BrettB0727 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 What the difference between the 3 models? (I am on 2.0.x, if that matters) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulstevens Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Functionally I don't think there is any difference. It does appear that the C4-DIM1 consumes less power than the others (350mW per the installation sheet.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustJay Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 The difference is the model/version designation. LDZ-101 (is 1st gen), LDZ102 (technically gen 1.75) both of these were shipped as "non Zigbee Pro", for use in systems running pre 1.8.x or 2.0.x Os's. They can be updated to Zigbee Pro, but once they are you cannot reverse the update. A C4-Dim1, has the newer firmware and is compatible ONLY with Zigbee Pro OS's, which are 2.0 and newer. This is the simplified distinction, as the specific details of each model would take a lot of time and space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same number of different tap functionalities? Also, do they all feature the multi color LED on top and bottom, or do the older models have just single color?

ILoveC4 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 They will all function the same. They asl have the same LED's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatormike Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 JustJayJust want to confirm--can the C4-DIM1 be used on a 1.8 system? You stated that the earlier versions were pre zigbee pro, but then said the DIM1 was for 2.0 and later. Just wanted to clarify about the 1.8 situation witn the DIM1.Thanks.

RyanE Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I believe that is correct, but I'm not certain.What I do know is that the DIM1 devices have a different ZigBee chipset in them, and no Embernet firmware was written for them.There is the *possibility* that they could work in 1.8, since it was ZigBee Pro, but there's no guarantee. Your best bet may be to get one and try it. If it does work (but has limited functionality) in 1.8, they'll still work in 2.0.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffyMac Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Hi, I'm using composer 2.5.2. I have some older lighting components around and I have plenty of use for them. The problem is that when searching for a driver the C4-DIM1-Z second generation dimmer driver does not come up when searching for a driver, no matter what combination of search criteria I use. the ldz 101 and 102 do show up. Does anyone know why? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Because there technically IS only one driver - the driver for all three is the exact same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Colton Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 ok, sorry to bring back a dead thread, but was looking at different switches, just looking to add a few more to my system. On the LDZ-101-240, you cant use that for normal inside lighting unless its like an incandescent bulb right? Like for example if I wanted to use it in kitchen, which has an overhead light with an LED bulb in it, that switch would not work for that am I right? Thanks.

Cyknight Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 The 240 is a 240 volt unit - otherwwise it's the normal old dimmer as per above (and meant for incandescent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
