  1. I use both the WiiM mini and WiiM pro. The way I handle it with in ceiling speakers is I have one WiiM for each audio zone that has ceiling speakers. this way in each room you can ask Alexa to play music and will go only on that zone hardware wise all you need is a Y splitter. Each room currently has a Left/Right audio cable going into the amp from the matrix. I bought a Y splitter that allows both the matrix and WiiM to plug into the amp. the downside is technically both sources can step on each other but in reality this never happens.
  2. I had to made a choice to upgrade to the new x20 line coming from a 510 with 7 x10 cameras The Luma was much more expensive the a comparable Hikvision - and I waned 8mp colorvu cameras which Luma didn’t provide The luma x10 is a rebranded hikvison anyways so the swap was easy The hikvision app is way way better then the luma and I’m happy I switched
  3. in my case I had multiple dimmer modules fail - all on different fixtures , mainly pot lights. I guess every situation is different
  4. I’ve started to have these mosfet errors on panel lighting installed in 2014. In all cases swapping the module fixed the problem - it was never the wiring or the fixture
  5. For whatever it is worth, the easiest (but not cheapest) way to get C4 working with Alexa is via a WiiM mini. Since it's Alexa compatible, it can be used as an output device (over wifi). the WiiM just connect in the rack to the audio channels via a splitter so that it's triggered when Alexa speaks or plays music. I have it running with both Alexa Dots and the Flex (the wall outlet), works perfectly.
  6. Does anyone have any experience with the new NVR lineup with the older x10 cameras ? i have the current 510 NVR and the app is unable to push notifications , and the c4 integration is not really that good. im specifically looking to see if the X20 NVR can push motion or line crossing directly to the new luma app without going through Control4
  7. I can’t find any setting in my EAP660HD to turn on/off multicast enhancement. Is it possible my batch of remotes is bad ? I ordered 3 - one was DOA (battery doesn’t charge) and the other two die within 12 hours.
  8. What Wifi access points/network do you have ? This seems quite impressive
  9. I have a Hydra Connect HMA-8x16BT which is an 8 zone hdbaset T matrix and 16 zone audio matrix. For it's time is was quite impressive, especially the seamless audio down mixing from 5.1 content. There was a lot of drama with the company and it's no longer in business, and my matrix while having been repaired by the original owners, it's starting to die. I am looking for a recommendation for another Matrix that can take it's place, and ideally be 4K. No one seems to make a matrix with 16 zones, and I am currently using 15 of those zones. Is there a reliable combination of matrix + audio matrix (without audio lip sync issues and can downmix to stereo) or an integrated unit that is recommended? I've moved most of my 4K sources to be local, but it would be good to have 4k distribution but it's not a hard requirement.
  10. My TP LINK EAP access points don’t seem to have this feature. I did enable unscheduled power saving. is there another name this goes by ?
  11. Let’s see how everyone feels in a few days of use. dealer is taking back the remotes , full refund. maybe I got a bad batch of batteries (one remote was completely DOA) but I just think it’s a design flaw. My wifi network is rock solid , using higher end technology. I have enabled the settings which no other device on the market needs , nor does Control4 suggest or put in their requirements. This seems to be speculation from this forum that some wifi settings can help the battery life without any confirmation this is supported by the remote.
  12. I would be thrilled with 3 or 4 days. I’m not exaggerating when I say the remotes are lasting approx 12 hours. This is without using them, sitting on the couch within 20 feet of a wifi access point. I can’t wait for all the apologist dealers out there to try and convince their customers this is normal behaviour.
  13. Actually I don’t want it free. I spent close to 2000 dollars on these new remotes , so pardon me if I had an expectation they function. One unit was DOA and being replace , and the others can’t last a day. if I missed any marketing from c4 saying the battery life is horrendous , that I apologize for. Can you provide the link where they explain the remote must be recharged between each use , or the remote won’t be ready the next time you need it ?
  14. The only other complaint is that I find the responsiveness not to not as good as the zigbee remotes. Even scrolling to change rooms is slower then you would expect for a brand new product. as for the buttons, it’s all muscle memory. I get that things change , but it’s not like they had compelling reasons to move the back/cancel/ prev buttons . This I can live with , but it’s not a change I think lots of people were asking for.
  15. I’m coming from 250/260 and only wanted the voice control. For the price of these remotes , I’m not sure my expectations should be battery life is good for less then 12 hours. I have Omada EAP access points - enabled UAPSD - no effect . Does the remote even support this ? Im ok being a beta tester .. just shocked at how poor the initial release is
