    I have 5 friends that would like a C4 system, but will not on principle. The words they use are "Control4 is polarizing". I didn't defend it. I happen to agree. You probably don't hear enough from qualified non customers. Those are people with money not spending it on control4. How do you think these non customers get this opinion?

    But wouldn't it be great for those customers that are perfectly capable to manage their own system and extend it in ways that are meaningful to them?

    Is that more than a web page?

    Be nice guys. He liked a C4 system he saw and bought some gear off ebay not really knowing it was a dealer ecosystem. He just wants to get it working and like many of us would desire some DIY control. Maybe some kind soul would offer a hand for a reasonable fee?

    You may get some short answers like "No". I thought I would write a few more words since it's your first post. You have the option of working for a dealer What kind of "things" do you want to add?

    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.
  23. Pounce
    You could monitor power usage of the circuit.
  24. Pounce
    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
