The Grafik Eye is my favorite part of my home theatre, and it was almost an after-thought. For those who are not familiar with dimmers like this, the whole concept is that you can change the entire mood of your room(s) with the touch of a button. This is hard to visualize unless you've seen one in action, but it is mesmerizing. The GRX-3106 provides the power source and the dimming function for six separate circuits or zones. For example in a home theatre you might have 3 zones: overhead down-lighting, wall sconces, and ceiling uplighting. You can program from 1 to 16 scenes (moods) each with unique lighting levels for each zone. Setup takes a few minutes and changing a scene takes a few seconds.Here are two scene examples: for your home theatre, you might want an Intermission scene and a Movie scene. When you press the Intermission button (scene 1 on the Grafik Eye or IR remote) you want uplights at 50%, downlights at 75% and sconses at 30%. Then when you press the Movie button (scene 2), you want downlights to dim to 0% over the next 15 seconds, uplights to dim to 20% and sconses at 10%. The room darkens gradually with just enough ambient light to see your drink or find your way to the popcorn machine. Of course you will want to set up more scenes than this, like Reading, Watching TV, Night light, All On, etc.The GRX-3106 can also be connected to several other Grafik Eyes for coordinating up to 64 different zones around the house, and can be controlled by a variety of Lutron low voltage controllers that fit into wall boxes just like regular light switches. It's easier if you plan for this kind of lighting in a new home, but you can retrofit a Grafik Eye with the help of an electrician. So the only downside is for existing construction, where you may have to change the existing wiring. Since the Grafik Eye uses a single 15 or 20 amp circuit in, and up to 6 circuits out to different lighting zones, rewiring may be required. It took my electrician about 4 hours ($200) to re-wire my basement for 6 zones and install the device. Also, there are some low voltage cables (like phone cord) that needs to be run through the walls to any wallboxes where you want to place other Lutron L.V. controllers.I highly recommend this device! It has been working flawlessly for 2 years, works with my Sony and Harmony remotes, and actually saves money on electricity and bulbs, since changes are gradual and I rarely have all the zones on at 100%.
