System design types
Hybrid (Wireless and Panelized Lighting)
A hybrid lighting design combines a centralized or distributed
Panelized Lighting design with localized Control4 wireless
switches and dimmers. This design gives the flexibility to place
elegant wired keypads or touch screens in prominent areas,
such as living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens and foyers, while
providing familiar toggle switches and dimmers in areas such as
guest rooms and closets.
Recommendations
Like centralized and distributed lighting systems, hybrid lighting
systems are ideal for new construction, but they are also a great
solution for renovations that include a new addition to an existing
structure. For example, Panelized Lighting can be used in the new
addition, while wireless can be used in the existing construction
area. Hybrid system designs are considered “best practice” by
Control4, because the Panelized Lighting system provides a
great aesthetic implementation through elegant keypads. Placing
several wireless keypads and load control devices helps to build a
strong wireless “mesh” in the home. This wireless mesh helps with
the wireless reliability of other Control4 devices such as battery-
operated remote controls.
