Yes, but how many different networks pop up when you search for Wifi signals? Your R650s are WIFI 6, so how does that separate itself from the rest?

But the 710 "would" be better than the 610, right? Its confusing in some sense. I was strongly considering the Unifi HD too and this is 4x4. I feel if I went with the 610 which is 3x3, wouldnt that be a lesser model? I do like the looks a bot more of the Unifi HD, but all on here seem to agree that the best is Ruckus?

710 is preferred over the 610 I'm guessing. Would love to get the r750s, but way too expensive

Nevermind, looks like they are sold out. So, the consensus that I'm gathering here is that Ruckus is the best in anyone's mind. Do you think the best solution would be to get Ruckus 610 or 710 models and have them flashed to the unleashed software?

Where is this for sale at?

I was just told that the Araknis APs were junk?

Also, the Ruckus 710 looks to be comparable in specs to the Araknis 810 and the Unifi AP HD. Cosmetics, maybe the best lookingis the Unifi and the Ruckus is the least, but that is matter of opinion. Are all of these going to perform the same?

Say I skip WIFI 6 for now, comparing the Araknis 810 series vs. the Unifi AP HD, they both seem about equal in comparison. Is there anything I'm missing?

All, So looking for suggestions in the best access points (POE) as far as speed and reliability. Also wanting to know opinions on if WIFI 6 is a must. These will be plugged into all Araknis network gear with an Araknis 310 series router. Was told the Araknis APs are not great. Didn’t want to spend the money on the Ruckus r650 or r750 because I need five of them. And actually one outdoor one too. Was also considering the Unifi HD but it isn’t WiFi 6. Their solution is the new Unifi 6 Long Range, but it doesn’t have the speeds that the HD has. Very open to any brand. Thoughts?

All. Ok, so this is sort of a dumb question, but I have multiple motion sensors positioned to strictly trigger lighting events. These are wired back to the control room. If these are not being ran through the alarm system, where would they be wired to? I have one EA5 and about seven of these motion sensors that are non security related. I'm assuming I need a C4-IOXV2, but wanted to verify. Thanks

Also considering Pakedge. How do you all think the Arkanis 310 SW 24 POE compares to the Pakedge SX-24P?

I think it say up to 30 watts per port, and 15 watts per port with all ports simultaneously Why dont you like mesh networks? In my mind i makes the most sense as the strongest signal is always used. I definitely dont want 5 access points to pop up when searching for WIFI. I would prefer one show up that everyone uses to sign into. Is there a way to do this without doing mesh? What is the advantage? This home is 120 feet across. The media room is on one end and the master is on the other end. If the master is the network that lets say my phone automatically signs into, when I'm way on the other side in the media room, I dont want my phone to have to struggle with signal because its trying to sign on to the master?

After doing a bit of research, I'm think of doing Arkanis 310 24 port POE switches, three of them optically linked together. The reason for this is Arkanis doesnt offer a 48 port switch with rear ports. I'm going to rack mount so I need rear ports. For Access points, I think I will use one long range Unifi Wifi6 and then have the rest be Unifi Lite Wifi6. I would set them up into a mesh so that automatically the one with the strongest signal is used. I dont think I will use a midspan, hence the three 24 port switches. I have been convinced that there are no delays or issues when linking three switches together. What do you all think?

All, Really need some help with selecting my networking gear such as switches, midspan, access points, etc. I'm not super familiar with this stuff so bear with me. I need alot of network connected POE and non network connected POE. For network connected POE, I have about 40 motorized blinds, 12 T4 touchscreens, 6 access points, 9 cameras, Chime doorbell, etc. For non network POE, I have 12-13 Echo Dots. I think that is about it. For my access points, I want them to work more like a hotel would work, where there is just one or two networks that pop up when searching for WIFI. Not a separate connection for each access point. I basically want the main wifi signal to just be amplified or repeated by each access point. So that I have super robust WIFI everywhere. I have been suggested to use Luxul, so I wanted to gather opinions and specific suggestions on what Luxul products would work best. Thanks in advance for the help

All, Do any of you know a good source to find drivers or someone that can write drivers for Control4? We want a driver for the U by Moen showers and also the Thermasol steam units. Currently, U by Moen can be controlled by app, Alexa, etc and the Thermasol by Alexa. So one would think drivers for these would be fairly simple to create? Basically a simple on/off driver at the last preset would be awesome. I asked Driver Central about it over a year ago on the Moen driver and they said it would be release late third quarter of 2020. They havent released it. Any ideas?

Maybe I did. But C4 notes that the maximum wattage for LEDs varies greatly then what is specd based on the bulbs, source, etc.

It all really don’t make sense. For instance I have two chandeliers that each have an APD dimmer on them. They each have 108 3watt led bulbs. So roughly 324 watts each. The APD dimmers work great

I actually think it will work the way I have it, but just in case it doesnt, what is the least expensive option to accomplish what I'm trying to do. I dont really want to spend hundreds of dollars to simply dim on my closet LEDs. Worst case I just have them come on full blast and it costs nothing with a regular SW tied to the outlet.

All I did was add up the length of LED strips in the master closet that I'm using, multiply that by the wattage per foot that the strip indicates, and that gives me my total wattage. I then selected a transformer based on this. Right now the system is setup where the transformer will plug into a regular outlet, that outlet will be controlled by an APD. This should work I'm assuming? The transformer I have is actually a 320watt. It is the following: https://www.meanwell.com/Upload/PDF/HLG-320H/HLG-320H-SPEC.PDF

The only transformer I will have a problem with is the master closet. That is a 350 watt transformer. Worst case they can just come on full blast and not dim. It would be a lot nicer if they dimmed on though. What if I could wire an APD to a standard outlet? Then plug transformer into that outlet. That should work?

I don’t know what DMX is?

Also, are the TP Link outlets just switches or are they dimmers?

Where do I get that driver and how much is the driver?

These would be just as fast as the native C4 outlets with no noticeable delay?

I running an entire closet off one transformer. That is why that one is so large. I dont have the option anymore to put them on APD dimmers unless I want it to look really ugly. The transformers are all Meanwell.
