Using Find and Replace

The Find and Replace programming feature lets you find one device already programmed and replace it with another. 

Example: You want a button on your Configurable Keypad to turn on all the outside dimmers in your Control4 system. Currently, the button is programmed to turn on all the lights in your garage. Use the Find and Replace programming option to replace the lights with outdoor lights in your programming. 

To program using the Find and Replace feature:

  1. Start Composer Pro and connect to a Director.
  1. Click Programming.
  2. In the Script pane, right-click and select Find and Replace. A Find and Replace dialog appears.

  1. Replace the programming device object with the one you want.

    2. Find: Family > Left Dimmer

    Replace with: Theater > Theater Dimmer

  1. Click Replace. The statement in the Script pane changes to the replacement script.

  1. Repeat for each line in the Script pane.

    2. Find: Family > Middle Dimmer

    Replace with: Bedroom > Bedroom Dimmer

    Find: Family > Right Dimmer

    Replace with: Front > Front Dimmer 

When you complete this process, the script reflects that you have changed all the lights in your Control4 system to dimmers.
