  1. Well, a 250 will be significantly faster then a 200... An 800 will be significantly faster then an 250. Just depends on what you need. Most likely a 250 will be fine, but if you can afford it, the 800 will be worth it if you plan on expanding further... Just my two cents...
  2. Probably a double NAT... Typical ISP router is a firewall, or at least doing NAT. Then people put another router in front... Causes all kinds of issues... Really should look to see if you can put the ISP modem / gateway device in "Bridge mode" and remove one of the private network hops. Not the real issue, but another issue nontheless... My guess, the TS's and other IP devices were ID'd in Composer Pro using the IP. Will need Composer Pro / Dealer to re-ID, even if you restore the router IP scheme, if these devices were getting DHCP assigned IPs and not static, then they still will get new IPs, just in range and will still need to be ID'd
  3. What isn't working? It is possible that your control4 controllers have hard coded dns? A lot of devices in Composer Pro may be id'd based on their IP, so you might have to re-id them with the new ip's assigned. Details on what isn't working will help track down where the problem is.
  4. FYI, I found that the 200 uses the same power adapter / brick as some cisco devices... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00747XONM ordered this off amazon, hard to beat the price.
  5. The WMC driver for MM from EV uses HTTP / IP requests to control WMC. Works fine. I believe it will also control TMT, but I don't have that installed, so can't tell you for sure.
  6. As someone who is about to buy MyMovies, is there any advantage going through a dealer vs direct? Since I didn't buy a system from a dealer, I don't know?
  7. The T-Stat was wired correctly, after going through 3 different c4 t-stats... One never worked with AC, one had a faulty LCD and the 3rd arrived DOA during install... The issues are the configuration options and how it runs the system. It was functioning properly, just not running the system efficiently. I had done a ton of complex programming to attempt to overcome its short comings, like running the fan for 30 minutes after the AC shut off, etc. However, Nest just does this stuff right out of the box, and also factors outside temp and humidity as well as indoor humidity to determine the best schedule and operation modes. There is no easy way to integrate or program off humidity with a C4 t-stat (yes, 3rd party options do exist, but a Nest does it automatically). And lastly, the appearance of the C4 T-stat looks like it escaped the 80s plastic rectangle invasion... So, after the 3rd T-stat from C4, it was functioning properly most of the time. Occasionally it would sync with the system and still be running its own programming or reset and set the heat to 88F but other than those quirks, it was find. But, ultimately, I'm loving my Nest even without the integration with C4. Love the energy reports each day to see how the system is performing.
  8. I swapped out my C4 t-stat for a Nest and am amazed at the difference. With the c4 stat it ran forever it seemed, and never properly cooled the house. Also, check to see if you have a dehumidifier attached to your HVAC system. I did, and mine was set to run the HVAC system independently of the t-stat and therefor C4 thought it was running the AC but really wasn't. Had to switch the dehimidifier to run only when the fan was engaged... Anyway, I've given up on the C4 t-stats, amazed at the functionality and control you have with Nest, even without C4 integration. Who cares if you have to launch a separate app to mess with the t-stat... No licensing, adding devices, etc. it just works. (as it should)
