I also would utilize that feature

I thought everybody shared in corporate America

https://www.plex.tv/ Here it talks about universal search.

I believe they are working on backend deals with services to get the data and selling companies like Netflix on more exposure for their content.

I feel like Plex is trying to accomplish what you're talking about. If you search in Plex it will show you all streaming services to watch that show on but it doesn't aggregate all guides from all sources... Yet.

Thanks again everyone, I think I'll try some baluns first. Cheap option if it fails. Merry Christmas!

@msgreenf if you believe the hype, vinyl has better sound quality than cd's.

All awesome suggestions. I was worried that audio over baluns would lose quality. In this scenario I feel like it would be overkill to have an amp and speakers for the turntable beside the speakers already set up in the room. I'll look into the sonos setup and baluns. @RAV I'm looking for mid-grade turntable. My receiver is a marantz, not that it matters really.

Hi all, Currently I have a centralized rack which doesn't make it conducive to have a record player close to either of my receivers (one for game/theater room and one for living/main room). Is there a way to put the record player in the room and run a connection to the rack and maintain high quality audio? I have not currently bought a player yet (birthday gift for my wife). Klipsch rf-82's bi-amped in living room, cables run to basement rack. I have a spare cat6 and sewell 25m fiber optic hdmi cable in place. The game/theater room I can run any cables needed if I need to put it down there. Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas everyone!

Thank you Sir

@Amr does this screen work on the SR250 as well?

Not that I'm aware of. There is a sleep number app. I know that some people over in smart things have used the API for programming so wasn't sure if someone on the c4 side had worked with it yet.

Has anyone used the sleep number bed api in control4? Presence, bed settings?

True, I wanted to go that route but it's been advantages to just pull the connector off and put the wand back on. When you install the somfy, the tilt mechanism is completely removed. You are definitely going through the same thought process I did. Lol

Yes, the window is under a porch so I still have to charge it every now and then.

The have the firmware available so you can load it on your own raspberry (might even work on a pico).

Here is the raspberry pi (soma connect) that gives google/Alexa control and would be necessary to add to control4. You only need one for the house unless the windows are too far from the controller.

This is the battery, solar charger and controller installed.

I have Soma Smart tilt and there is a Chowmain driver to integrate. @alanchow

Sounds good, then is there a way to program a check if tv is on, if not power off room. This way it would shut off the receiver?

So I'm having some difficulty keeping my kids locked out of the living room TV when we don't want them on there. I currently have an experience button set up in a separate room that is only visible on our phones but somehow my six-year-old is getting past it. Not sure if it has to do with the Samsung TV and the 30 second delay between commands but I think I've got something wrong in my programming that it's not keeping the TV locked down. It's currently run through a receiver for all inputs. It's currently programmed so that if the video source changes it waits 5 seconds and then Powers down the room. I honestly don't care if they listen to audio but I need to stop them from watching TV. The reason I suspect the Samsung TV is the issue is because everything seemed to work fine with the LG TV that was there before. Any advice or help would be appreciated

You'll have to check with the programmers but I believe you would need a "ghost" room that is mapped to the same hardware but you then limit what that "kid's version" of that room has access to when you choose what that navigator has access to. Then if you wanted to there is an access agent to lock out access to other rooms with a pin #

Just an update, I crimped a new cat5 connector on at the tv and I found that the wifi was still turned on at the tv so I turned that off. One of those seemed to have fixed it. It must have been wiggled too much when I switched the tv a couple of months ago. Thanks for all the ideas, it helped me look in other directions. Now I just need to sort out issues for another thread, lol.
