Is it possible to use the C4 dimmer as a switch instead of a dimmer?  Any disadvantage other then cost?  How about using multiple dimmers on a 3 way setup instead of using 1 dimmer and 2 switches?

 

 

Thank You 

It is not recommended (nor supported at all with the latest generation dimmers) to use a Control4 dimmer as a switch.

 

If you have a non-dimmable load,you should use a Control4 *switch* on that load.

 

As far as 3 way wiring situations, you should have a single dimmer or switch, and *keypads* on the non-load boxes.

 

If you mean can you use a dimmer or switch as a *keypad*, while it's possible, it's also not recommended, as dimmers / switches have more electronics in the wall box, create more heat, and are less configurable than keypads.

What about a keypad dimmer as a switch? As far as I can tell there isn't a such thing as a "Keypad Switch"?

This does seem to be something that is missing in the C4 line up!
