I haven't had much luck sourcing one online in the past. Might call Carrier's sales number.

I found the product for sale here: http://mybayareaservices.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=383

The problem is verifying whether or not it is the RS-232 model, WiFi model, or ethernet model.  They all have the same model number.

It looks like this is the phone number for Bryant ( 1-800-428-4326 ), I may call them tomorrow.

Can one of the dealers contact Control4 and get the model number off the unit they used to make the driver?  Can they tell us where THEY got the unit?

This is crazy....

That's an Ethernet version. Isn't the driver control4 wrote a serial driver over RS-232?

This is what I'm saying, there is no good information on this thing.

Alan, do you know what I need to buy to make this work?  Do you know where I can buy it?

Thanks...

Well, these escapades make me want to rip this system out and get something with better support.

I am currently on the phone with Bryant, and according to them what I am asking about doesn't exist, and they have no way to reference anything by part number. 

Then the lady asked me why I am trying to "fix my furnace" by myself and not using an authorized technician.  When I finally made her understand I was trying to buy something but needed confirmation on what I was going to order, she said she needs to tranfser me to the remote access department and wants the serial number off my remote access module - the one that I am trying to buy.

I have never had such a hard time buying something...Control4 created the driver "due to dealer demand" which would lead me to believe there is someone somewhere that has installed this thing.  Can one of you dealers do me a favor and ask this question on the dealer forums?

Okay guys...I found a local distributor that has three of these things in stock.  They are priced right at $800, but I can get the price down to about $750 if I buy two, and $725 if I buy three.

Is anyone else interested in one of these?

No, the knucklehead must have spelled my email address wrong or something because it never showed up.

He did confirm the part number to buy was SYSTXBBSAM01, and that includes an RS-232 port.

I assume it will come with installation documentation, but I think it is probably pretty straightforward.

I just found this: http://www.xpedio.carrier.com/idc/group … 574-25.pdf

I am on the phone right now trying to determine whether that includes the 24V transformer or not.

Great.  I assume there had to be some sort of demand for this integration for Control4 to write a driver.  Can any dealers chime in with implementation results?

This is what surprises me.  People at Control4 told me there was demand for this product, and that is why they finally decided to write a driver.  I know that on the dealer forums there is chatter about this (at least that's what I heard from C4).  I wish someone would share a little information about it.

That would certainly help reduce the price.

Damn...the guy was wrong...it doesn't have any of that stuff and is just the System Access Module.

The SYSTXBBSAM01 is a module that provides the Bryant Evolution/Carrier Infinity Zone System with an RS-232 port so it can communicate with Control4.  You need one of the zone systems already, this is just the module that will provide communication between the two systems.

...I do, however, remain confused by the fact that SYSTXBBSAM01 *appears* to be a regular Infinity/Evolution thermostat... I would have expected a SAM to be some boring little box that gets connected down by the heat pumps / air handlers where the rest of the brains of the system presumably are!  Hmmmm...
