    I was looking at installing a bunch of LexCom Home Control switches/dimmers as an inexpensive way to control the lights and got told that it's now part of C-Bus wireless.

    Is this the case or can you still buy LexCom gear?

    My other thought was to use Pronto instead of a regular LexCom remote. Has anyone tried this?

    Lexcom Home control and Cbus Wireless are the same under the hood. The Lexcom look is just another style.

    Both Lexcom and clipsal/cbus part numbers are supported in cbus toolkit, and the two product ranges inter-operate quite happily with each other.

    Unfortunately, you can't use a pronto as a remote to control the lexcom or cbus wireless products. You need to use either the cbus wireless remote or the lexcom remote. Again, both are interchangable.

    ... so I can start with installing LexCom switches to start with, and then get C-Bus wireless gateway, etc later on - to control alarm, HVAC, etc?

    What do I need to use C-Bus software with LexCom switches (e.g. to fine tune the scenes, etc)?
