AtlantaSteven Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Hi, I'm considering the T3 in-wall touchscreen. The control4 website says that it need to get AC power from the wall and also suggests hard-wired Ethernet. While I have hadwired my entire house I didn't think, when we built the house, of wiring for the touch screen. It would be too complicated to do now. Does wifi work well with this? My wifi router in closet about 10 feet from where this touchscree would be located. Any issues with this setup? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d1amund Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Wifi is usually fine but you'll still need power yes. Either AC or PoE (wont need wifi if doing PoE). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Well I've used PoE without network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlantaSteven Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 Another related question about the touchscreen. Can the screen be locked so that a child can't just walk over to it and start pressing on-screen icons/buttons? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlantaSteven Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 Thanks for the responses. Two questions: 1) For the person who replied "Yes", Can you explain how this is done? 2) For the person who mentioned "access agent", what is that and what does it do? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks You can "lock out" screen with a blank pop up agent. For more on this check out this old thread. Password Protection On Touchpanels Do an automated pop-up, no timeout, no 'ok' button. Then program a custom button (still usualbe on phones) or a keypad button press (I've done a triple press on a button underneath the screen also) to clear the pop-up. https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ec4forums%2Ecom%2Findex%2Ephp%3F%2Ftopic%2F10097-Password-Protection-On-Touchpanels%2Fpage__view__findpost__p__185971&share_tid=10097&share_fid=76380&share_type=t&share_pid=185971 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_Willis Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Pretty easy to get power if your mounting it anywhere near a light switch in the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Pretty easy to get power if your mounting it anywhere near a light switch in the house. Or above an outlet... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
