Is there a way to control individual dumb lights on the same circuit?

I don't think it is. There's no info about it being available on the info from Sunricher. Remember, zigbee configuration doesn't work the same way z-wave does.

Maybe not.. Gonna have to do some digging .. Curious now..

Yeah, these AC dimmers and controllers (even remotes) are seen with so many rebrands from the Sunricher production line. All with a different pricepoint. But who knows if the firmware is all the same in all of them? Probably and most likely, but not sure or tested... :wink:

Thank you for that!! I was confused why I couldn't find a manual or other deeper info on the RGB genie dimmer. Thanks to your comment, I found it at ZigBee AC Phase-Cut Dimmer SR-ZG9101SAC-HP.

Slightly off topic but.... does anyone know of a reason to use leading edge dimming instead of trailing edge dimming? (I assume trailing edge = phase cut).

Leading edge is better for incandescent loads.. Trailing edge is better for LED loads.. The z-wave model is software selectable..

I understand, when we only had incandescent lamps, triac's were cheap and effective. But they can only work as leading edge.

When LED's and Mag devices came along, they need the leading edge to be powered to function properly, so MosFets became the switch of choice. They can provide trialing edge dimming.

The question was; Once you have Mosfets as the power switch, why would you ever make it in a leading configuration. Incandescent will work just fine with either control scheme. Unless I'm missing something......

PS I'm truly not trying to be argumentative, I'm assuming since the RBGenie (or Sunricher) folks went through the effort to allow leading edge to be selected they must think there is some device(s) that work better with Leading edge dimming.

@bcopeland Is your driver capable of setting and controlling the 4 different channels for the ZW-1001? I have the ZB-1003 but cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to control the 4 channels for this one (with the included zigbee drivers).
