Sorry, in my haste I didn't really add any info - I was a bit bogged down with researching...
I do lighting for the events industry, so I think it's a challenge that I'll be able to handle. I have my 18th edition so no worries about the technical competency.
This is a brand new installation in a garden which is about an acre in size. So I'm ideally going to be doing everything centrally controlled.
Budget is undecided as of yet. Depends on what lighting fixtures are chosen. With regard to the control system, the features I'm looking for are:
- Ability to individually control parts of the garden (i.e. multiple circuits which I imagine every platform supports)
- Ability to record scenes for recall
- Controlled from a wall panel with scene selection or via an app
- Timed turning on and off
- Maybe need support for RGB/RGBW fixtures, but most likely not
There won't be an integration with any other service or entertinament etc so I'm really just looking for whoever does lighting the best (and can support the above).
