  1. I've never felt the need for a driver with my system. At least on my system, if it doesn't run when it is directed to by the moisture sensor built into the system it will never catch up. It's not a system I think I will be successful trying to micromanage.
  2. Pretty sure he is talking about Home Assistant, not C4?
  3. That is the old module, Bullfrog has used Gecko for a few years. That's the one I need.
  4. I get that, but the same driver author started this thread over a year ago, it also sounded like it was close, and nothing since. Since this thread is more active I thought maybe I'd get lucky and get an update.
  5. What happened to the Bullfrog Spa / Gecko driver?

    Good "Outdoor" TV

    Fair enough. Now how do I handle the HDMI extender? No real point in having one been outdoor rated and the other not being outdoor rated. Would prefer to avoid a full TV enclosure.

    Good "Outdoor" TV

    Also, what's the latest on HDMI extenders for outdoor use? I am probably within a year or two of replacing my video matrix.

    Good "Outdoor" TV

    Since this topic came up--I had an integrator tell me that if you have an issue with a TV that is not outdoor rated, and there is a loss, insurance might not cover it. Has anybody heard that before? I trust the guy to not be blowing smoke about that, but not enough that I am that worried about a TV catching fire.
  9. Yes, I will keep them as long as I can. I do remember having issues with upgrades with one of my IOX numerous times in the 2.x era, so I don't have that issue any more at least. So they are generally solid.
  10. Dealer talked me into CA10 and two Core5. I hope this is my last upgrade for a long, long time. He had a good point about how long my IOX are in the tooth and really how much longer will they be supported (or with their age, give me issues).
  11. Both racks include IO Extenders already, and the number of concurrent streams should be relatively low (2-3 at most?). Main central rack (best for Zigbee?) will have the CA10 and the Core 5/Core 3 Theater rack would be better with a Core 5 for aesthetics, but I would think I could make a Core 3 work. Are you saying Core 5 is going to be noticably preferable to Core 3 for Zigbee by itself, or only for better audio capabilities? Just thinking about the price difference to go with two Core 5 vs two Core 3. That's going to add up.
  12. I am, but there shouldn't be very many concurrent sources...I mean, I had HC250s and HC300s that I lost as I moved to OS3 and was down to one HC800 in my main rack, and everything is running properly now. I would hope the audio capabilities of a Core 3 would at least be comparable to a HC800.
  13. Sorry for jumping in on an older thread, Is there anything you see now or on the horizon that would drive you towards a Core 5 instead of a Core 3 for optimal performance of newer drivers like you describe? I'm in a position where I'm going to be upgrading and adding a CA-10, where I previously had two HC800s. Because of the size of my Zigbee mesh, I need to decide if I am buying two Core 5s, a Core 3 and a Core 5, or two Core 3s. I'm trying to avoid the cost of the Core 5 since these are just going to be secondary processors to the CA-10, and I think realistically with the size and complexity of my project, a CA-10 may be underutilized as is.
  14. Found a match for the original on Ebay, connected everything back up and 3 zones were silent. They were all zones that went into my AVRs. Very odd. Looked a little closer and those 3 zones, and only those 3, had gotten muted/infinite -dB. Adjusted them on the screen and everything seems good now.
  15. That was not my experience when I needed a rescue about 10 years ago. And this was going through Control4. They basically found one dealer to take it. I am an hour away from a metro area though...
  16. What happens to customers when the original dealer disappears? Most dealers don't seem to want to take on rescues, which is basically what the former customers become...
  17. Ok, well if my recollection is correct, switching a controller with them was a nightmare. And that was when they were still alive.
  18. Luckily, I only have the first party Rachio driver from Blackwire. Control4 third party drivers have always been a shitshow as far as licenses go.
  19. Interested. Just got this setup today. How do we get in line?
  20. There is company right there in Austin I can refer you to if needed. PM me.
  21. So is the consensus then that if the plastic isn't defective, there is no reason to need to do a maintenance schedule of protective coating? Even with the environmental conditions I described?
  22. Nowhere near the ocean. But as we see from Ryan's response (this admitted manufacturing defect was news to me), it isn't normal.
  23. I appreciate the response Ryan noting that. I will check with them, even though I already replaced it. When I complained on the forum many years ago about this, it must not have been a known issue at the time, because of the responses I remember you specifically saying that this wouldn't happen. Maybe you worded it differently, I actually tried to find the old thread before I posted this and I couldn't. I thought about trying headlight polishing kit, but I had plastic conditioning products that I used and this was the best I could do with them.
  24. Besides all the mechanical and firmware issues with Yale locks, I'm not happy at all with durability. This is the one I finally replaced after putting up with the glitches for years (replacement Yale deadbolts were on backorder with Control4 for probably 3 months). This one had the dreaded issue where it would not register manual deadbolt changes, so it didn't know if it was locked or unlocked unless it was done programmatically. My house faces west, so it was getting hammered by the afternoon sun. Yes, it was about 10 years old, but it looked bad after only a couple of years. This was after I tried to polish the plastic a few months ago, it was much cloudier before I did that. The metal didn't fair well either. Does anybody have any good suggestions for something to regularly maintain these with to prevent this from happening again? I think car wax might work, but I need to use something that isn't abrasive at all.
