Oh, one other observation (a minor one relative to the bigger problems, but still worth noting). When we were in the quoting phase, I asked what kind of LED lights were being spec'd. He said they were PAL lights. That raised a red flag, as I had assumed the lights would be Pentair, so they'd be controllable by the Easytouch. He said not to worry, the Easytouch would control them.
I then asked him very specifically, "so you mean that the colors can be changed by selecting the colors from the menu on the Easytouch, not just by manually cycling the power off and on numerous times to step through the different colors, right?" He was very clear in his answer... "yes, all these manufacturers' lighting products work together and communicate with each other" (or something to that effect... I don't remember the exact wording, but he made it clear that the Easytouch would communicate with the PAL lights).
I accepted this, though it didn't sound right to me. But a few days ago, I noticed this thread...

He mentions having PAL lights and an Easytouch, and that the Easytouch does not control the color of the lights.
Of course, the Intellibrites are significantly more expensive than the PALs, but I would have paid the difference to be able to control the colors with the Easytouch.
