beojeff:Exactly! lol. The "Abba" button is for emergencies when I need a bit of a smile. Please do share what you end up with as your button functions, too. It's always nice to get new inspiration. The great thing about the Lutron keypads and BLGW is that you can tailor it to work with your lifestyle. It's just a bit of a commitment to decide on the engraving.

Kiran:What
Close. The lights dim and Josh Groban starts playing. I do like your champagne on ice idea! If I could find a way to control my Sleep Number motorized bed through the BLGW, I could have it start vibrating the bed, too.
How do you trigger a specific track with the button and what device you trigger (for example BeoSound 5 or a special CD in BeoSound 9000)?
Ok, that make sense, thanks. Do you have assigned your Romance button to a BS5 Playlist? I think your button configuration is very nice. What do you trigger with the News button?
bigdeniz: Ok, that make sense, thanks. Do you have assigned your Romance button to a BS5 Playlist? I think your button configuration is very nice. What do you trigger with the News button?
Thanks. Yes. I have a Josh Groan playlist loaded onto the Yellow "favorite" in N.Music on the BeoSound 5. The News button triggers a macro that turns on my BeoSystem 3 TV and tunes it to a news channel. My "Morning" button on the nightstand also triggers the TV to turn on and tune to a news channel for the morning news. The "Morning" button also starts coffee brewing on the WeMo coffee maker.
I have a "Pathway" button on the nightstand that turns on just the lights needed for a pathway to the bathroom and the kitchen and sets those lights at a pleasant brightness. This is so much nicer than turning on all the lights at full brightness and disturbing your partner in the middle of the night.
The N.Music "number" favorites on the BeoSound 5 are limited to only accept a single song. However, you can load anything and as much as you want in the "colored" favorites.
The "number" favorites for Spotify on the BeoSound 5 do not have this single-song limitation. They can be used for anything you want: albums, playlists, Spotify stations, artists, etc. However, the days of the Spotify interface on the BeoSound 5 might be coming to an end in the near future.

One more suggestion regarding Lutron: The lead time to receive the "midnight" (black) wall keypads can often be SEVERAL weeks. Whereas, dealers usually have the standard white in stock immediately. After receiving the wall keypad, when you order the custom-engraved buttons, you can order the engraved buttons in any color that you want. The new "midnight" custom-engraved buttons usually arrive in just a little over a week. If you DO order the midnight choice for the wall keypad initially, it's a good idea to keep the midnight blank buttons once you replace them with the custom-engraved buttons. Then, you can always replace a white keypad with the midnight blank buttons until you get the engraved buttons.
Replacing the initial blank buttons with the custom-engraved buttons is super easy. You just pop out the old blank keypad button overlay and replace it with the new engraved one. If you later decide to change the engraved buttons, I think the cost is something like $70 USD.
Aussie Michael:Kiran. That's wonderful

Some of them might even bring some of the gorgeous beers, that we see in the 'beer thread' ;-)))
But ok - depends on where you live - flying in from the USA or from Australia might not be possible.
