I am building a new house and I need some advice / validation of an intended setup - if the combination of equipment will work with the control4 gear I am getting
Requirements were;
1. Listen to music in bedroom, dining, living, kitchen and outdoors (5 audio zones) - preferrably Apple Itunes (Cloud) Music
2. Watch multiple Video Sources (TV, Foxtel/Cable TV, DVD, Apple TV) in Home Theatre (Projector with full atmos audio), Living Area, Kids Play Room and Main Bedroom (4 Video zones)
3. Video Intercom
4. Security POE Camera Setup (4 external camera, 2 internal)
All of the above controllable via remote/ipad/iphone - Control4 Systems
I've attached a diagram of the setup (without security cameras)
Room by Room Gear;
Home Theatre;
5.1.4 Speakers - mix of B&W and Paradigm
Epson ls10000 Projetor
SR260 Remote
Garage:
5 HEOS Amps to connected to 5 pairs of ceiling speakers in each of the 5 audio zones around the house
Lots of network equipment (48 port switch, 8 port POE switch, wifi router, telco modem)
Oppo DVD Player UDP 203 (connected to hdmi matrix)
Apple TV (connected to hdmi matrix)
Control4 EA3 Controller (Main controller)
Marantz 7011 AVR (with inbulit HEOS with room for extra 2 zones)
Bluestream 4x4 HDMI Matrix - still not sure if I need this or if I should get a control4 version capable of 4k
Living Room
Samsung or LG 75 Inch 4K TV (Still havent decided on brand - not sure which works best with Control4)
Pair Paradigm Speakers connect to HEOS Amp in Garage
Apple TV + Remote
Control4 EA1 + SR260 Remote (this is in addition to EA3 located in garage, idea is for the additional controler is for the remote located in living areas to be close to a control unit)
Front Door
Ring Intercomm
August Doorlock & August Keypad
Kids Toy Room
Old Pioneer Plasma TV - this thing is still a god!
PS4
Pioneer DVD Player
Main Bedroom - pre wired for future expansion
Outdoor Room - Pair Paradigm Speakers connect to HEOS Amp in Garage
Dining Room - Pair Paradigm Speakers connect to HEOS Amp in Garage
Kitchen Room - Pair Paradigm Speakers connect to HEOS Amp in Garage
Now the questions:
1. HEOS or Sonos? What works best with Control4
2. Control4 Audio Matrix ??? Since I need 5 audio zones (currently planned with multiple HEOS amps) would I be better of with control4 audio matrix?
3. Apple Music - Cloud - Itunes Match - how to play with Control4
3. LG or Samsumg TV's? Which best integrates with Control4
4. Does Ring work well with Control4
5. Does August work well with Control4
6. Will Control4 work with PS4
7. Whats the range of the remote - I was told by an integrator that I needed a second ea1 unit at the rear of the house in the living room, one to be close to the remote
