Hopefully your dealer has 3.1.2 Composer Pro and you have 3.1.2 Composer HE, I heard nothing is modifiable if you don't have matching versions.

Oops... he has Pro 3.1.2.  I don’t yet have HE 3.1.2... hopefully he can fix that for me soon!

Thanks also to he or she who shared the release notes with me.  essentially:

1. Some new lighting products (Essential Range) - look very basic).

2. Faster camera snapshots on T3 and Android devices.  I can already attest to a noticeable improvement on T3s.

3. Lots of bugs were squashed (hopefully no new ones introduced)...

New outlet dimmer and switch are long overdue. 
Essential even.
Still looks ugly AF.....

I just can't wrap my head around ahy Control4 doesn't start supporting Zigbee 3, so many great devices which can't be used.
Control4 using any Zigbee 3 device would certainly boost zigbee in general and that's needed as ZWave is doing much better

Agreed long overdue. Wish they had went with a  in wall solution, even if a deeper electrical box was needed.

Ehhhh. percentage wise they consume a LOT more power, about 600% more (3w)

No no no.

These devices do not work well if they are connected to a ZAP (not coordinators) within a single mesh that are NOT in range of the 'rest' of the mesh (the ZAP Coordinator).

Techniacally, C4 already has been recommending getting rid of secondary ZAP and moving to mesh, in these situations you HAVE to.

But you now have an $85 device for those garage light switches and switches inside closets and other things that clients were reticent so spend top $ on.

I'm guessing the $45 price for Gen 1/2 devices on eBay is about to tank.

Is that an about face by C4?  I thought Composer/HE was supposed to be version independent of projects now.

On HE you can run 3.1.2 on a 3.1.1 System but can Run 3.1.1 on a 3.1.2 System

Great Idea makes life easy and the self updating is even better

correct - same with Pro...you can run down but not up
