SachV Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Hi, wondering if anyone has had any success/recommendations with an alternative tablet other than the one sold by Control4 (ie - Lonovo, Samsung, etc)? I need one which works with the intercom, which is the bug bear as it seems not many/any support the intercom feature. Thanks all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get the intercom working but it requires me to go portait with a lower DPI. Sounds like you have had better luck "out of the box". Are you able to make/receive intercome calls with the Control4 app and the tab natively? Or was there any additional configurations? Thanks!
