ZigBee Dimmer Controller

If you can get the right zigbee "profile" on the device, and have the skills to write a driver...then you likely could.

My advice? By the C4 product that does the same thing and already has the work done, and a support system in place.

Actually it's EXTREMELY unlikely you can make it work with C4 - generally only hardware developers have access to the resources to make ZigBee devices work with C4. Unless of course you want to sign up as a developer and work with the manufacturer to make the required changes.

Things like this from Alibaba are not for a standard dealer let alone end-user to incorporate.

Hi,

Could someone please advise if l could use these with my Control C200 controller and program them up with Composer?

Thanks in advance

With an FOB price of

FOB Price: US $33.35 - 52.65 / Piece

why bother?

By the time they are imported and duty paid you may as well use the C4 devices?

How much to get them in the country and taxes and duties another 30% so now they are $92 a piece.

You then need to spend the time getting them to work. Say that takes 10 hours at $50 an hour (putting a value on your own leisure time) and you bought 10 they are now $142 each.

And if it does not work you are now out $900 cash and $500 of your own time.

If you went to a dealer and bid $1420 for 10 C4 dimmers and the time to log in to your project and attach them to the project they may just say yes. You would not be far off the MSRP.
