![]() ![]() Still cheaper for the client than paying an electrician to re-install all the Ra2 wallbox parts. The hardware cost to 'upgrade' a Ra2 device to HWQS would be 'paid for' by a license, client buys P6 processor and RF repeaters, Dealer sends in the Ra2 main repeater(s) to complete the license. I think that if the industry approached this as a 'license upgrade fee' that worked similar to HWI keypad license, that would be more attractive to both clients and dealers. It doesn't do the customer or Lutron any good to force them to rip out RA2, as almost none of them would do it and Lutron and installers would just face less profit. The dimmers you have were around 249, new ones are 139. A RA2 main repeater is 550 and a RA2 Select main repeater is 249. RadioRA 2 prices are considerably less than what your system originally cost. Lutron could definitely make a higher upgrade price for RA2 device-compatible and QS repeater since the HWQS devices are more costly if they want to maintain the price point. If you have QED shades you might be able to upgrade them to QS. I've been wanting to do this for some clients, as it's hard when they're new to lighting control to get them to invest for HWQS. While I believe Lutron could absolutely make this happen, I don't believe they will.
