If you need to use a VPN to access overseas channels for example, Shield is the way to go. Overally, great device and very versatile. Still working great years after its launch. Agree that tough buy today at full price for a 5 year old product... But still a beast! Nothing it can't do and well integrated with Control4

Reach out to neil12011 or chopedogg88. They can help you and they have supported tons of happy members of this forum. I have had a great experience with Neil and he has done marvels for me.

By the way, is there a reason to or not to "upgrade" from Nest account to Google account? I have held off and kept mine on a Nest account. But it seems to create some issues on Nest to add additional users for example. It seems to be time to migrate to Google but unclear of what I would lose. Thanks

What are the main differences between this driver and the official Control4 one? At least for a Core/EA owner. Thanks

Thanks a lot Jack. Do these work natively with Control4 or do you need a separate hub? Wasn’t sure based on below. And are you using a Core controller? Happy with the experience and programming flexibility? I have ordered one of the dimmers (same manufacturer as Enbrighten) to test. Seems like a solid alternative to native switches and dimmers especially in hidden/less critical areas.

Bump. Anyone able to comment on this as an alternative to more expensive Lutron or Control4 dimmers for Core controllers owners? Thanks.

I highly recommend Neil. He is fantastic and has helped many of us on this site. Really glad he is back and able to help us again.

Has anyone tried the UltraPro Z-wave dimmers and switches? I am very happy with my Lutron Ra2 system and its integration with Control4 but at $30, these dimmers and switches are a formidable alternative to Lutron and Control4 smart dimmers if they work well with Control4 and the Core controllers. Anything missing? Anyone tried them either directly via Core or via a separated z-wave controller?

Missed the scroll down!!! Thanks!

Ryan, where do you find the "open time" event?

Cho The Z-wave driver for Kwikset in from Oct 2019. Is there a more recent one for the new Core 5 controllers? And are all Kwikset Z-wave locks or chipset modules supported? Very confusing...

I updated my HC800 to Core 5. Biggest changes are speed of loading of iPhone app (almost instantly - huge improvement) and slightly improved Zigbee range (although it may be linked to other factors). No issues so far. Still experimenting with Zwave support. Happy with the upgrade. Vital for your system if working well - no… At least not yet. But no reason not to do it if you can/want.

And does anyone know if the Aeotec Zwave range extenders are compatible with Control4? looks like a useful and cost effective option. https://aeotec.com/products/aeotec-range-extender-7/

Bill, I know this to be the case for the Zigbee one. But does not make sense for Zwave as no Control4 Zwave lock. And I remember seeing on the forum folks having success with the Zwave lock… assuming you have a Core controller with native Zwave activated. Am I missing something here?

Does anyone know the Zwave range of Core 5 receiver? Is there a way to troubleshoot? I have a Zwave card installed in a Kwikset lock a floor below Core 5 but it is not been detected in Composer Zwave module? Is there a way to extend Wave range such as upgrading antenna for example? Or adding a "range extender"?
