    It's out, some new features, supports dimmable LED's via leading or trailing edge dimming, no PWM from the looks, at least based on my reading. (although I'm not technical enough to know if PWM is really a big deal). Upgradable firmware, probably using the USB-C connector on the front. Also it's moved to the Spacelogic white and green colour scheme.

    Great news is 8 channels in one unit (also a 4 channel version available), so some board space savings.

    I notice there's new software to setup these devices...can they still be done in toolkit or is the idea to eventually move all devices to this new space logic software? Seems kind of clunky to need to separate bits of software to setup an installation.

    You can still program the basics like Channel Addressing with CBus Toolkit 1.17, which I have programmed one already, but to use any of the more advanced features you will need to use the Spacelogic Commission Software V2.0 which I have not used to program one yet. I think the plan is to move programming of the whole CBus over to the Spacelogic Commission in the future.

    I am interested to see how these new dimmers perform over time over the previous Universal and 4 & 8ch Trailing Edge Dimmers with LED Lights.
