Wire in a pot switch. That will make it fully dimmable if it's only one channel. But would need one for each channel. If you have more then 1 channel you may invest in their controller.

In able to use a POT (0-10v) switch you will need to have a dimmable driver first. That is the difference in the two units dim vs non-dim and added price for dimmable driver.

Yup gotta have the drivers also. Sorry forgot to list it. You can pick up the pot switches at radioshack for a few bucks.
