Dimmer Proxy to Relays

This driver is a simple convertor that allows you to use a Dimmer Proxy (Dimmer Driver) within Composer and get 10 Relay Connections out.

Features

• Quickly select the lighting driver from System Design
• Quickly bind the Relay outputs to the Relay Driver you need to control
• If the light is dimmed on via the light icon on a navigator this will reflect on the relay driver
• If the relay device is triggered the commands are routed to the lighting device

Properties

• Device Settings
  • Light: This is where you select the light you would like to bind to
  • Relay X Threshold: What % should the dimmer be at to trigger the virtual relay

Connections

• 10 Relay (Output): This is where you will bind the relay connections to the relay driver you want to control. If you are just using a few relays only connect the relays you need.

Gotchas (but shouldn't be a big deal)

• This driver was intended to be used with and was tested with relay drivers set to latching or interlocking drivers and not pulse type.

FAQ

• Can you give us some examples of how we could use this driver?
  • Fan or heater control with a 0-10v dimmer. When a relay driver like the Fan Speed driver we sell is set to a speed, this driver translates the relay connection to a % that the 0-10v dimmer sets to.
  • I’m sure this will just about only be used with the 0-10v dimmer but will work with any dimmer driver that sets level. This will not work for a switch. We make a different driver for that.
• Why did you make the driver?
  • Someone on the Control4 Forums was asking to a proxy conversion so that they could use a 0-10v dimmer control a fan but get have the correct driver reflect on the Navigator.
• Can you have more than one Driver per project?
  • Sure can.
• Can you select multiple lights to control one relay driver?
  • Nope. While possible to do I am not sure why you would. This is designed to be a one light driver to one relay driver.
• Can you select multiple lights to control one relay driver?
  • Yes. While possible to do I am not sure why you would. This is designed to be a one light driver to one relay driver.
• I want to try before I buy…
  • No problem, the driver comes with a free 15-day trial
