Time2Jet Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Hi All. I run a C4 System (EA5)in my home for A/V, Lighting, Fireplace, TStat, door locks, garage doors and soon security, door station and bulbs. I'm about to add OSD with EA1's locally to 1 of my video zones. I have a house full of Caseta, but I never automated the Bathroom or Closet Lighting (Closets are on occupancy sensor switches now and may stay that way). At the time I started my project, I was limited to 50 Caseta devices, but I have the Pro Bridge, which supports 75, so now I have room for more. I'm about to try to automate those area's lighting and at the same time try to enhance my Zigbee Pro mesh. I do like Caseta, it works really well and integrates fine. I just found out that the Pico's can be programmed as wireless keypad buttons (please let me know if I am mistaken). Pico's are really cheap and easy to mount and they do tend to work well in my Caseta system. But Caseta does nothing for enhancing my Zigbee Pro mesh. So... I considered one C4 Switch/Keypad in each bathroom together with 2-4 Casetas? I just don't know which model will allow for a lighting load and a keypad? I know the squares will, but I want decora. Thanks always for the help all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they able to be programmed to work like a C4 keypad? I get that there is only 2 buttons, but it'd be nice. I haven't really researched it enough yet.

chopedogg88 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 yes they can be used to trigger Control4 programming. If trying to get a good zigbee mesh (without buying all Control4 lighting), then your best bet is to use C4 keypads or keypad dimmers along with caseta dimmers/switches.

You are confirming my thinking. How would I know which color of C4 matches best to Caseta? I think that's been asked before, I couldn't find that post.

LollerAgent Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Yeah - you should use KD-120's to supplement your Caseta switches like we discussed before. The KD-120's will provide the mesh that you need, control your Caseta loads and do anything else C4-related (control audio/video/etc).
