SuperSpiker Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I'm going to be adding lighting to my C4 system very soon. But before I purchase the wrong items I thought I'd check with the forum.First I'd like to make sure my understanding is correct.If I have (traditional) 3-way switches at the top and bottom of my stairs which control 1 light I would need to replace them with a C4 dimmer and a 2-6 button keypad. Correct?Also I understand there are different versions of the dimmers and keypads. How do I know which ones to buy? I've got a HC-300 which is running 2.0 and as such I'd like to ensure I buy the latest versions of the dimmers/keypads. What are or where can I find the model numbers of the current Zigbee pro dimmers/keypads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct?This is correct. You need 1 dimmer and a 2, 3 or 6 button keypadAlso I understand there are different versions of the dimmers and keypads. How do I know which ones to buy? I've got a HC-300 which is running 2.0 and as such I'd like to ensure I buy the latest versions of the dimmers/keypads. What are or where can I find the model numbers of the current Zigbee pro dimmers/keypads?I would make sure you get the ZigBee Pro versions. For exqmple the dimmer is C4-DIM1-Z. See http://www.control4.com/products/lighting/. The older dimmers can be upgraded to ZigBee Pro but the new models have better feel and more memory and a slightly faster processor.

ILoveC4 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Any new dimmer you buy will be on Zigbee Pro, and all the old ones can be upgraded to Zigbee Pro. I agree that the new ones have a better feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
