Waring192 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Hi all, More questions I'm afraid! I have purchased some Control4 dimmers. 2 x 1 dimmer and 1 x 2 dimmer which are UK faceplate style (square). I have everything but the buttons/keypad on the way so I was wondering what is the product codes (not including colour) for the buttons required? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thepritch88 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 The buttons are referred to as colour change kits, the part number is C4-CKSK-XX. XX being the colour code. AU-silver, BL-black, MB- midnight black, SW-snow white, WH- white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thepritch88 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I’ve never used the rocker before but it looks like it just another style of button. In terms of functionality I don’t think there would be any difference, it just depends on how you want to configure the keypad Waring192 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 The rocker is just one big button the rocks to the top and bottom, like a regular (non-keypad) dimmer. Just get the color change kit with everything so you have options. You can still just do 2 big buttons (one for top and one for bottom) and it functions just the same - the only difference is you’ll see the seam between the buttons.

Cheers With the side note that I'm not familiar with the UK versions, I want to point out that in North America the rockers can be used on keypads, but keypad buttons CANNOT be used on dimmers (or switches). No, you can't just use the '3 height' buttons instead of a rocker, because the 'pin' that pushes in the actual button on the dimmers/switches isn't the same as when you use a rocker Waring192 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Also, why aren't there rockers/buttons already on your devices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waring192 Posted November 9, 2019 Author Share Posted November 9, 2019 Cheers for the info. i have bought them off a forum member. Why they don’t have the buttons I don’t know? Maybe they had custom engraving? Anyhow, looks like its the none rocker I need. Just need a dealer to sell them to me! cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh ok, i don’t suppose there is a link to all these little items? My friend who is a dealer does all the coding for me but I hate calling him loads asking small questions like this. The C4 website catalogue only covers the main part and not the smaller items like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILoveC4 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Every size of button you can use, along with the little bars that go at the top and bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I think they do list them on the website. Go look at the spec sheet for the lighting and they have “compatible accessories” or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
