seth_j Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 and the U2.. from what I remember those are RF only remotes so you're going to need a RF processor of some type to go along.Control4 stopped using the IR input on the new HC800 (and I think HC250) so you'll need an older HC controller if you want to use the IR masks. Otherwise you'll have to create a driverworks driver to accept IP commands if you use one of RTI's IP processors.. I haven't touched RTI in years so I don't even know how to go about programming IP commands to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFUG Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 ^^U2 seems overkill for a shower but I see your point here- not worth all the hassle just for a little music. Also, did not know IR-IN was struck from the new controllers. Mini Remotes may develop problems with the humidity in the shower. I've also noticed that the big button on these things often gets stuck in the depressed position. Great for battery life... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekdoc Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 An iPod touch in a waterproof case will work pretty well if you have the My Home license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFUG Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 ^That's not a bad solution- lower cost than the RTI kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seth_j Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 That's a great idea! Lower cost than the RTI gear for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekdoc Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I also use it around our pool so I don't have to worry about my TS getting wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesterwilson Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Thanks guys, I like the itouch idea the most as I could use the native C4 interface, but charging would be an issue.I would definitely pay $$$$ if C4 every made a waterproof touch screen.

chesterwilson Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Integration with the Kohler digital system would be very cool also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many bathroom mirror tvs now are waterproof and are mounted in a shower. Adding a touchscreen to the interface removes the remote issue....http://www.ad-notam.com/products/DYO.asp?DYOID=12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turls Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Integration with the Kohler digital system would be very cool also.You mean if the Kohler system could control C4? Because I didn't see the point of Kohler's system for actually playing music if you had C4's whole house setup. Just another reason I didn't miss Kohler in going with Moen's solution instead. Now if my plumber would get to work and finish the shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New touchscreen interface that would install in the shower, turn on and off the various kohler parts and handle lighting, audio, and perhaps video.

turls Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Ok, I could see the other parts besides audio, but the Kohler system would seem to be quite limited on audio vs. C4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesterwilson Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 Ok, I could see the other parts besides audio, but the Kohler system would seem to be quite limited on audio vs. C4.Right, C4 would control the plumbing aspects of the Kohler, and the rest would be all C4 based (audio, lighting, video, etc). Intercom would be pretty cool also, it would save a lot of screaming for soap, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Intercom would be pretty cool also, it would save a lot of screaming for soap, lol.For obvious reasons, video intercom would probably not be available in a scenario such as this one...RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesterwilson Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 LOL.But one way video from the new door station would be nice. I hate it when the doorbell rings and I'm in the shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettB0727 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Reminds me of when I use to stick my Bose Sounddock remote in a ziplock bag. It worked pretty well! :-) Might have to go with the gallon bags for the SR250 though. :-p BTW those mirrors look badass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HouseLogix Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 As mentioned above, we have seen the CA Mini remotes used in the shower for just this need. I would imagine it would work for quite some time as long as you didn’t douse it in water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
