Which luminaire control solution to choose?
Good day!
Could you help with the choice of technology and specific devices for the next task?
There are 5 incandescent lamps with a power of 40W each (220V connection).
The wires from the lamps are brought to one place where it is possible to install anything.
I would like to be able to control the on / off, brightness through the remote control or computer interface (there is a PC nearby with the ability to connect anything to it, usb / ltp / com).
It is desirable to have 3-5 groups, that is, at least you want to control 2, 2 and 1 lamps independently; Ideally, of course, you want to independently control each lamp.
Physical switch control is optional.
What can you advise?
He himself looked towards x10, but was a little confused.
As far as I understand, I need:
LM12W In-line dimmer module, X10, load 300W - from 3 to
5pcs Control panel X10 desktop mini, 8 addresses, IR remote control, radio remote control 433 MHz, IR7243RF
X10 key fob 4 addresses, radio 433 MHz, KR22
Perhaps you can offer a more convenient / cheap / compact option?
Thanks in advance!

if you need cheaper X10 and there is no complete certainty with the Wishlist, then Arduino. If you need compactness, then, for example, Arduino Nano + 5 MOSFET transistors, control via USB, any IR remote control, or RF receivers (including ready-made key fobs or radio switches). If you take a larger scarf, then you can additionally control via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Android or the Internet.
And you can make any software logic - at least during the day of the group, and at night individually, according to motion sensors or other events.
noolite is a good thing - with the help of their own adapters, you can integrate into more complex systems
