Repliak Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Hello, I need some help to decide. I want to extend control4 to another apartment in the same building. As I want to avoid paying the new setup to my current dealer I want to know if I can use account of composer pro with two directors? or I should update my current system (buying some EA1 and T3) to OS3 to add a new site in my current account? The HC800 can support and work properly with two houses? Current setup: I have access to C4 composer pro version: 2.10.6.561784-res 1 HC800-E-B-NR 4 HC250-BL 1 C4-TSWMC7-EG-WH (In-wall 7” Touch screen V2) Also C4-4sight and 1 MyHome site license. I cannot update OS3 as I have HC250 and touch v2. Please, dealers PM if you can quote me the equipment required (I need the dimmers and keypad in 240v version). Thank you very much!

JSTRONG Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 You can use Composer on an unlimited amount of directors. But it sounds like you dont have the training so how are you going to upgrade to os3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Repliak Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 Yes, I only did some programming and installing just one hc250. I think the upgrade is just installing the composer 3.1 which I have and removing the hc250 and touchscreen. But the problem is that I will lost plenty of functions and in some of them there are rs232 connection for somfy curtains. Also, the hc250 will continue being a zigbee server as I will not be integrated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Zigbee use Zigbee to IO or the older Zigbee Extender 3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repliak Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 I dont understand what you mean with something doesnt seem right. I think i will leave the current apartment with 2.10 and the other one with the new setup. What I trying to avoid is the exagerate overcost of the dealers here in Argentina that will x2,5 in the hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Africa C4 user Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 What does not seem right is that if you are not a dealer (or associated with a dealer) you should not legally have access to Pro. If you are a dealer (or associate) then you wouldn’t be asking these questions. Wattsup, c4toys and Neo1738 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repliak Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 I understand all the comments but I would like to DIY as a kind of hobby. The dealer give me access as I have some knowledge of programming scenes and some other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mujtaba.khokhar Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Probably best you speak to your dealer and get some training from them so you’re more clued up on programming and upgrading and how to do it properly. This forum is more for homeowners who need help with their systems and can’t / don’t want to contact their dealers for various reasons.

therockhr Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 There really needs to be a "READ ME FIRST" post when you come to this site. A lot of people come here asking this type of question and get the usual snark (i was guilty last week). Would be easier to just point them to the README post. I think a lot of people come to this site thinking its mostly made up of users instead of dealers. This isnt the place to ask for Composer Pro. eggzlot and Pounce 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree I've always thought there should be a Welcome sub forum or at the top of the General Forum have 2-3 Sticky's that never drop down. One could be a READ ME First, one could be simply titled Do not Ask for DIY/Pro access, whatever. any thoughts/complaints etc can be dumped there not sure who moderates the boards these days though therockhr, mujtaba.khokhar and Amr 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably be best to have one of the sticky threads titled exactly that. I have no problem with the quarterly "why cant we have access to pro" debate. It's tedious but it generates some discussion. The new users coming in who ask about getting Pro just need to be told they are in the wrong place. No reason for any more discussion.

South Africa C4 user Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Here is the sticky... maybe it should be moved from the top of the Software sub-forum to the top of the General sub forum or maybe even to the top of every sub-forum?

If the dealer set you up with Composer Pro (not debating that here as doing that without also requiring training seems sketchy), I would not recommend going around him for stuff you still need him for. He can yank that access if you upset him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
