2.8.10 Update from Release 1.7.4 to 1.8.2
Use Control4
®
Composer Pro to update your system from Release 1.7.4 to Release 1.8.2. Detailed
instructions about how to update from Composer Pro Release 1.7.4 to 1.8.2 are not included in this
document. For those instructions, refer to the Composer Pro Software Update Instructions - Release
1.7.4 to 1.8.2 on the Control4 Knowledgebase. The document provides general steps, terms and
concepts, and what to prepare for prior to performing the update. It then describes the steps for the
update.
Ensure that Composer Pro and Director are using the same version of 1.7.4, and that all devices are
identified on the network before starting this update.
2.8.10.1 What’s New in the Update?
Release 1.8.x introduces support for ZigBee Pro 1.1. During the update from 1.7.4 to 1.8.2 all ZigBee
devices will be updated to run on the ZigBee Pro stack which requires a complete replacement of the
firmware on all devices. This enhancement allows Control4 to operate with other ZigBee Pro-
compliant devices which opens up a whole world of new devices that are compatible with the Control4
system.
2.8.10.2 Highlights of the Update
1. New terms such as ZigBee Access Point (ZAP), ZigBee Pro, MiniApp, and EmberNet are
introduced and described.
2. Two (2) stages of upgrade occur for MiniApps (Dimmers, Switches, Keypads, and outlet
modules): the ZigBee Pro stack is installed, and then all the devices must be joined to the
network. When updating the MiniApps, special LEDs on the devices indicate their status.
3. Products not supported with ZigBee Pro at this time:
• System Remote Control V1 and V2
• LCD Keypad (use Ethernet)
• Contact/Relay Extender (use Ethernet)
• Audio products (Audio Matrix Switch, Multi-Channel Amplifier, and Multi-Tuner). Use
Ethernet.
4. The Network Tools screen (formerly Network Status) has a new tab for EmberNet Upgrade. This
shows all of the devices on the current network that haven’t been updated to ZigBee Pro.
2.8.11 Update to Release 1.8.2
Use the Control4
®
Composer Pro Update Manager to update to Release 1.8.2.
IMPORTANT: To update to Release 1.8.2, the Control4 system first must be updated to Release
1.7.4. After that, follow the instructions in the Composer Pro Software Release Update Instructions -

Knowledgebase.
