thecodeman Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 No, the firmwares dont match, and from my understanding is that your controller needs to have zigbee pro firmware on it to see zigbee pro devices, and there's no firmware up/downgrade available to flash the zigbee pro devices.

ILoveC4 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Nope...there is a reason why training and certification is required to get that software.Just curious, where did you get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spl147 Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you may have some difficulty making those work in your system.Besides not having the power stealing option, I'm pretty sure they're also very likely ZigbeePro thermostats, as has been mentioned here before, Hospitality is on ZigbeePro...RyanEryanEis control4`s zigbee based on the 2004 or the 2006 protocol?

RyanE Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 The long and short of it is that you likely won't be able to identify those stats into a Control4 system without it running ZigbeePro.I could be wrong now, but I don't think so.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecodeman Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I'm trying to think what my electric bill would be if I had 10 thermostats in my house... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 No joke. My heat bill in the winter is over $300 per month, and my electric bill in the summer gets up there too.I only have three thermostats (will add a 4th when the basement gets done). I can't imagine heating and cooling a home big enough to have 10! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spl147 Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 house isnt that big just zoned.......each room is it`s own zone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Each room on it's own zone? My main floor is one zone with the exception of the master bedroom which is it's own zone. The upstairs is another zone. The basement will probably have one zone for the two bedrooms, and another zone for the game room/living room.Is a zone for every room common? That seems like over kill to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 A zone for every room is somewhat common for radiant heat.I have the pipe for every room a radiant zone, but no boiler as of yet.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecodeman Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Not available, as in, these are beta thermostats for a platform other than Control4 residential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spl147 Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 i see........well if they work they work if they dont they dont........there is a driver for it in the composer 1.7.2.160......so thats all i am worried bout at this point........if they communicate sweet if not oh well...........thursday will tell..........if not i`ll send em back for the residential ones...........no biggie really......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecodeman Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 The driver's not going to help you as the communication stack is Zigbee Pro, which isnt out for residential yet, and probably in 1.8 or 2.0 or 2.2 or wherever they decide to put it whenever it comes out. So even if there *is* a driver (which makes sense because they use the thermostat in Hospitality running Zigbee Pro already), it wont help much.All this is IMO and subject to disproval by the great RyanE.

ILoveC4 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I'm sure his "hook up" on eBay that sells tons of these will just throw some of those controllers his way.....Good luck getting all this to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
