  1. i have done quite a few of the duets, the trick is to not use the spotify mini app for the ovation, just use the ovation player driver. ii did have one job where one of our techs called fusion and they had them use spotty, not spotify but still gave them spotify access.My personal system i just removed the spotify mini app, use just the ovation player driver and  i have no issues. my advice is to have your installer call fusion and get help setting up the fusion the tech support is fast and very good, have them also look at the integration with control4 to make sure he has it setup correctly.

  2. log into your xfinity modem and look at the dhcp ip scheme, then look in the xfinity modem for connection list and see if you see your control4 devices. if you dont see your control4 devices try powering them off wait a few seconds and power them back up. if you still dont see them then your c4 controllers are probably static ip, and most likely on another ip scheme. you will need to use composer to log into system manager and change the ip of each device. if you have touchscreens you can tap on touchscreen and change its ip, you can do dhcp to the touch screen if your not too tech savvy

  3. on a controller say an ea3 if you have coax digital connected to a matrix, then analog one and two connected to a matrix, then you pay for a family plan you can put 3 instances of spotify into c4 with a different login for each of the instances of spotify. if each user uses thier respective spotify you can have 3 different streams going. however to answer your question about which output plays, if you have all 3 outputs going, digital is chosen 1st, then analog 2, then analog one. if you have only analog cables hooked up to both output 1 and 2 , analog 2 will always play 1st from the controller

  4. make sure all hdmi cables are 4k capable, and all devices must be 4k capable as well. older devices also may be 4k but certain ports were 4k, not all ports. then check the settings in your devices to make sure 4k is turned on. you could also connect each wire to the tv directly to test the hdmi's, then work work backwards to find the culprit causing your issue

  5. so you have the zwave module for control4,  then you need a dealer to add the drivers, if you have a vera hub or another ZWAVE Hub "some are compatible or have drivers ,you still need a dealer to add the drivers. you need a dealer to add drivers to your control4 project, you can buy composer home to make some edits to your control system, after your dealer adds the drivers

    however i dont believe aotec extenders are compatible directly with control4 i dont see a driver but ill try when i get home today , you need a hub like a vera hub then you can bring them into control4, 

  6. ok so we sell  mainly araknis, full setups, but we played around with luxul we tried the 5000 router, managed and unmanged switches, 1000 controller and 1510 waps. i can say that i do like the waps with the controller and overall liked the gear after getting it setup properly, however i did have some troubles with it and had to reach out to a more network savvy friend colleague .i had a quite a few problems with luxul routers not opening ports, and tech support sucked at helping, which caused us to stop selling luxul, we still use the waps setup because the handoff is better than araknis.

    here is the issue with a lot of DEALERS, luxul has quite a few settings that most dealers don't know about, or how to set them up properly, most dealers are av guys trying to do networks and the luxul components are just not plug and play. or drop it and go. Luxul does require some more network knowledge then other brands but it is solid gear.

    my suggestion is find yourself a real networking guy to help you setup your system, do a site survey and move your waps to the proper locations needed for your home. 

  7. i have the poe chime and the day/night image is much better than the ds2, however sometimes the chime takes about 15 seconds to notify me. it could be because i have a pretty large system running on a ea3, which in time ill upgrade to a ea5. i do have push notifications running off motion too that work work great with video clips as well. overall i would definitely recommend the chime over the ds2. i have installed a few on smaller systems and ea3, and some with ea5 and works quickly with those systems. i used a plate to cover the old ds2 whole
