Buttons needed for dimmers?

Hi all,

More questions I'm afraid! I have purchased some Control4 dimmers. 2 x 1 dimmer and 1 x 2 dimmer which are UK faceplate style (square). I have everything but the buttons/keypad on the way so I was wondering what is the product codes (not including colour) for the buttons required?

Cheers

The buttons are referred to as colour change kits, the part number is C4-CKSK-XX. XX being the colour code. AU-silver, BL-black, MB- midnight black, SW-snow white, WH- white

I gathered that part cheers but what is the difference between:

C4-CKSK-xx (keypad)

 or

 C4-CKSR-xx (rocker)

in terms of dimming?

The rocker is just one big button the rocks to the top and bottom, like a regular (non-keypad) dimmer. Just get the color change kit with everything so you have options. You can still just do 2 big buttons (one for top and one for bottom) and it functions just the same - the only difference is you’ll see the seam between the buttons.

With the side note that I'm not familiar with the UK versions, I want to point out that in North America the rockers can be used on keypads, but keypad buttons CANNOT be used on dimmers (or switches). No, you can't just use the '3 height' buttons instead of a rocker, because the 'pin' that pushes in the actual button on the dimmers/switches isn't the same as when you use a rocker

Cheers ILC4. Do you know the colour change kit part number?

I have some at home that I could look at, but they’re for the US and not the square UK ones. 

Ahh ok, i don’t suppose there is a link to all these little items? My friend who is a dealer does all the coding for me but I hate calling him loads asking small questions like this. The C4 website catalogue only covers the main part and not the smaller items like this.
