    But, the Ring Elite still looks much better than the DS2 in my opinion.  The DS2 looks crazy dated.  My wife didn't even allow me to put the DS2 on our front porch.  I would much rather have the Ring Elite on my house (in fact, I do have the Ring Elite).

    Isn’t the Ring elite like $500? No cutting required cause they’re all surface mounted beauties. Looks like you screwed a 3 musketeers bar to the side of your house. 
    Are we talking the original C4 door stations? Those things gotta be pretty ancient.

    Some of these comments seem short sighted. 
    It’s not like your devices stop working... You just can’t upgrade. 
    We’re all in our lines of work to make money.  Control 4 doesn’t charge for upgrades, but they should keep developing advancements so you guys can get new features for free using all of your same old garbage? Come on now. 
    Ooohhh I want the latest and greatest. Cool. Pay for it. 
    You think in 5 years Ring is going to be handing out free feature updates? I mean how many Rings doorbells are out now since the original? Isn’t the first one pretty much obsolete now? Aren’t the latest models different sizes and shapes from the original too?

    for the 5th or 6th time in this thread - having an HC250 ANYWHERE in your project will block the upgrade. 
    NO 250s allowed - not for anything - again like the 6th time

    FWIW Crestron discontinued it’s support for their Apple Watch app altogether last year.
    Apple made some back end changes, and Crestron said to hell with it.

    If you do have an IR bud check to make sure it’s firmly plugged into the controller.  I had this same problem once and the physical connection was loose.

    Did the red light on the charging station turn on to indicate it was charging? Make sure the charging station has power and the remote was fully seated on it?
    You can also make sure the remote is set to charge by pressing List and selecting Settings - Config - scroll down to Recharge Station and make sure Yes is selected. 
    All basic things you probably already checked.

    @JL7678 There's a chance your remote battery is still good and the remote needs a patch update. What os is your controller on?  Otherwise, a new battery can be purchased separately through a dealer.

    I wonder if you could swap out the driver for a 0-10 from meanwell and use a C4 0-10 dimmer. 
    Not sure if you’re able to run the extra wiring at this point since you stated it had to be done by the push control.

    Look, you're using this forum all wrong... Let me help.
    The OP here had some zwave questions. He got some very helpful answers from some knowledgeable folks. You too can get all the info you can handle on any control4 product and just about any 3rd party product that integrates with control4, right here on this forum.
    However, people here don't work for control4. It's dealers, end users... and yes some control4 employees, but they're here on their own time and I'm sure cant speak officially for control4. 
    So when you come here and say "Control4 should do this.." or "Why doesnt control4 do that...?" Honestly, most of us don't know... but if you ask a specific question, chances are you'll get a few pretty informed answers and opinions.

    Dear all... I'm leaving the Control4 aka "Control Freak" show a while. Sorry and apologies to all for wasting your time.
    Enjoy being manipulated by "the CultofC4"
    But most of all (do try) enjoy your own systems. I was you  after all (who at the end of the day) paid for them!!!! 
    P.S  on the way out don't forget to read Orwells 1984 for a bit of insight.

    You can learn about zwave. No one is preventing you. Go study the protocol and all that.

    There is really nothing to know about the control4 side they integrate more or less like any other control4 device if you have the zwave module and it's one of the few supported devices

    Exactly.  Which is why they’re not going to ‘issue updates’ and ‘keep you in the loop’.
    Theyre not going to provide instructions on how to integrate something that has to be done by a dealer to end users.  
    They do provide this: https://www.control4.com/stashes/z-wave but as you can see, the good stuff is beyond in the dealer portal.

    Fair point although I had 2 installed and setup like this in my first house (must be more than 10 years back) and they are still working (or, at least, were 2 months ago). I also have 2 or 3 setup like this in my current house but they are only 4 years old.

    Eh, I’m not sure I agree exactly. 
    Having a non-dimmable ballast on a dimmmer, even just going 0%-100% could definitely speed wear on the dimmer. Or likely the ballasts themselves. Especially an older dimmer, as I’m not sure how well they handle the inrush currents.
    That said, depending on use and the quality of ballasts, could work fine for years. I just wouldn’t be so keen to shrug it off with the price of a dimmer being what it is.
