    Hi @ILoveC4 Yep. You can using line voltage LED strips. But I'm not sure whether we can have an additional channel to adjust brightness of the color we create. Yes I'm unable to run more parallels.

    Hi @Cartnj I haven't used Luma. Do you personally recommend it?

    Hi @ILoveC4 Were you able to connect a 50m RGBW LED strip without any voltage drop? What's the maximum run length of LED strip/tape you achieved from a single controller or dimmer?

    Hi @c4toys, What is the DMX driver you used? is it LUM-B34XTS-DMX ?
  5. Dinushan Paranavithana
    Has anyone, ever used a line voltage RGBW LED strip/tape with color & brightness control? Any DMX driver driver having 4 channels for R,G,B & W and another for brightness control?

    Hi @c4toys Can you change the brightness of a certain color between 0-100%. How many steps can we go for? According to Lumilum dmx driverspecs : https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0184/0810/files/Lumilum_Product_Manual-LUM-B34XTS-DMX_3.pdf?64 The driver has only 8 levels of brightness, which is not enough for my customer. I have highlighted what's provided in the specs in the link given below. https://www.dropbox.com/s/m8tkx9qt4w51qbu/LumilumControllerBrightnessLevels.PNG?dl=0

    Has anyone used Cool Master Net module from CoolAutomation (https://coolautomation.com/) to integrate Samsung Outdoor Units (VRF) ? If the Indoor AC units are properly connected and addressed in the traditional way, will the Cool Master Net Module which should be connected to the outdoor unit only, would recognized all indoor units automatically?

    Hi @Crustyloafer Thanks a lot for your time. I need to use the RS232 ports of EA-5 as well. There will be so many touchscreens and a lot of sensors. So I don't want the system to lag. So I guess it's method 1 vs method 2 right? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Method 1 //Top Floor (12 Audio Zones) 1 X EA-5, 1 X TS-AMS24, 1 X TS-PAMP8-100, 1 X TS-PAMP4-100 //Bottom Floor (13 Audio Zones) 1 X EA-5, 1 X TS-AMS24, 2 X TS-PAMP8-100 Or according to the way you suggested.. Method 2 //Top Floor (12 Audio Zones) 12 X TS-SAMP1-100 //Bottom Floor (13 Audio Zones) 1 X EA-5, 13 X TS-SAMP1-100 -------------------------------------------------------------- For Lighting we have decided to go with RGB lighting from Colorbeam (https://www.colorbeamlighting.com/). For each individual light control combination, we need to lay a network cable. So for the entire project just for lights, its around 102 network cables (Because of 102 individually controllable light points). Lights are entirely controlled with low voltage. They have their own dmx drivers and panels, similar to C4 centralized lighting.

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/xdjfyf224i0qny5/MultiroomMusicCenVsDecenCropped.jpg?dl=0 Hi @Tokead, @SMHarman, @Crustyloafer I have just sketched my idea of setting up Multi-room Audio for this project. The link to the image is given above. My other question is, by setting up according to this way, will I be able to access devices like pen drive, Bluesound vault 2i & etc connected to the EA-5 on the bottom floor, from the EA-5 on the top floor to play music in top floor audio zones? What would be the technical limitations by doing so?
  12. Dinushan Paranavithana
    hi @Tokead, @SMHarman & @Crustyloafer Thanks for the quick replies. Yes but the problem that I have is the number of audio zones in the ground floor and top floor. 14 audio zones for ground floor and 13 on the top floor. The speaker wires would have a 100m run length from the bottom floor PAMP to top floor In-ceiling speaker points. We might have to go for 10 AWG or 12AWG gauges. But this an apartment which is already built. The customer is going to occupy the 34th (bottom) and 35th (top) floor. The building constructors aren't allowing for large core cuts on concrete beams. We don't have gypsum partitions anywhere to simply pass the cables. We have limited space to pull cables from bottom floor to top floor. For lights, we are going for recessed ceiling lights. We need to run 100+ network cables for lights and more network cables for data points. So thought of just descentralizing the top floor and bottom floor. We also need a minimum of four audio streams in each floor or even more than that if possible. (Different audio tracks in different rooms) That's the reason to go for 2 X EA-5.

    To handle lights, lighting scenes, sensors, curtains and more. The lights will be decentralized as well.

    For a house already being built, due to certain limitations, I need to avoid pulling speaker cables from the bottom floor to top floor. So is it recommended to have a EA-5 controller, AMS and PAMP in each floor getting connected to the same IP network? What would be the disadvantages of having a setup like this (decentralizing)? The EA-5 controller in the bottom floor would act as the main controller.

    Hi @c4toys Were you able to dim the RGB LED strip from Lumilum? I mean we should be able to dim the red, green and blue channels between 0-100% obviously. But I mean adjusting the brightness of the value represented by each channel. Were you able to change the brightness of the RGB LED strip? My Requirement is demonstrated in the following youtube link.
  16. Dinushan Paranavithana
    Has anyone tried Lumilum ? The line voltage solution ? According to specs, it would go up to 164ft. But I'm not sure whether the RGB LED strip is dimmable https://www.lumilum.com/
  17. Dinushan Paranavithana
    Got it.

    Hi @Amr, How would the menu look like with the chowmain driver? Will it be similar to a menu like tv remote or a fan icon? Will I be able to control the fan speed by sliding a bar. I appreciate if you could share an image of the navigator for me to get an idea. Thank you.
  19. Dinushan Paranavithana
    Hi @EverAction Yes. I thought of purchasing the one in the link. https://www.hunterfan.com/ceiling-fans/casablanca-stealth-dc-with-led-light-54-inch-fam756

    Hi @sonic30101 With the bond bridge, what kind of proxy we would get for the fan and the light bulb built in the fan? Would it be a TV remote like interface on the navigator or a fan icon? Any possibility to have a slider on the navigator to vary the speed by sliding the bar? I appreciate if you could share an image to get an idea...

    Hi @lippavisual What is a pull chain?
  22. Dinushan Paranavithana
    Has anyone tried Lumilum ? https://www.lumilum.com/
  23. Dinushan Paranavithana
    Is the following Casablanca ceiling fan model compatible with Control4 fan speed controller? https://www.hunterfan.com/ceiling-fans/casablanca-stealth-dc-with-led-light-54-inch-fam756
  24. Dinushan Paranavithana
    Hi @zaphod I have tried LILIN, and I'm not happy with it. Can you recommend something else?
  25. Dinushan Paranavithana
    Can someone recommend some good Hikvision NVR models compatible with Control4?
