    IMHO if you want full integration where you can have physical switches to work 100% time or use motion or use a combination of the both just USE native c4 light switches. They just work!!! It doesn’t matter if someone presses a switch( like hue which renders the whole light circuit useless ) they always work and have sooo many combinations so you can custom the look and functionality of Different switches.

    Can you please work closely with bond to get it released in the UK
  3. tdougray
    I’m in the uk and use Rs485 RTS transmitter. Use it along with the free driver, rock solid and works a treat. As said above Bond is also an option but it’s not available here in the UK so can’t comment.

    Alan are the magnetic trigger sensors supported with this driver?
  5. tdougray
    Yes the same ridiculous lag as on your phone. If lag is an issue go T3 100%

    If your going to use the app why do you want to select it 1st via C4? Just use the app in the 1st place. If configured properly c4 will know it’s playing so can still use volume buttons etc through C4.

    $300!!!!! Time to find a new dealer
  9. tdougray
    Then I’m afraid you’ve come to the wrong place. Control4 is a dealer only platform and this Forum and the people on it will not be able or willing to help you. My advise to you is to find a Dealer( either local or remote ) and purchase HE. If you do not you are entering into a world of pain with no support or an avenue to purchase equipment. good luck

    These wireless switches are brilliant. I have SAPD ( square adaptive phase dimmers) SDAPD( square adaptive duel load dimmer). If your Dealer denied them selling these find another ASAP.

    As advised earlier apart from reception 2 all other rooms will not have 4K available through Sky

    Your quite correct with the integration but as a soundbar for tv it would be fine. I have a beam in the kitchen but only use it for the tv and works great. I use native for Home audio

    Well the Sonos Arc has just been released and has had rave reviews. Even if you don’t use Sonos for music and just as a sound bar
  14. tdougray
    Just bear in mind if you go sky locally the sky q minis do not support 4K so unless you can have skyq 2tb at each location you will not get 4K. You will not go far wrong with LG Oled and also something to bear in mind, if I’m correct the B&O sound bar doesn’t have upward firing speakers built in for Atmos but instead uses electronics to fool you.

    Just curious If you get the channel changed do you have to re identity every zigbee device?

    1000% I only use hue for bedside lights which work really well and around a yr ago I switched the bulbs for coloured ones thinking it would be really cool to choose different colours. Well over a yr later I don’t think I’ve ever changed them off cool white except for the 30 times over the 1st week of installation

    I believe OS 2.10.4 was the earliest OS to offer the add music driver which enables the end user to add native Music services without a dealer getting involved. Also try not to get hung up too much on cost, once up and running it doesn’t actually require too much intervention. I would highly recommend HE and 4sight. If you do need a dealer there are ones on this site with Great reputations and also charge extremely competitive rates and some by the 1/2 hour.

    I’m in the UK have used HDanywhere with great success but as mentioned by @mujtaba.khokhar blustream and wyrestorm have great reputations.
  19. tdougray
    It works reliably and is rock solid as long as you choose a decent manufacturer and keep within the max stated cable lengths. They have been doing 4K over single cat 5/6 for years.
  20. tdougray
    My advice is to take it to an electronics expert as this can be a very cheap easy fix. It’s not always a power supply and it can be a 12v regulator chip failure on the main board due to over heating and can easily be replaced by an expert.

    Sources in rack through matrix. Every other room works as expected and the kitchen remote / app also works as expected for all other rooms even if controlled from the kitchen! Sound bar for speaker. os3.1.1 foot note - all seems happy today
  22. tdougray
    Ok but why would zigbee channel effect the iOS app in the same way?
  23. tdougray
    Haven’t done this because I get the same problem with all remotes in this room but all work fine in all others. I don’t thinks so, it’s been happening with nothing else on in that room. Bizarre because it’s been running happy for god knows how long. Also when it’s happening, the app becomes unresponsive for the room showing the same problem. Volume control but no keypad/ keypad control.
  24. tdougray
    This is a weird one and only just started happening. In the kitchen if I choose a video source from the watch menu all fires up fine but once on, the remote and app are unresponsive to all buttons other than volume. The remote works in all other rooms and so does the app. But in the kitchen all video sources act the same. The strangest part is it sometimes comes back!!! have rebooted the system but it’s still there. any ideas?

    I would highly recommend Tidal. Great integration and also offer high res ( for additional cost)
