I just wanted to let everyone know we now have updated firmware for our dimmers that allows to nicely sync them together in virtual 3-way and 4-way set-ups. Please register your product on the website to receive access to the firmware files.
Once you update the dimmers, please program them exactly per the directions below:
- Main dimmer (connected to load) - no changes in settings
- Remote dimmers: set parameter 7 to value 11 - this is a new parameter that hasn't been added to the driver yet so you can accomplish the change by clicking the bottom paddle 4 times quickly after you add the dimmers to the hub (the LED indicator will flash 3 times to confirm the change - it will only do that the first time the change is activated so watch closely)
- Set direct association for Group 3 only , adding the device ID's for other dimmers in the group. So if dimmer A is your main dimmer and dimmer B and C are your remote dimmers, add dimmer B and C to Group 3 on dimmer A; add dimmer A and C to Group 3 on dimmer B; and add dimmer A and B to Group 3 on dimmer C.
- IMPORTANT: Remote dimmers can then only be used from the paddles (you need to hide them in Hubitat not to trigger them via Z-Wave) while any Z-Wave or wireless control of the light needs to happen from the main dimmer A. This will ensure all devices stay in sync at all times.
I hope that helps anyone researching this type of set-up in the future!
