Looks like Lutron is ready to start shipping the RadioRa2 temperature controller components.
Here’s the info from an email i received this morning.
Add temperature control to the RadioRA 2 system for increased convenience and energy savings. The three-part design puts each component where it makes sense.
• seeTemp can be mounted in locations which would not normally be appropriate for a thermostat, such as exterior walls and sunny spaces.
• The wireless temperature sensor is easy to position and allows the temperature to be measured in the optimum location.
