    @aaronpk Aha thanks, so the Caseta switches operate over existing light switches mechanically, that's why 'no wires needed'. Will check them out.

    Aaron Parecki
    There's actually a special "pico" remote that talks wirelessly to any of the wired switches so you can add a switch anywhere on the wall without having planned a wire ahead of time too! But you need to replace the physical switches with Caseta switches first.

    @aaronpk were you not a fan of the Hue switches?

    Aaron Parecki
    They started getting really flaky for me lately, only registering every 4th button press. Plus I never used the middle dimmer buttons, I only wanted them for on/off, and the scene selection modes were super complicated. Really I just want a paddle switch with on/off, and that's exactly what the Caseta Pico remote does!

    @aaronpk Yeah I might be interested. Floods especially I could use more of, and I think the strips could be fun to scatter about. With the standard/floods, are we talking color, ambiance, or just dimmers?

    Aaron Parecki
    I have 6 floods, 4 old style and 2 new style, all are white+RGB. The two strips I have are very old and may not be 100% on all the LEDs so I'll throw those in for free.

    @aaronpk Would you take 250 for the lot?

    Aaron Parecki
    I was originally thinking $300 for the lot, but if you cover shipping I'll take 250!

    @aaronpk Ok got it. So what did you spend, ballpark, to replace your Philips Hue bulbs with the Caseta switches?

    Aaron Parecki
    👀 depends on how you count. I decided to put in Caseta switches in the 2 new rental units as well as our new unit, so adding the current smaller loft we live in was not a huge amount on top of all that.
