bjacadian Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I need to know if this product is intended to and can work in a 24,000 (living area) home. Also what are the positives and negatives you have seen with C4...Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin L Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 It really comes down to what you want from the system and how its designedI have done Control4 in 15k sq ft homes and wouldn't be scared to do it in a larger home. there are positives and negatives to everythingthe only true negative people constantly complain about is that you can not edit the GUI interface. But the whole point of control4 is every day easy and having a super custom interface takes that away. the positives are control4 makes very affordable products that are rock solid and work great.

bjacadian Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 How is the response time of the products in your large home?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I have seen Control4 utilized in a friends 36,000 square foot home and it works flawlessly.I think at this level hiring the right dealer to make the design and install is more critical than ever. I could be wrong but I would imagine projects that large require a whole additional level of knowledge and expertise. A house that big could easily out stretch the broadcast of a wireless device.

neil12011 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Honestly, that's the thing, it's all in how it's setup. We've seen AMX and Crestron ripped out and replaced with Control4, and I'm sure vice versa has happened. That doesn't mean that AMX and Crestron are infererior, they were just setup and programmed like dookie in these homes. It's always going to be as good as the hands putting it in. I would def' recommend a portfolio of the dealers work, it's your hard earned $, you definately want good work done! And yes, some dealers have done some really sweet, really big installs that work great...because the work they do is top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henniae Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 My HTC is slower than molasses!!!! I sure hope the other models are quicker.The HTC was the first controller C4 produced. The HC-200/HC-300/HC-500/HC-1000 are much faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Get a newer controller and try it out yourself a hc-300 would benefit you a lot. Especially if you want an hd signal. If you really want speed try a 1000. Taxes are coming, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I had an old MC running everything, and I added two HC-300's to the project. Now the MC runs zserver, one HC runs director and the other navigator. The new HD display is nice, and the system is much snappier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
