Adding a secondary controller

[Lilysdad]

Hello all, I have a question. I have  hc-250 in my daughters room  and a EA-1 in my rack of equipment. My question is what is the easiest way to add my EA1 to her HC-250 with out reprogramming everything. 

I also have a 4zone Control4 amp connected to her room and a 6 button keypad so she can listen to music. The amp is in my rack. Just use a balun to connect it so she doesn't play with it.

What is missing in lily's room that you want from the ea1?

[Lilysdad]

I'd like to be able to control her stuff. Like shut things down and also use the the amp for pool speakers.

the only way I can shit it off now is with a table top. But it's a pain to connect to her controller then back to mine.

So you have two separate control4 systems in the same home?

The ea1 can't be a master it needs to be a slave to the 250, but you can add that as a secondary controller and second or third room (kids / rack / outside)

Then it would all operate from the same app, Sr 260 etc

Yes I have two separate systems. I understand the EA1 can't be a primary controller, it can be a secondary controller.

I would buy an ea3 and tie everything together into 1 system

So add it to daughters system as a Secondary

Unfortunately all programming tied to the ea1 will need to be redone.

Did a c4 dealer recommend / install this??? 

 

250 if updated should be able to run an EA1. Get them back out to fix it or get a new dealer and send bill to old one for sucking

No I'm new at doing control4.  I work for a big control4 dealer and got a EA1 from work to learn on and train with. The HC250 I got was from a customer that just bought a home we did a few years ago and didn't want it and told me to take it or throw it away. All he wanted in his home was Sonos Amps

I did purchase a EA3 from work last week and should be here this week I hope. 

I have more training since I originally posting this so when I get my ea3 it will be my master and the Ea1 will be a secondary for my daughters room and HC250 will be my third room.
