    Awesome! You guys had a forum at one point. Where is the best place to have discussions on your equipment, installation and configuration?

    Yea, they were like 300 each.

    When I looked for the same with DMX control I found Coloronix. http://www.coloronix.com/1/product/sr6led21-6-rgbw-downlight/ Those are the whole fixture. I don't own them or have any experience with them. I'm still undecided on the cans I have. Its entirely possible that I will fill the holes and go with a more modern smaller fixture.

    Looks like Phyn and Buoy are pretty similar. Phyn is a partnership with Belkin (wemo) and Uponor and I think you can only have it installed by one of their installers. I really like the geek factor if these things, but I wonder about the value. My local city can monitor the water meters in a similar way and can detect small leaks down stream from the meter. This is helpful for many here because it seems folks have lawn irrigation systems between the home and the water meter. The city is not going to alert you on a leak in your water filter that just happened though...

    Anything can integrate if there is a desire.

    There is also Flo https://meetflo.com/ and Phyn http://www.phyn.com/product/

    Maybe a temp sensor in the range hood and gas alarm is a better approach for simplicity? http://www.macurco.com/combustible_gas.html

    Honeywell Aurora's or IS335's are about $20. Do you have pets? If you do you may want a sensor with some degree of configuration for ignoring small objects. If not the cat is going to light up your house.

    For new construction I would only hard wire. What are you doing for your lighting? Centralized would be my recommendation.

    @Bogdy created a driver. Looks like the site is having maint at the moment. https://www.unilogiq.com/en/control4-drivers

    Don't see why you couldn't. It can do the cloud thing, but can also log locally or you can query a meter. Either way you can access the data. Keep in mind that the gas meters should always be located outdoors in a well ventilated area. http://documents.ekmmetering.com/api-docs/?shell https://apibuilder.ekmmetering.com/summary.html?

    I would not put a Wemo on an oven. Smart choice. Ok, if we have electric and gas I am sure you are going to ask about water next. In this case take a look at: https://www.ekmmetering.com/remote-water-and-or-gas-metering-package.html They offer meters for water and gas and have a push to cloud product. Might was well roll the whole thing up with multiple gas meters plus power and water.

    I believe the Wemo units are rated at 15amp. I have also seen that some have fried with higher amps (up to 15). I'm not sure of the percentage of failures. Could be a small number.

    The OP can test IP control by installing and trying one of the remote apps for android or iOS. If the apps work the TV has IP control. I posted links in another thread recently for apps that can control Samsung TV's.

    I assumed that the steam generator was hard wired.

    @alanchow probably has input on the power monitoring options since they have some drivers and partner with a hardware supplier. I'm looking at https://openenergymonitor.org/ and their Iotawatt product. Looks like the api's are simple.
  17. Pounce
    You could monitor power usage of the circuit.

    Good to know. thanks!

    Similar devices at Digital Loggers. I have used their stuff for industrial test automation for the cable tv industry. Don't think drivers would be that difficult to create. https://www.digital-loggers.com/lpc.html https://dlidirect.com/products/ethernet-power-controller-6 They have a nice POE injector with API control as well. They even have these that could be driven off the controller relays https://dlidirect.com/products/iot-power-relay

    Gotcha. You can mix and match channels as long as you have the available channels. Since I am really targeting a single location (kitchen cabinet lighting) I just need enough channels for a continuous strip. 5 channels. I'd rather not have a large box to get enough channels, but if a 5 channel decode is twice the price of a decoder with more than I need it could be an easy choice. Thanks for clarifying. For reference I was looking at this product for 5ch. http://www.sunricher.com/industrial-level-5-channel-dmx512-rdm-decoder-sr-2108a-m5-5.html

    Not sure I understand that. An RGB+CCT strip has RGB plus a warm white and a cool white channel. That's 5 channels needed to control the strip.
  22. Pounce
    If you know a good 5ch led strip controller let me know. They seem to be hard to find. I am trying to ensure I am using RBG+CCT strips where possible and they need 5 channels.
  23. Pounce
    The requirement is that color is controlled through C4 and the units are not wireless?
  24. Pounce
    I think other approaches can compete or compare favorably. I'm not knocking DMX. I'm not trying to talk you out of DMX. I'm actually working on wireless DMX after some options have popped up for wireless bulbs. My interest is RGB+cct and occasionally syncing to music or holiday themes in a retrofit where I am not going to run cable (I will for landscape lights) Control4 offers structured lighting that appears to be very popular among those implementing and owning. If I were building I would consider it myself.

    DMX is a control language and message bus. You can use it for all sorts. On off switches, motors etc, not just dimming LED. Yes, of course. I'm only trying to make the point that DMX isn't the only solution to controlling LED strips if you are going to the trouble to run the cable required. I may have done a poor job making that point.
