dahurldog Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Hi guys I am really interested in the Control4 system, but the cost of the switches etc is prohibitive. https://www.livolo.com/au/catalogDetail/VL-C902Z-3WG These switches look great and reviews seem good. As they utilise Zigbee switches - would they work with Control4? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Wanerka Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Control4 uses there own version of zigbee, so I am not sure that any zigbee protocol will work. I am pretty sure that only control4 zigbee switches will work with c4, but I do like those switches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanchow Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Control4 requires manufacturers add in a Control4 specific cluster on top of their Zigbee stack to make it Control4 compatible. I've only ever done one driver for a manufacturer who wanted to go out of their way to do this as most manufacturers won't do it or don't have the know how to modify their own product (as they use off the shelf zigbee parts). If you like that particular style of switch we do have integration to Tuya enabled wifi products. For example Kogan has a similar style glass lightswitch in 1,2,3 & 4 gangs for a stupidly cheap price. https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/kogan-smarterhome-smart-touch-light-2-switch-gang/ Tuya is utilised by a large amount of the worlds off the shelf home automation products that you can find pretty much at every major retailer (both onshelf and online).

Control4 requires additional functionality to make it Control4 compatible. It is not without reason. wnpublic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
