  1. Biggest difference is that the older Pulse (black) hub connects to C4 via RS232 / serial port while Pulse 2 (white) hub connects via IP.  This is huge as it gives you a lot more flexibility in terms of where you can place the hub (ideally centrally to all the shades you are controlling).

    Also, Pulse 2 can do sunset / sunrise based scheduling directly via the Rollease app, which I don't think the old Pulse hub could (it could only do it based on absolute time). 

    I also think the Pulse 2 app now supports iPad natively.

    Here is a detailed comparison https://www.rolleaseacmeda.com/docs/default-source/us/automate-controllers/automate-pulse-2/automate_hub_comparison.pdf?sfvrsn=f246ea3c_8

    If I were you, I would get your dealer to give you the latest Pulse 2 hub - no point in getting older hardware.

    I installed a Foxun Model:SX-MX12B 8x8 HDBaseT Matrix, Support 18G, HDR, 4K2K@60Hz, YUV 4:4:4.

    http://foxun.com/product_detail_1495.html

    I wrote a one way serial driver for it and it has worked great.  The price is less than 1/5 what you have been quoted.

     

    About a year ago, I had contacted Foxun about this exact model (SX-MX12B) and they had mentioned that they have Control4 drivers for it - IP based as well as serial based.  Is that not the case?

    And how is it working for you?

  3. Hi all

     

    I am installing a Zigbee 2 IO module (C4-Z2IO) to sense the temperature within a cabinet and based on the temperature, I want to control a 240V Control4 Wireless Puck Switch (C4-SM201-Z) on/off to essentially control a vent.

    I know that the Z2IO has a relay built-in that could potentially control the 240V vent directly, but the vent is already on the C4 switch.

    I would also like the current temperature to be displayed at all times.

     

    What's the best set of drivers to be able to do this?

    Would I be able to set the on/off temperature via the touchscreen or would that have to be done via programming?

     

    Thanks

    Could try a wireless dimmer puck. That is what has been recommended to me and I have installed and just waiting to have the can installed. Only downside is it's a light proxy so have a light rather than a fan icon etc.

    Does the fan speed vary according to the dimmer or are there preset speeds that you can program (off, low, med, high, etc.)?

  5. Hi all

    I know there are Zigbee based temperature sensors (like Z2IO, etc.) that integrate with Contol4...

    But I am looking for a WiFi based temperature sensor that could be integrated into Control4 for sensing the temperature and turning a fan/off via a relay.

    Again Zigbee is not an option as the location is too far from the EA5 and there are no other Zigbee devices in the system - so I don't want to start adding repeaters just for this one device.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Have you dealt with installing a VoIP PBX before??  That's what you'll have to do to enable calling between your customer and security desk.

    Seems awfully extravagant for a single customer.

    If you went with a 3rd party intercom system, at least you'll be able to offer and/or install for other tenants in the building to get the same capability.

    I have no experience with a VOIP PBX.  I have no influence with other tenants - so, that doesn't seem like a feasible route.  I guess I will leave the security desk as a separate phone line/system for now..  Thanks all...

    Experiment is the perfect word for this.

    Why don’t you look into a dedicated intercom system and leave C4 out of it?

    That is the fallback - would love to not have more equipment on the wall or a table.  Not just aesthetically but also won't confuse folks trying to answer the security phone vs the landline.

    I am intrigued by the SIP integration "experiment"...

  8. Hi all

    I have a weird question - tried searching the forum but couldn't find anything close to my issue - so here goes...

    I have a C4 installation in a condo in a larger apartment complex.

    There is a security desk downstairs that has the ability to call each individual condo via a phone line (or so it seems - don't know how its done as there is no dedicated phone number for each location).

    The easy option for me is to get a 2-line phone system (1 for the landline and 1 for this intercom to the security desk).

    But I'd rather have the security desk integrated into my C4 system as an intercom - I would like to make audio-only intercom calls from the C4 touchscreen / mobile app to the security desk and vice-versa.

    Is that possible?  If so, do i need special hardware?

    Thanks

    There literally is no upside. It's just a pain. That's why no one has returned your call. Imho 

    I am in the same boat with 2 dead WB-600 units - willing to offer some incentive if some dealer wants to help be the liaison with SnapAV.  Thanks
