My client has installed 3 Baldwin locks that are Zwave and wishes to control them via C4. The Baldwin locks have Composer drivers via Zwave and the C4 Zwave dongle. I am looking for a Zwave repeater that will work in this setup. I was pointed to Aeotec 7 as a solution but did not find a driver yet. Is there a driver for this device? Anyone have other solutions they have used that are working well? Thanks.

I am looking for a zwave extender for use with some Baldwin zwave locks. I did not see any drivers in Composer Pro for the Aeotec Range Extender 7. Will pairing work without a driver being setup first?

I am looking for a solution for a client who wants to have his swinging man gate controlled. Client wishes to unlock via local keypad and remotely via Control4 app. I am looking at magnetic locks and electric strikes. Hoping someone has successfully gone down this path and will share the setup they used. Thanks.

I'm looking for some direction on using Alexa for voice control of multi-zone music. Currently the system has one Sonos Connect, one C4 Music Bridge, one C4 8-zone matrix amp, and an HC-800. There are 8 zones in the home currently wired up with speakers. With Sonos it is very was to say "Alexa play James Taylor in the Kitchen". Alexa responds by playing various JT songs from Amazon Music in the Kitchen zone of the Sonos. Very easy via Alexa to pause, raise / lower volume. Using the existing C4 8-zone amp, am I able to get to a similar one-command for Alexa? If not, how many commands would it take to get the Sonos Connect to be streaming from Amazon Music in the Kitchen? Does it make sense to add a few more Sonos Connects for zones with the highest use of Alexa? If cost were not a concern (ease of Alexa commands being the priority), should I pull out the c4 8-zone matrix amp and replace with 8 Sonos amps? Or add 7 more Sonos Connects giving each zone its own Sonos (and defeating the purpose of the matrix amp)? Any other options you think would be worth considering? Thanks.
