I’ve got a shit ton of these in Snow White. Doesn’t look like what you have there though...

Buy a remote. No need to use an interface to control an identical interface.

Interesting - I didn’t see any options in my cursory glance inside the Shortcuts app. Homekit integration - there’s a device you can buy (along with a driver) from Varietas Software that gets you there. Dudes name is Joshua Presnal. Search here and you’ll find it. I probably butchered both his last name and his company name. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It doesn’t look like the Control4 app is available from within the shortcuts app, but Home is. If you’ve got HomeKit integration you could execute a shortcut that way.

I use something real similar to this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HF2SGHX/ref=vp_d_pb_TIER2_sessmp_lp_B00CXKOEQ6_pd?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07HF2SGHX&pd_rd_w=Exg4L&pf_rd_p=b9c8a149-8025-4ee4-a81e-c3b28f174075&pf_rd_r=2a491159-2653-4dee-a0d0-77718a2f79c4&pd_rd_r=2a491159-2653-4dee-a0d0-77718a2f79c4&pd_rd_wg=yla96 It takes about 0.5 seconds to strip a wire.

Why not just use Shairbridge?

I have a lot more than 26 speakers in my house, and Control4 controls it all.

Everything can be done with a myriad of apps. Control4 brings it all together. 1 - Control4 can be controlled by the big voice providers (Google, Alexa, etc...) 2 - ... 3 - not sure why anyone would clutter up shelves and floor space with speakers. Put them in the ceiling - you’ll never want to move them, they’re less expensive, they look and function better. 4 - I love video distribution. You don’t NEED it until you’ve had it. You will need an integrator.

When did you start working for August?

Curious - why a Pandora driver for each room?

Perfect. It should be here tomorrow and I'm excited to get it all setup!

Of course they have an API. Every application runs on API’s. They don’t have it documented and won’t give you access to it.

Thanks Cyknight. To clarify, I'm going to add one of these: https://www.control4.com/docs/product/triad-one/triad-data-sheet/english/latest/triad-one-triad-data-sheet-rev-b.pdf That is going to power a DVC that I'm putting as a surface mount on the outside of my pool bath. The rest of the zones are powered straight off the hardwired, whole home audio system. The way it is right now, if you want to hear it in the actual water, you need to CRANK the volume on the deck. I just want to add this wall mount DVC so that I can hear the music in the pool. It needs to be in-sync though. Since it's a streaming amp I figured it might introduce delay.

Use the Snapshot driver to revert the video source back to what it was before.

Yeah, I agree. But I’ve not bought the August because (at least in photos) it looks like a big thing bolted to the door. Level accomplishes what I want which is no change in aesthetic but can be programmatically locker/unlocked. Once they have an API I’ll be buying them.
