I guess these were designed in response to users like me who would have to go through significant hassle to get neutrals to my switch boxes. Maybe I'll try those out. More expensive per switch, and two devices to mess with instead of one, but it sure beats having to rip out and re-patch drywall.

Unfortunately, they don't have a 2-wire version of the KeypadLinc dimmer which is one that I really wanted.


Well, if one is willing to also rewire the device box (aka. "outlet"), then they can do just about anything.

Pity their regular fancy dimmers still need all three wires, though.

I'm guessing an electrician will price it at about $250/dimmer, parts/paint not included.

Cheers
