Good god, here I was thinking that my efforts to wire up hue lights, home assistant, app daemon, custom code, etc to power the lighting automations in my house were cool. This person is on a completely different level! Impressive and inspiring.

There's a slew of control standards in the lighting industry. Just in terms of wireless, there's z-wave, zigbee, RadioRA2, RadioRA3 (completely different protocol and frequency), and a bunch of others.

I'm personally about to experiment with DALI and zigbee-DALI bridges. Unfortunately, DALI seems more of a European thing, so finding suppliers as well as 120V-capable hardware is trickier (but possible).

Lutron sells kind-of-DALI-compatible gear as EcoSystem.

I can’t believe I’ve never considered analog TDM as a possible thing. I always associated it with digital signals.

Using a clock to mux multiple digital bitstreams seems like a natural fit. Using one to mux analog signals seems strange to me, for no rational reason I can point to.
