Greetings everyone - I know this is kind of a generic question and I've been trying to learn as much as I can before it's time to buy switches and setup HomeSeer at my new house so any help would be appreciated. I'm currently on a trial of the Raspberry Pi Beta for the B+ and it's been running great.
As one might guess, I'm trying to put in all my switches when the electric work is done in about 3 weeks and trying to wrap my head around what type of switches for each situation or location that I would need. I have a few boxes of 3 switches, some with 4 switches and some singles. I guess my questions are as follows:
If someone could get me an overview video or other type of diagram for multi-switch locations or some guidance, it would be greatly appreciated - I know this probably sounds like a super easy question but I'm racking my brain on which switches I'll need at each location (especially when there are switch groups).

I have a few boxes of 3 switches, some with 4 switches and some singles. I guess my questions are as follows:
- Should I just buy a HS-WS200+ for every switch in the house?
- Should I mix and match WS200 and WS100 for each location or can some switches be HS-WA-100+ (Companions)
- I'm not any type of electrician, would our builder be able to just install these directly with the wires provided and figure it out pretty easily or would they need to look at the diagrams?
- Where or how in the 3 or 4 switch box sets would I need a wall companion
