TO BE NOTED: This product requires CA5500 remote control IN ORDER to be programmed. You cannot program this merely due to you having another controller vizia, harmony, etc. will work but a CA5500 is required. I believe that the information above should be noted in the product information on this site along with others. Other than that, the product worked flawlessly for me. I do not understand why other people are having difficulty programming, I felt the process was pretty simple. You press a single button on the remote to learn and press which switch you want to learn. Do this for all devices and move on to the next. To program the 6 button scene controller you simple press and hold a scene for 10 seconds and adjust all lights, etc. accordingly. Press the button again and the 6 scene programs itself. I have this mounted at my exit door and LOVE IT. The controller lights up each scene with a brighter light to show which scene is on. Upon exit I can see if any lights are on, or do a complete lights off button. 6 scenes was enough to run my house so I am not linking any together and keep the remote and 6 scene the exact same. I also have a Harmony 890 controller with the same scenes setup to make life really simple. I love the setup and highly recommend.
