Try $130+ for a light switch to work with URC gear. OUCH.

Forgot this bit earlier about custom installers...

If the product is retail, with few exceptions, it's not going to gain tremendous support from the CI industry, most of whom are operating in the dark ages and will only support/install/carry brands that offer them protection and support through exclusivity and super-fat margins. Nothing pisses of a custom installer like a consumer's ability to buy from someone else what he installs.
