    I’m in the market for a new TV and wondering which brands/lines offer the most robust (non IR) control these days? Currently I’ve got Pioneer Elite’s that I control via RS-232 and a Sharp which I control over IP. Both are solid. I don’t have a single IR driver in my project and want to keep it that way. 

    I’ve got my eye on the OLED Samsung’s, but haven’t yet done any research on control options. 

    How do you control cable boxes? Been trying to get rid of my last IR.

  2. I’m no troglodyte!

    I try not to resist change. I’m only 28 and the only system I have ever installed was my own, 4 years ago.

    When I thought about getting into selling the product, I used to brag, to all those who would inquire, that the big red four would explain it all. Now, as of OS3, the big red four brings up a screen with only half the operations it once had AND its less easy to explain. 

    i want the future to include the grid or circle of the watch listen lighting shades like it once had. I’d love individualized backgrounds for each room.

    i also find it very difficult to use one rooms nav to setup another rooms media.

    also! Why does sprinkle on, show grass, while sprinkler off, shows water at spray. 

    I HOPE I’m not the only one

     

    I do realize c4 isn’t catering to just me. 

  3. I have a arris cable box that has a 3.5 mm port labeled IR ext/Serial in. I hate IR emitters so I’d like to utilize the 3.5 mm female.

     

    What protocol would this use? I don’t have anymore serial ports. 

     

    Thoughts/opinions?

    This matrix is only $156 which seems like a great deal! Does anyone have an opinion as to the benefit of spending $1000+ for other 4x4 matrix switches vs this one if they can both be controlled by Control4 with the RS232? Doesn't seem to make sense to spend 10x more for the exact same functionality....

    I got j tech to send me a c4 driver! Yes! Rs232

    Did you ever accomplish RS-232 control? Does this eliminate the beeping noise caused by manual and IR input? And did you by chance use the 3.5-DB-9 cable, because  it only uses three pins, I hope that’s sufficient. I have the EA-3 and have no DB-9 connection available.

    i realize this is a “necro-post”, but isn’t that the point of forums like this. 

    Thank you for anyone who has any experience.
