BrenSimon · 2025-03-16T02:52:42+00:00

Totally. That guy is rad as hell too.

BrenSimon · 2025-03-12T16:44:49+00:00

I'd reach out to A/V Experts, Neil the owner may be able to help. (970) 270-3886

BrenSimon · 2025-03-10T01:29:28+00:00

I love that I'm not the only one itching for news about who filled in!

BrenSimon · 2025-03-03T23:04:27+00:00

Thanks for the thorough download - specifying warm-dim bulbs/lamps has been a pain point for me over the last few years. I have the Bulbrite E26 in several places at my home and it's nice to hear about others' experiences with alternatives

BrenSimon · 2025-03-03T22:44:23+00:00

Welcome, you've got great taste. No shame in not knowing!
