ilguy Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I just replaced my porch lights with HUE and want to use the HUE app for control rather than C4. In Composer HE 2.9.1, I removed my old schedules but want to make sure the C4 dimmer is always "on" or at least on for the evening hours and doest accidentally get switched off so that the HUE controls work. Any ideas? Keep in mind, I don't want to add the HUE lights to my project at this time. I've got some already added and find the HUE app much more friendly for my purposes. Thanks!

Home Theater Advisors Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Maybe ?If time is between 6pm and 11pm ? If dimmer turns off -> pause 2 seconds -> turn dimmer on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Have dealer disconnect the buttons from the dimmer (software option) this limits power to secondary interface only, can alway hide the lights to prevent even that - from there program a daily schedule or two to turn it on (in case of controller reboot), and add the above programming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAV Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 When level changes - If less than 90 - set level to 100 And something to correct for power outages. Even if you tap to turn off, as it dims down based on ramp time, it will self correct back to on. Add a check variable and you can activate as needed, maybe your doing holiday lights...

twmoonly Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Pull out and remove load from dimmer and tie in with hot wire. No programming needed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Except that it disables the ability to turn off the load, which may be against your local code, against recommendation and potentially unsafe when replacing bulbs. By keeping it tied in in a manner I said, you do still have the ability to push in the top bar to cut power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
