The ELK-M1XSLU M1 to Lutron serial interface connects directly to the RadioRA 2 main repeater and enables the M1 to control and adjust the lighting, shades and scenes of a premise. Benefits to the end user include control, convenience and lifestyle enhancement. This product was developed for use by professional integrators and will be available in Q4 of 2011.
