Anyway, yesterday I went into Fort Worth to visit Marvin Electronics. I wanted to get a better understanding of what it is I'm getting into $$$. Now I've got to wait another few days before I have an answer. Oh well.
In case your interested, here is what I looking at doing:
First things first, come up with the zones. What rooms will share stuff like music and video. In the case of our house, we will have 6 zones. The master bedroom, bath, and utility room will be Zone 1. Zone 2 will be the Theater. Zone 3 is made up of the living room, kitchen, dinning, and the main hallway that runs down the center of the house. Zone 4 is bedroom 1 (my office) and Zone 5 is the bedroom 2. Zone 6 will be for outside, being the front and back yards.
Next, it was on to the lighting. Because Crestron Prodigy is essentially made up of wireless devices, all I really needed to do was figure out where I wanted my light switches, dimmers, and room controllers.
Sticking to the Zones, lets take Zone 1 and what I wanted to do there.
Zone 1 - Master bedroom, bathroom, and utility room.
P-SWRF Light Switches for on/off
P-DIMRF Dimmers
P-CBD Lighting Keypad
P-CBD-AD Touchpad for music - video functions I hope to install at the same time ($$$)
P-IDOC Ipod/Ipad/Iphone connections
P-STATRF Thermostate
Security System controls
Zone 2 - Theater/Hobby Room
Zone 6 - Outdoors
