Lighting

Circadian Lighting is a new driver suite by Janus Technology that allows you to easily program a circadian rhythm for any tuneable white dimmers in your project.

NOW FULLY SUPPORTS OS 3.3 Lighting

Each circadian lighting controller can configure a schedule entirely from composer for a subset of lights you choose from your project - this means you can have multiple entirely different schedules running in one project, with a different subset of lights being controller by each!

Common use cases of this would be to synchronise the colour temperature of your lamps to your location's daylight, or possibly even your sleep schedule to give warmer colours at bedtime and cooler ones during the day.

The Collingwood TR2818 Wifi-to-RF transmitter is designed to provide easy control of up to 8 zones of RGB, RGBW or CT (colour temperature) lighting.

Using this with the C100924 RGB & RGBW controller removes the need for complicated DMX systems, with multi-zone colour change easily achievable.

This driver suite brings compatibility for these systems into Control4, with built-in support for the zone-learning setup process, scene save & recall functionality, and custom commands allowing for 10 unique run modes.

Colour Wheel for Control4 is a unique driver from Janus technology providing a sleek, colourful, and intuitive web interface for Control4 RGB, RGBW and Tuneable White (WW) Lighting drivers.

The screen is dominated by the spectacular colour wheel, which allows for the easy control of multiple lighting channels, adapting to type of light controller - RGB, RGBW, WW. There is support for 8 scenes per room, with on-screen visual scene colour indication, and simple selection. The interface complements the existing Control4 lighting screen, and is selectable from any T3 touch screen.

This driver is a simple convertor that allows you to use a Contact Sensor Input (like from a Controller, Z2IO, Z2C, etc….) within Composer and get a Keypad Connection output.

Features

• Quickly bind the contact connection
• Quickly bind the corresponding keypad connection to a device (like the Toggle of a light)
• Should mimic a keypad button press including the push and hold to dim a light.
• Contact Connection 1 is linked to Keypad Connection 1, and so on…

Properties

• Device Settings
  • Click Rate: This is where you set the click rate to differentiate from a quick click (single tap) or a longer push and hold

Connections

• • 20 Contacts Inputs: This is where you will bind the driver to devices like the contact on a controller, IO Extender, Z2IO or Z2C (or similar)
  • 20 Keypad Inputs: This is where you will bind the driver to a device like you would a keypad button

FAQ

• Can you give us some examples of how we could use this driver?
  • We have had some requests were an old, centralised lighting system is being changed and need to use existing switchgear. This allows for pulse, press, release inputs to a contact so that the existing switchgear acts as if it were a keypad button
• Can you have more than one Driver per project?
  • Sure can.
• Can you bind multiple connections to a contact connection?
  • Nope.
• Can you bind multiple connections to a keypad connection?
  • Nope.
• What if I have 2 buttons that need to control one light
  • You can bind the one contact to a connection and then connect to other to another contact connection. The corresponding keypad connections can both be bound to the toggle connection of the light.
• I want to try before I buy…
  • No problem, the driver comes with a free 15-day trial

Homemation – Crestron Lighting Driver

This is a two-way driver between Control4 and Crestron. This is to be used in combination with the Creston Module written.

Secondary Drivers: 

• To add dimmable lighting loads to the system, use the "HM Dimmable Light" driver.

• To add switched lighting loads to the system, use the "HM Non Dimmable Light" driver.

• To use a relay with non-lighting loads, use the “HM Relay Interface” Driver which allows you to connect a Control4 Relay Driver so that it reflects in the correct place on a Navigator.

• To use a keypad button from Crestron within Control4 you can use the “HM Keypad” Driver. Each button requires an address from Crestron. You can then bind these in connections or use them in programming.

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

Homemation Occupancy Driver

This driver allows for quick & easy setup of Occupancy for a room to turn lights, AV & HVAC off when there has been no movement for a defined period.

Features

• Ramp dimmers to a pre-set level on Occupancy
• Set an Occupancy Timeout of 1 minute to 1 hour
• Turn a rooms AV off when Occupancy Timeout is reached
• Control Thermostats based on Occupancy
  • This was tested & works well with the Chowmain Intesis Driver but should work with all Thermostat Drivers
• Enable or disable the Occupancy via UI Button on a Navigator
• Enable, Disable or Toggle the driver with a Keypad with LED feedback
• A separate but FREE Occupancy Controller driver to update multiple Occupancy Drivers simultaneously from programming

Enhanced Lighting Interface is an invaluable companion driver to the unique lighting drivers by Janus; Color Wheel and Circadian Lighting.

The driver allows control of separate single-channel dimmer drivers as if they were distinct channels of a multi-channel fixture, fully managing the relative scaling of each channel needed to show complex colours.

It can behave as an RGB, RGBW, WW or Tunable white fixture, bringing along with it the relevant custom commands – so you can take full control of the integration with Control4 programming!
