  1. I appreciate that but I honestly doubt my opinion is uncommon if you were to consult with interior design professionals and architects of luxury residential dwellings. It certainly was our personal, builder and designers opinions.
  2. Good info, thanks. Perhaps its lack of wifi that allows Levels small size and excellent battery life. If I ran control4, consumers installing devices like Level, Ring, Brilliant in C4 homes would have me worried. The existing lock solutions are just not good enough for the high end luxury market they should be targeting.
  3. Yeah, I got it backwards but either way, no need to use the Level keyset. Thats the whole point to me, better styles entrysets than the limited c4 options.
  4. You dont have to switch out the cylinder. He reviewed the full level “bolt” not the original level lock that keeps the keyset of your original lock. I still dont think you understand the Level product.
  5. Again, you can use Schlage, Baldwin, etc with the level internals keeping their keyset and security features. Maybe you dont understand how level lock works.
  6. Yeah, so what. His videos are entertaining but kind of pointless. Pretty easy to just break a glass door or window and get in almost any house. Its not like a deadbolt is anything more than a mild deterrent. Thus alarms and cameras were created. And like stated above, you can use any keyset with level.
  7. Just not a fan of the smart lock look with keypad or the few decent other designs. You are severely limited in choice. The level is a great solution allowing near endless choices. I would argue the functionality is better with level with nfc, no need to open any apps. Just can be frustrating when any home automation, be it c4, crestron, savant, etc have worse solutions than relatively cheap consumer products. But guess that is true for a lot of things. Maybe can work around with Homekit
  8. Correct and the officially supported integrated partners locks are not great design wise and now have less functionality that 300 lock you can get on amazon. Its an issue for a home automation company.
  9. Well technically its bt and nfc but i get your point. Either way, its a shame i can get better functionality and design integration for next to nothing and there is nothing comparable from c4.
  10. Level is still around and they just released lock plus which works with home key. We remodeled and installed these as the C4 locks and August products are hideous. Gotta say its a great product and C4 needs to work on integrating it. Install can be fiddly but works on our Baldwin and Schlage, even the low profile sets which are not officially supported.
  11. I am not an installer but end user. Worked fine for me in harsh environment but notice the “ymmv”, lol.
  12. Outdoor tvs are stupid pricey. Is the TV covered? We purchased a cheap vizio with thought we may have to replace frequently which is still cheaper than the sunbrite, etc. 10 years and no issue. Humid climate, 10 ft from salt pool. Ymmv
  13. The consumer grade vistas are but the 128bpt is commercial line due to number of zones and sensors.
  14. Good luck! In summary for me, Jandy no longer works, using Jandy app. MyQ garage no longer works, using MyQ app. C4 matrix went out, using a few Sonos speakers. Alarm Vista 128bpt not supported in C4 new os. Sigh. At least local control of my theater still works.
