Exactly. The air gap is there to kill current up to the load / lights. You most likely caused a small short of some sort for a fraction of a second. Just enough for the switch to protect itself and you.

Hello Faught, I am sorry to hear that this is how you feel about your system. PM sent.

What these boys said.

CA-10 covers the largest of projects, however, the EA-5 would do nicely for what you have described in your OP.

Simply put, Control4 will do you well. for both homes. remote dealer could help, but an established and reputable dealer is your best bet. Contact Control4 Directly and ask to speak to your area Sales Manager to get a few names of dealers.

In my experience the HC800 outperforms the EA-3. And I would simply put the project on that. Happy Automating!!

5. I know music cannot be controlled through this driver currently, but are there any established workarounds that work cleanly? (i.e. creating a dummy light called "Kitchen Music" and then programming music to turn on/off against the state of that light?) Much appreciate any input! I have in the past created (dummy) switches. Name them the name of a device. Create two switches in C4 to get started. A Switch called “Living Mary favourite tunes” and also Then create a switch called “Living Media Off”. I would then create a script or macro that would start at the light. When light on, select Mary’s Spotify in living room. As well as turn on the “Living Media Room Off” switch. and then would say “Hey Siri, turn on Living Mary favourite tunes”. And then a script or macro when “Living Media Room Off” is turn off, turn off living room and turn of any other “media “ virtual switches in the room. Happy Automating!!

The remote that is soldered and connected to a relay is very reliable. Basic wireless communication. Will not give you notification that the gate is open or closed though. Happy Automating!!
