You should really be using a proper HDBaseT extender for this. HDMI cables can break and cannot be upgraded or replaced. Also what happens when 8K is here? Your cable is then garbage. Atleast with HDbaseT you could just upgrade to an 8K extender for example.

None the less here is what you asked for

I have ran into this too.

We used to use ProConnect because they were cheap and worked great. But AVAD dropped the line and now we dont have any sort of replacement without spending big bucks.

It was the EX1HAD and the price was great.

I dont know if I am crazy but I cant even find the proconnect website anymore. I guess they are really gone now. AVAD replaced proconnect with MSTR Brand and they dont have something similar in their lineup. Ideally this product would cost around $75 CAD or so,

I have only ever used the hue products before.

Quick question with TP link can you actually dim the bulb using a dimmer? Or do you need to wire it to power all the time then send programming commands to actually dim it?

The Z-Wave driver is fully functional and reports the state of the lock fine.

The dongle is pricey, the range is crap and the performance isn't there. If you had the same lock in C4 Zigbee or the same long in Z-wave with the Dongle the C4 Zigbee one will work much much better.

I hate when people try to back door the door locks to try and save $50/lock. Just buy a proper zigbee one from your dealer and be done with it. Only use Z-wave if you inherited locks from an old alarm system and they are already in place. Buying them yourself on ebay or where ever is just not worth the hassle for the little to no money you will save at the end of the day.

You can keep the HC800. It still works great on OS 3.1 - I still have one at my own house.

You will need to get rid of any HC-250s, Old touch Panels, and swap the driver for the sony recievers.

You may need an IOX, Z2IO or another controller to control things now that the receivers arn't going be be able to do that.

Upgrading to an EA5 is a good idea, but don't think that you HAVE to buy an EA5. Your HC800 is still suporrted and will work fine. Now for how much longer will the HC800 be supported is unknown, but as of today its fine.

Heck I bet the HC800 IR outputs aren't even being used and if you really got a craft dealer he could likely splice IR out of the HC800 to a Cat5 cable in the room and upgrade the system with little to no extra hardware required.

maybe not though. Have them run the OS3 Updater and give you the OS3 upgrade Report generated from Composer. That should clearly outline what products you have that are no longer supported.

It really could use a few more buttons that's for sure... Like not even a guide button? I would have definitely thought it would have had a mic too.

I mean it doesn't hurt the product line up but I was hoping for a bit more. 

Yea I mean honestly you might want to replace them with an IOX. Then you never have to worry about a future OS compatibility issues. But for what your talking about the EA1 would be a great replacement.

Interesting, I did not know that luma was rebranded hikvision.

Any chance you could point me to the Hik equivilent of a LUMA-510 analog?

Ive been using Interlogix for years, but now with them shutting down I am going to need to find a new line of Cameras.

I think we will likely move to LUMA Cameras. They are pricey but they do work very well in and out of the C4 ecosystem.

Anyone know if LUMA cameras are rebadged from another brand? As far as I can tell they seem to be unique, but I could be wrong.

The benefits of integrating the sound bar is so you can do things like

Control Volume, Change inputs, power it on and off.

He did mention connecting via optcial so you would need to control the soundbar as well. And ARC is way to finicky to rely just on that.

ChopedDogg hit the nail on the head though. We basically only sell the same ones he is mentioning,

Sony, Sonos, Heos.

The sony stuff is surprising good. And for its price point I dont think it can be beat. The HTCT800 is dirt cheap, comes with a wireless subwoofer and had SDDP IP drivers. It kicks ass and the product line only goes up from there.

And then of course you have the option of going the Passive Sounbar route and doing a Triad LCR soundbar with something like a Denon AVR powering it.

Usually we do the active soundbars because its a little easier. But if you really want something kick ass go with the passive solution.

I feel your pain. Only have 4 settings sucks big time.

I think we will have a new Neeo Remote.

I honestly hope they don't come out with new touchscreens. I just installed 3 10" T3's at a customers house yesterday and if they drop new ones today I know both of us will be pretty choked,

Hoping for Google Integration but I know that is probably not going to happen.

Not sure what else to expect really.

should probably skip the HC250 and get an EA1 or EA3. HC250 cannot do OS3.

What happens if you just plug (for example) the hdmi output of your laptop into the denon? Do you get an image? If so try plugging the laptop HDMI into the video matrix and see if that helps.

Your going to be best off with the keypad dimmer i would think

Possible firewall settings? Run as Admin?

Unifi is not the issue. I have lots of clients with OS3 and Unifi.

Close the app completely and open it from scratch - loads quick

Put the app in the background for a bit and come back and reopen the app takes 30 seconds to load.

Known bug it happens on every system. Solution. Just shut the app down and open from scratch. Or wait a few more weeks untill C4 has it patched. They are aware of the issue.

That is the one. There is no mention of it and their website sucks but I just did the training and they said every DVR has half the capacity in NVR channels.

So a 4 channel DVR can record 6 cameras. 4 Analog and 2 IP

An 8 Channel DVR can record 12 Cameras 8 Analog and 4 IP

Give them a shout. Available at AVAD or WAVE

I know that LUX does this. Havent used them myself but I was just in their training and it seems alright. Price is great

http://www.luxcctv.com/products/16-channel-hybrid-hd-tvi-dvr-lux-tri-t16/

They do have C4 drivers.

Also i'm pretty sure a LUMA 510 DVR can do this. Luma is our go-to but honestly I have never dont a hybrid setup myself. I am an analog guy all the way! (5MP analog HD-TVI kick ass)

Based on the pictures the Bose 251 would work great for that application. Project looks great.

I mean it sounds like a pretty small room. Whats the application of this room? Why does it need to have big speakers with large woofers? It is a home gym or something? Or more of an office area?

I mean I am sure you could use the bose 251 speakers and put in a pair.

It won't be thundering bass that will shake the house down that you can feel in your soul. But, we all have an idea of why Bose speakers are so popular, and its because they typically have more low end than other brands (by design) I just put 14 of these into a small restaurant and it sounded great. No it wasn't as good as a club in Miami but still the Bose 251 speakers dont disappoint.

If the room is so small its impossible to put in 2 speakers, then it seems like all you really need is some soft background music and any of the solutions listed above will be fine.

Also I would strongly recommend not using zone 2 on the avr. Especially if your going to put in some high-end, great sounding speakers then have the system glitch out and not work properly seems like an oversight. Even things like announcements and such won't work in that zone. You won't be doing anyone a favor using zone 2 thats for sure

Nothing too fancy about these speakers but they are exactly what your talking about. Surface Mount dual voice coil.

If your using a triad matrix and amp just set the audio matrix to mix to mono and use any speaker you want.

I would assume yes. I dont think there was any special firmware for sr-250's on os3.

This should do the trick

Definitely go for a panelized lighting solution. If you want the best dimming experience around go with 0-10v dimming products. Sounds like you have the budget for it. Right now (In my opinion) there is nothing better than a Control4 0-10v Panelized Lighting Solution with Hardwired RS485 keypads. This is (in my opinion) the Rolls Royce of lighting solutions.
