Great to see you're on the lookout for new opportunities! Your experience in custom installation and programming with Control4 sounds impressive.

Thank you for your words.
I am always looking to improve both personally and professionally.
Currently working for myself, with a little more years of experience, not only Control4, but also with Lutron and Savant.
Thanks again.

I would recommend that you first learn the basics of control4, and then go into detail about the system.
To be able to do certifications and installations you should be in a company authorized by Control4 to sell, install and program their products. There are many courses, theoretical, practical and certifications.

Maybe if you need any help, you can ask in this forum, where it is good to help people who are enthusiastic about this technology.

Are you still looking for someone? I just turned 42 years old 2 weeks ago, my wife, daughter and myself are looking to make a major change. I have worked for my family business all my life in NY. I started and have been running the florida branch since right after 9/11. We closed the NY branch down when my father got sick 3 years and now that he passed 2 months ago, I am contemplating closing the florida branch. To much family politics. Evwn though I started the FL branch from nothing but my father's license and money,, the rest of the family thinks they should have a cut of the business and wants to be put on weekly payroll but not do anything to earn the money. ( obviously that will kill the business in weeks). 

So it is time to shut it down and start over. 

I have been an electrician since I was 13 years old. After my father passed (the license holder) I went and took the Florida unlimited electrical contractor's exam and passed. So I now have an unlimited FL electrical contracting license which is one of the hardest in the country to obtain and is congruent in many other states. Which relates in that I can also install the control4 switches and dimmers. Don't need an outside Contractor to do it (saves money) .

I am also certified in all 4 control4 groups. Control 4 associate installer, automation programmer, centralized lighting and also I am PCNA certified (professional Certified networking Administrator). All 4 groups that control4 offer.

I am also certified in clare controls (alarm systems and home automation) . I hold certification in Lutron RadioRa 2 and also the new RadioRa 3 that just came out, Lutrons commercial automation vive, for small to medium office spaces, I am a Lutron certified Residential contractor and also certified I'm ra2 select and caseta.

I am certified in URC Total control 2.0 and 3.0 too. 

I know I am missing a couple there, but I think you get the point that I absolutely love home automation, surround sound systems and custom home theater rooms. I also have been installed wired and wireless alarm systems, programming them and setting them up with our monitoring company (we use COPS monitoring).  

The only thing I would keep going down here in Florida if I was to relocate to a job, is the alarm and networking side. I have about 25 customers with the alarm side and about 18 customers that have full home network and wifi systems that we sold, installed and keep up the maintenance (only started the alarm side 8-9 months ago). I have a good friend that would be able to dona service call here and there if needed and everything else I can do remotely through OvrC for the networks and fusionpro for the alarm systems.  Even my control4 customers i can program remotely.  The service contracts with my control4 customers I would be willing to hand them over to my next employer after there contracts are up and ready for renewal.

Basically I have the experience of a business owner and the knowledge of a very seasoned home automator and throw in my vast electrical knowledge and unlimited FL ec license and you have the perfect employee. 

I am not looking to own my own business anymore so there is no threat of me ever stealing customers, but on the flip side you would be hiring someone that will work your business like it is his own. I know what and what not to do already. 

My company is doing well here in Florida. I started with just me and a truck and built it up to 6 guys, 5 trucks an office and showroom, but it is just not worth the family drama anymore. 

My wife agrees with me, if I don't walk away now, then it will kill me. I will die of a heart attack or stroke. It is just hard to find work in my town or even in a 100 mile radius because people know my name and would always be worried that I was just trying to steal work or something along those lines. Plus with my experience and knowledge, people don't want to hire me because they think it's made up. I have a lot of credentials, so they don't even give me the chance to prove it. I can email copies of every certificate, license and training that I have gone through. People ask how do I have all of those credentials, I tell them it is very easy when you absolutely love what you do. 

So I only ask for a chance for you to look at my resume and talk to me on the phone. I promise to not disappoint. 

Thank you 

 

Sincerely,

Nick Wanerka

wire it back to any controller or IOX??

Sorry for the late reply, I fixed it with the shelly cloud platform. 
I installed Shelly 2.5 roller-shutter functionality and works very well with Drivercentral driver.

Hello guys, how are you?

I need connect 4 wire motor curtain (Dooya motorized curtains Up/Down/CM/Ground) with Wall control UP/Down and Stop to Control4 System.
I don´t have the space and wiring to install 8 channel relay modules anywhere.
What can I install behind the wall switch or on the motor to be able to control it? I had thought of a dual square switch, but the price is expensive for all curtains.
I know that motors come with a 485 connection to integrate to a control system but I don´t know what connection I should make, If this is like somfy interfaces, I assume a RS485 to RS232 converter to connect to Control4.

There has to be a solution, other than panelized relay modules to be able to do this integration.

Thank you all

Hello, how are you?

Control4 Programmer/Installer looking for a job

Yes its true, composer is only .exe not air, air is only control4 mypc. Sorry

Regards

Hello how are you? You try to programming with a variable? for example:

Toggle LivingBlinds (Use the LivingBlinds in a boolean variable)

if the variable LivingBlinds = True?
Open Blind
LivingBlinds = False
if the variable LivingBlinds = False?
Close Blind
LivingBlinds = True

Change the variable value for the toggle

Or another programming option can be ask to blind is open? Close Blind or blind is Closed? Open Blind.

The toggle of this blind drivers (somfy) time ago, they gave me problems.

Regards
