I'm planning on getting a zone controller for my Leviton VizaRF+ dimmers, but I want to clarify a few things first. I'll be using a Leviton VRCPG programmer, if it matters.
1) Can you assign a dimmer switch to more than one zone? For example, can I make a zone of "ALL" dimmers and then have sub-zones, like "KITCHEN", "PATIO", etc? When you turn on "ALL" zone, do the sub-zones, also report as being "ON"? When you turn all sub-zones off individually, does the "ALL" zone show that its now "OFF"?
2) What happens when a zone is "ON", and then I turn off one of the dimmers locally? If I go back to the zone controller switch, will it turn the remaining zone lights "OFF"? What if I turn off all the dimmers manually? Will then zone controller then switch the zone to "OFF" state", or does it still think the zone is "ON"
3) Can you mix a zone with dimmers and switches? If so, what happens when you use the dimmer switch on the mixed zone? Is it correct that the dimmers will still dim/increase, but switches stay "ON"?
4) Can you set the fade time on a zone to instant on and instant off, or does the fade time match what is programmed in the dimmer switch, when using the zone? For example, can you have some lights in a zone fade on/off, while others are instant on/off?
Any other quirks I might have not thought of? Thanks.
