  1. I’m looking for a c4 rack Mount ears for audio matrix. C4-16S2-E-B Message me if you have one for sale. Thank You!
  2. Thanks! I'll try getting two of those and see if that fixes the issue.
  3. I figured I would ask this in this thread versus starting a new one. Previously I have had my garage door with sensors and hardwired to my C4 i/o extender (wire from door panel to i/o extender and sensors back too). I recently got new Liftmaster onQ doors and can't get the C4 app to open/close the door. Any ideas? Thanks!
  4. I haven't seen anything yet....even the Lutron support sites ask over and over... Still Waiting...
  5. Heres my take, but please realize that C4 is a dealer platform so having a dealer you can rely on, helps in the overall experience. Getting multiple quotes is good. Networking Ruckus is excellent and I have had no problems for years; prior had issues with Araknis but if the dealer is supporting, shouldn't have any issues. The unifi debate I won't get into but realize C4 is dealer based so go with something that is recommended so its easily supported (unless your supporting it yourself). Surveillance Cameras are all over but Luma works well. I prefer a separate app although many can be integrated into C4 for programming which is helpful (per your request). Distributed Audio Your solution is fine as long as its background music; You can spend alot of money on audio, but from your statement of expectations, is valid and it works. Security Utilize what the dealer wishes to recommened and view demo with dealer; You and your wife's expectations are easily met, but having it integrated correctly helps with the process and support. Lighting C4 or Lutron work great; You can reduce wall clutter with keypads etc... Again, planning with a dealer is key esepecially during construction. Locks Do you have a style that works with the home; that would determine which brand you might choose; Your list is accurate, but its getting them that sometimes a pain (supply chain). HVAC Both work well; Your correct on looks for Aprilaire but Ecobee works fine too. Both integrate fine. Control, Rack I would recommend you go with one of the NEW controllers to be released if your planning now (core); run Cat-6 everywhere you can; You didn't discuss distributed video; WattBox, UPS, etc...is just good practice and easily manageable if you have issues (dealer can help via remote). https://www.strata-gee.com/snap-one-unleashes-an-array-of-new-products-at-virtual-partner-summit/
  6. I haven't seen anything concerning the release...still waiting myself.
  7. When I moved away from the GE Concord, I just removed everything and bought new (ClareVision). For me it wasn't that expensive to just start over and get something that looked better while also integrated into C4 but its all relative. I don't program off of sensors for the alarm system so I wasn't losing anything by starting over although you can still utilize Interlogix sensors. When I first built my home and put in GE sensors everywhere I thought I would utilize C4 more in that regard, but ended up not; guess wishful thinking. I only use C4 integration with my alarm system for convenience and on/off progamming.
  8. Given supply chain, it might be awhile when these arrive but I'm glad C4 is moving forward. Now we wait for specs, prices, release...
  9. Looking for C4-THERM. PM me. Thank you!
  10. Thanks for the quick feedback. I was a little suprised that my Denon went out but given that family room tv is on nearly 24/7/365 guess it had to die sometime! I'm glad alot of receivers now use IP vs rs232 which I'm currently using.
  11. Looking for feedback on AV receivers that integrate with C4. Currently have 3 Denons using rs232 that are 8 years old and time to replace. Had one go back already over holidays (kids and wife not happY!). What is everyone using now? Denon, Yamaha, Marantz, etc... We don't use any of the stuff like Alexa, multiple zones, etc. on the receiver that most come with but it seems your forced to get all these bells/whistles. Any suggestions or what to stay away from?
  12. Yeah, figured but wanted to ask... Also, as zaphod asked, anyone know when the S-1 will come out?
  13. Wander if new products will utilize the 'Snap One' name not Control 4?
  14. I saw that Apple will have an open API for Siri integration and was thinking the same thing....we shall wait and see... I don't hold my breathe given it seems C4 is slow on jumping on that bandwagon and has Alexa integrated pretty well. Hopefully they will though.
  15. Not a doorbell in a sense that doesn't have a camera and button (comparing to doorbird, ring, chime, etc.). Wall control is their marketing. Would be great if they put a camera with it for streaming in a doorbell sense that I'm using it.
  16. Has anyone tried Alisse from Lutron? I know it doesn't have a camera to be used as a doorbell but the Lutron stuff just works and always does. https://www.lutron.com/en-US/Products/Pages/Components/alisse/overview.aspx Maybe sometime they will include a streamable camera.
  17. Now that Flash is gone and the application to interact with C4 on a PC (not mac) is no longer available, any ideas on C4 making PC app? With Zoom so prevelant in the workplace and people spending more time in their home office, one would think they would have been ahead of the game not behind, but no replacement exists does it? On a mac, you can use the C4 app, on a PC your out of luck. I know their are some ways around it, but just having a simple app to control all the automation makes sense (and not composer home or pro).
  18. I have the all brass fixtures and love them. A lot of options too. Easy install.
  19. I have Rachio and it works great with C4. As for landscape lighting, I have a volt transformer and use their LED bulbs and lighting with a Lutron RadioRA2 switch (https://www.voltlighting.com/). to turn it on at dusk and off at dawn. Simple and reliable.
  20. It’s C4, stand corrected. You can get all specs and installation at: https://www.wall-smart.com/c4t4iw10.html https://www.wall-smart.com/ws-for-control4.html
  21. I have Rukus 520's in the attic, on my ceiling 2nd floor and basement. I'm Pittsburgh and haven't had an issue for 3 years (have the 520's). No problems; great coverage; rock solid.
  22. I'm wandering if you need to have unifi cameras (or cloudkey) to use this device? What if your using another brand of cameras but wish such a multiview display to be shown through HDMI if you plug into your POE switch that has all your POE cameras. Does this work?
