Composer4hire Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Due to an admin error beyond my control i dont currently have access to the dealer support site for docs, etc. I'm adding a lutron system remotely to a c4 system that currently doesnt have a 4site license so I'm flying blind here. Can anyone tell me how I'd go about bring the loads from lutron into c4? I have the processor linked via IP and I've added my keypads and shades from the integration IDs I cant find any evidence of lighting loads, nothing shows up under lighting from the composer navigator adjustment screen, what am I missing? I very rarely do composer programming anymore and am in a lutron specific division with the company I work for.....Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstafford388 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Keypads won't show up on interfaces, you need to add the drivers and integration IDs for the lights themselves. You can trigger the keypad events with the phantom button drivers if you need to though, but they won't show on an interface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Composer4hire Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 yea I see what your saying. thats what was throwing me off. seeing the driver for homeworksqs dimmer makes it sound like its a wired dimmer rather than a module output but I guess its just really based upon the ID. appreciate the response brother.

Composer4hire Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 seemingly even more of a pain in the ass is having to either create the scenes again in advanced lighting or tie them through phantoms. Savant integration is a lot better in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstafford388 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Yeah it's a bit tedious, and the Savant integration is a little easier. That's why we mainly sell Control4 systems with Control4 lighting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Composer4hire Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 Ive never done anything with c4 panelized lighting but from everyone ive talked to its less than great, is that your experience as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstafford388 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Not at all. I've been involved in llots of very successful C4 panelized lighting jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been involved in llots of very successful C4 panelized lighting jobs. +1 to that. iv'e done a lot of Lutron, Clipsal, Control4, Crestron Lighting and honestly once they are set up properly they just work. i've even mixed a few of them together. Had a client who liked the dimming from Lutron Modules (I know it sounds silly, but yeah lol) but wanted Clipsal EDLTs. The keypad thing threw me off too when i first started out lol Thanks M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
