subtle pasture
Didn't assume, made a joke at your expense. lol
forest edge
was actually ew'ing atx if you must know
subtle pasture
I was rather sure you didn't mean the track lighting
Though I'm curious how you'd solve the track lighting problem without smart bulbs. Two tracks, 4 buckets each... would you just straight-up install 8 dimmer switches?
I've seen that done before, but it's a fuckload of wiring
And it was in a store, not a home. lol
subtle pasture
No, individually dimmed buckets
forest edge
or do you mean seperate can lights?
never seen an individually dimmable track light fixture
subtle pasture
They exist, but the amount of wiring required is... prohibitive
forest edge
how do you even control it by default?
subtle pasture
I mean, the hard-wired ones? You install one dimmer switch per light on the track. Each switch connects to a different segment of track
forest edge
so each light has wires that run to the same point
subtle pasture
Some of the segments are wide enough to have multiple lights slotted in, so one switch would then control a group
But you end up with 8 switches on the wall to control one fixture, which is a bit nutty...
forest edge
they make multi button single gang switches
subtle pasture
Yeah, have fun getting that wired up in a single-gang box...
forest edge
well you bought it lol
subtle pasture
I don't think single-gang boxes are actually rated to have that many drops terminate in them
subtle pasture
8 lights total, in my setup
forest edge
but it's not like the wires coming off it is 12ga or anything lol
subtle pasture
i tell you, it was a lot easier to just screw-in 8 smart bulbs
The alternative was replacing two tracks with WAY more expensive ones, and running 6 new drops, and then figuring out the switch situation
forest edge
maybe but again, if something goes wrong and you are not around to fix it.. it's worthless
thats why I choose not to smart light the inside of my home
subtle pasture
No? Just hit the toggle switch >_>
Or use the main room light, which is on a Lutron switch
The track lighting is accent lighting, it's not the end of the world if it doesn't come on
forest edge
I dunno about you but if i had something like that and something happened to me, my wife or family member would see the fixture as broke and chuck it lol
deft pewter
They can just use your life insurance to get it replaced, right?
forest edge
They can just use your life insurance to get it replaced, right?
uh.. really?
deft pewter
Sure. Why not?
You're the one talking about scenarios where you're no longer around.
forest edge
talking about not leaving something complex left to be dealt by someone else
deft pewter
Well it wouldn't be complex once they pay a professional to replace it 😂
subtle pasture
Even if it were wired up 100% analog, it'd be a complex setup
The smart bulbs actually made it a lot less complex, tbh
deft pewter
Yeah. There's a reason electricians cost a ton.
forest edge
i mean if the answer to everything was throw money at it... sure
deft pewter
So if your house's electrics broke, you wouldn't have to throw money at it?
subtle pasture
Yeah, the smart bulb solution WAS cheaper, now that you mention it. lol
forest edge
confused why you would even buy that fixture in the first place
subtle pasture
@forest edge Thankfully, I didn't have to, because smart bulbs added the functionality to my existing fixtures 😄
The analog alternative was cost/time/effort prohibitive
And, you should LOVE this part: you an always use them like any normal analog light fixture, because there's still a toggle switch
deft pewter
But what happens if you die?
forest edge
it seems to me you are just trying to argue for the justification as if someone saying they disagree with smart lighting the inside of thier home was somehow an insult to your decision to buy a complex fixture that required smart bulbs to dumb down
subtle pasture
if covering it bothers you so much, use a Hue remote and leave the toggle visible at all times
deft pewter
complex fixture that required smart bulbs to dumb down
I can't even...
forest edge
they said required 8 switches
subtle pasture
it seems to me you are just trying to argue for the justification as if someone ...
Uh, I just said I DIDN'T have to buy a complex fixture, because smart bulbs added functionality to the fixtures that came with the house...
forest edge
whjat would you call it?
subtle pasture
if I went the non-smart-bulb route, I'd need 8 switches
But since I didn't, I don't
deft pewter
Reading's tough
forest edge
well i don't think you would need 8 switches either for a non smart solution
deft pewter
For individual control over 8 lights, you would.
subtle pasture
How else you going to individually dim 8 lights on a track?
forest edge
told you they make single gang multi button switches
subtle pasture
Hell, most professional stage lighting rigs don't even use analog control these days, it's all wireless...
And they're dealing with a hell of a lot more than 8 cans
forest edge
there is an analog for everything
subtle pasture
yeah, I know, I mentioned the analog option and how much of a pain it'd be to install 😛
forest edge
the difficulty is irrelevant
subtle pasture
Even if you did find a single-gang switch with 8 sliders on it (yikes), it doesn't negate needing to run all that wiring or replace fixtures...
When I could... you know.. just screw in 8 bulbs and be done...
lapis cipher
stage lighting is very much still hardwired all the way
forest edge
again, you sound like your trying to justify your decision. i don't care about any of that. lol
subtle pasture
Not trying to justify it, just asked how you'd do it
Sounds like you'd deal with hard-wiring everything
forest edge
for sure
subtle pasture
Which is valid, though WAY more expensive, and with very little pay-off
forest edge
well i wouldn't buy that fixture to begin with lol
subtle pasture
Also, then you can't recall scenes, you'd have to set every slider to your preference every time...
So it still isn't at feature parity 🤷♀️
Just sounds a little crazy to replace fixtures and install new in-wall drops and switches when a bulb replacement will do the same damn thing.
forest edge
in my situation I don't need nor want my lights to change in accordance to the day time throughout the day. i just want them to come on when someone flips the switch and at most require someone needing to screw in a new lightbulb so that's why i have ths tance i have on smart lighting the inside. as for everything else, to each thier own
subtle pasture
i just want them to come on when someone flips the switch and at most require someone needing to screw in a new lightbulb
This is literally all of my Lutron switches. lol

I don't argue, ever
subtle pasture
it's two old-school tracks with 4 cans installed in each

And I gotta say, having individual control of each light is pretty sweet
forest edge
individually dimmable lights on a track light is abnormal
subtle pasture
not with smart bulbs 🤯

o.O

deft pewter
Something's abnormal here, that's for sure 😂
subtle pasture
Nope, MY fixtures are 100% normal old-school track lights, with no ability to individually dim each can
forest edge
yea, your breathe
subtle pasture
Like I said, I'd need to replace them with MUCH more expensive tracks to get individually dimmable cans with analog control.
or... just install smart bulbs
Which is what I did...

I have another Access point that's PoE
but I don't think it does AC
and I only have one device that can even connect using AC
subtle pasture
What really sucks is when you need to accommodate 5GHz N devices
because they restrict what 5GHz channels you can use
AC devices support more channels + dynamic channels
I had that problem at one point. All my AC devices worked great, but my N devices couldn't even see that 5GHz WiFi existed
Had to move 5GHz to a more congested channel so that N devices could get the hell off 2.4GHz
And it was actually a fair number of devices that moved, once they could see that a 5GHz network existed. Roku, thermostat, every Echo Dot in the house, etc.
last cedar
Oh oh oh
I guess that is what happened to sons old phone
Only worked on certain 5Ghz channels
For something that the average consumer is meant to get working, wifi is very complicated
subtle pasture
Yeah, especially when vendors love to enable performance features by default, which ultimately reduce compatibility
"DFS Channels"
THAT was the problem
AC supports all of the channels in orange, and can even share airspace with weather radar
N can't, and won't even see a 5GHz network on those channels
