The interesting result I have with dimmable LED lights is that when my
Lutron Maestro dimmers are at 0, I still have a little bit of light. It
makes for a not-unpleasant "nightlight" effect in several bathrooms in the
house, including the Shop!
I too use X10 (all bought in 1999 or so), and am planning to implement Home
Assistant (as a container on my NAS), and need to start picking up some
control hardware. What does this Big Brain Trust recommend? I'm looking for
dusk-to-dawn sensors, controllable light switches (preferably similar in
behavior to my Lutron Maestro switches), telemetry gear (for
temperature/humidity, occupancy, etc). Voice control would be a super
bonus, but I want all of the control to be local, so no Alexa or similar.
