Nupe1911 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Please give me your thoughts if I should go with the Control 4 to replace my Harmony Elite set-up. Would I need to buy a new equipment that fits with Control 4? The remote would be for my ManCave but want to control alarm system, thermostat, etc also. Below is a list of my equipment Devices Receiver: Marantz SR6012 (in Mancave) Projector: Epson 5040UB (in Mancave) Sony UBP-X800 4k Player (in Mancave) PS4 (in Manacave) Xbox One S (in Mancave) Apple Tv (in Mancave) DirecTV (in Mancave) Fire Stick (in Mancave) Sonos Speakers Hue Bulbs (in Mancave) Ring Cams Vivint Alarm American Standard AZONE950AC52ZAA (THERMOSTAT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic30101 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 The ring cameras will likely need a PC running blue iris, you will need to purchase a 3rd party driver for the thermostat, doubt the vivint alarm plays nice with others but you will need to tell us the model if there is a chance it can be used. Everything else no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Lowe Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 the ring app is really good so it would be better to use for the camera view any how. but you can use motion and doorbell press with the ring so you can use that for programming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else no problem Thanks for feedback, given what I am trying to do. About how much for a "starter kit", etc? What is a 3rd party driver for the Thermostat?

sonic30101 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Hard to say without walking the space but an EA3, sr260, install and programing is probably 1800-2000+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
