Thank you.

I have a first generation either switch or dimmer (I think dimmer) tied to my Garage Lights. I put in a led fixture (2) and I am getting some glow from the lights when in the off position. What specific resistor can I put at the junction box for each fixture to stop the small draw which is illuminating the lights. I like the lights and I don't want to replace the switch/dimmer. Please let me know what resistor can be used and where to get one. Thank you.

I am pricing out three (3) smart shades by Lutron. Serena smart shades to be exact. What is the “Control4” Piece I need to integrate them into my system running a EA5 OS3. I think its a Smart Bridge Pro? What is the Model Number? Lutron of course won’t sell that brand to me. Just the regular smart bridge. I am looking at the battery powered shades. Is all I need this Smart Bridge Pro? Do I need a repeater at all? Rack is in Basement and Shades will be on first floor. Can it be easily added to the system remotely? Anyone interested in selling me the equipment and adding remotely? I can install the shades and the bridge. Just need it added and identified. Thank you.

I have an SR250 that says "Waiting For Network" or "Offline". I tied removing batteries, did not work. Tried Off,#,*,1,5,4,1,5 did not work. Any other thoughts or suggestions?

Since Alexa and Moen are speaking to each other to create the action of turning on your shower (C4 has nothing to do with it) simply create a Trigger in C4 that is identical to what you use to turn on your Husband's shower and program within c4 that trigger to play sirius xm channel 8 in bathroom. That would be my simplistic way to do it.

Well since I have a specific routine, I don't want my shower to come on right away. About a half hour before I get up, the floor heats up; then when I get up about 15 minutes later, the blinds close and lights come on and the sink runs to circulate the hot water (long story). I go in brush, shave and then simply hit a button to trigger a alexa trigger or say Moen turn on Tony Preset one and I am good to go. Some other things we do with Alexa; When you come in through the garage we say alexa kitchen on and all the lights come on. We say Movie night and the blinds close and lights dim then eventually go off. We can say Pause and it will pause wits on the tvand lights will come up, etc. Alexa is really cool in this house.

We control the Shower with Alexa. However we have a couple of other things we do with Alexa and Control4 for the morning shower routine. As I get up the same time everyday, the lights turn on and Howard 100 comes on over the speakers about 10 to15 minutes after my alarm goes off. I do my thing and just tell Alexa to turn on my preset. Good to go. My wife, who's time varies, operates everything via voice with Alexa and routines. We programed Control 4 with "Jean's Routine" so she says that as she walks in the Bathroom and the lights come on and her radio station comes on. The blinds close and then she does her thing until she asks Alexa to turn on her shower preset. So its pretty automated by voice. The kids like the master shower so they each have their own presets and routines for their evening showers. Hope this helped Melissa.

I am not concerned. I do have a battery back up however. We did take precautions also. What we did was when we did the shower we placed the unit in the closet right behind the shower so in inside wall of the shower and closet are back to back. As for tile on the shower wall we did a pattern where the unit is so that if it fails we simply cut out the pattern and now have access to the closet where the 4 water lines are for our 7 shower heads and can simply put manual vaules in and then retile the pattern simularly or diffrent as the case may be.

Mellie: Yes the new U by Moen works well. A lot better than the first generation. I do not have control of the shower with Control4 however, I did put a Amazon Echo Show (the new round one with a video screen) in the Bathroom and control the shower through Alexa. Also, took an old iPhone I had in a drawer and it sits in a charger next to the sink vanity so we can turn on the shower with the phone or by voice with Alexa before we get in.

No I am still in Warranty. It is 3 years old.

We current have a Moen Vertical Spa Shower controller. It has gone on the fritz and Moen will replace the same with a newer model. The problem is the newer model is cloud based (it has an app on a phone) to control the shower while the older model had a remote control that sits on the wall outside of the shower. Both models have a controller within the shower as well. Can anyone come up with a way to control the shower with a T3 touch screen? Moen tells me that the "new" model does not work with the remote control as seen in the picture attached. As you can see I have a touch screen on the wall outside of the shower and would love to simply assign custom buttons for the 4 individuals who use this shower as each of us have our own preferences for temperature and what shower heads get activated. If I can't control the "new" model with the touchscreen I will probably just have Moen send me the older model to replace the one on the fritz. I am attaching photos and links if anyone can help. I am willing to pay you for your time as well.

How much is the Driver?

Cyknight, Thank you for the information. Why put speakers in the ceiling if you can't distribute audio to them instead of using the speakers in the TV? Ugh. So HDMI from cable box to in on the Control4 HDMI Matrix then 3.5MM with RCA male plugs from the Control4 HDMI matrix audio out to the Control4 Audio matrix which then feeds two Control4 Amps which drive the speakers in each room? In connections simply make HDMI "in" cable box x, "audio out" to audio matrix in. Does this stop audio from traveling over the cdmi to the tv automatically or is there something else that has to be done to strip off the audio from the Control4 HDMI matrix? Thank you again Cyknight.

The cable boxes have an HDMI and RBG with Analog Audio. So HDMI into Control4 HDMI Matrix and Analog out from the cable boxes to the Control4 Audi Matrix? This seems it would create more lag?

In our system all audio is routed through a Control4 Audio Matrix and then to two Control4 Amps. If I add the Control4 HDMI Matrix (first generation) and run HDMI from the cable boxes (4 of them)(3 other digital sources) to the Control4 HDMI Matrix In do I just use the audio out (3.5mm jack)(with rca ends) to the audio matrix and turn off the speakers on the tvs? Does the stripping happen automatically? Is there any delays or lag between video and voice doing it this way?
