1. Add the Driver
You require one instance of the Rithum Control4 driver in your project per physical Rithum Switch or Rithum Switch Pro.
There are two Rithum drivers for Control4 (see the bottom of the Control4 plugin release notes to download them).
- "Rithum Switch" driver - Use this if you have no need for the thermostat integration
- "Rithum Switch Thermostat" driver - Use this to take advantage of the thermostat features
2. Add switch IP address
In the IP Network Connections tab, double click on the switch and enter an IP address for it.
NB: you must do this before attempting to setup the Rithum side, or the connection will not be established.
3. Select Lighting Loads
Next to the Lights option, press Select to then select which lighting loads to make visible to that Rithum Switch / Pro. You can simply select all loads, one or more rooms of loads, or select at the load level.
4. Set Scene Names
For each switch, set a number of scenes. Scenes have two Type options:
- Static - The Scene Name will pull through to Rithum as the top label (label 1) on the scene; label 2 will be the zone name that the switch is within in your project
- Toggle - Set a "when off" label and a "when on" label, one of which will pull through to label 1 as necessary. The Scene Name will pull through as label 2.
5. Configure Scene Actions
Your senes can then be used to control almost anything in Control4, either as Button Bindings...
...or within Programming.
6. Rithum Stat
See this guide on Rithum Stat to understand how it works.
The Heat Actions (Heat On / Heat Off) and Cool Actions (On/Off, Low/Mid/High). Can be assigned in various places.
a) In Connections
b) In Programming
c) On the Rithum side as a trigger to any integration, which could be:
i) a relay directly controlled via Rithum (e.g. keep the call for heat outside of Control4)
ii) a Control4 scene. There's no real reason you would do this instead of configure it in Control4, but it's useful to understand for completeness
7. Configure Rithum
You can now configure the Rithum side, just like any other integration. See this guide for more.
