hattingh Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I have just started the Control4 setup in my media room. Two items are not communicating to the HC800....the HDMI switch - 4 source to the Sim2 projector - and the HC 800 cannot read the code from the remote for the drapes. Which HDMI switch communicates with control4 and is anyone here familiar with Curtain Call CL800 motorized drapes? When I contacted the distributor they mentioned that I need to check if 'Please check if Control 4 has dry contact to other system (I believe they do)?'The company that is doing the programming said they have no answers.....I guess thats Haymarket VA for you.Any help will be appreciated,Thanks everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I seem to have a rookie company over here in Haymarket doing the programming and communicating. I have exactly the same components in Cape Town and there the techs were able to communicate with everything.........and that's in AFRICA!! I tell you, the techs can make all the difference.
