Thank you. I really only need it to run composer, Lutron and similar software that runs on windows as I use Mac’s otherwise. Maybe a small NCU and a pullout keyboard / display (used on eBay) is what I’m thinking
-
What model you use? I’m not familiar with servers, will they run windows and allow me to use AnyDesk?i

I use AnyDesk to remote into a current home but not familiar with this. Is it better? Or go virtual machines. Many use a local 'admin station' that has access to all vlans (for e.g.) which means you can VNC/RDP into that station to carry out config changes. Making this hardware is also fine (even if a laptop) but most prefer to use equipment with out-of-band access in case of hardware crashes.

I am setting up a new C4 based system and would like to have a computer running in the rack to permit more access for programming, etc. I was thinking of just keeping a cheap windows laptop on rack shelf which seem can be made to stay on even when lid is closed. Have others done this and worked well or other recommendations?

2024 Apple Music on Control4 Native - Ever?
nxr replied to anon2828's topic in General Control4 Discussion
I’m about to pull the trigger on autonomic. Anyone have experience with it recently and how it has performed? Surprised it doesn’t get more attention as only real integrated solution -
Although sounds like the comands are easier, I like Alexa in that it allows news and weather updates, intercom and announcements etc, which I understand Josh can’t do.

For background music the AAC might be enough but not ideal and not holding my breath for more given you can even do hires in any practical way even with wired Apple devices

Emtek EMTouch locks compatible with C4?
nxr replied to htjunkie's topic in General Control4 Discussion
I tried this a few years ago and it did not work. I’d say locks are one of the more disappointing things with C4 as there seems to be better solutions for HomeKit like accurate and level. -
Thanks - I was able to confirm it’s AAC 256 for Apple
-
Does anyone know whether the AMB outputs Apple Music in Lossless Hi Res? Also, what is the quality level of the DACs in the streamers? thanks
-
Agree as I have some of those already elsewhere but it’s the new steel windows that I’ve heard could be a problem with some sensors and was wondering about that.
-
Any experience with wireless window / door sensors that work on steel window / doors that are small?
-
From what I could tell it’s about 2k for two streams otherwise I’d need two Sonos connects, which is about 1200. while I have 8 or so zones, I really don’t need more than two streams the 800 difference isn’t very meaningful in the scheme of total project
-
It’s incontrovertible though that Apple is a leading platform that isn’t going away and C4 should prioritize full integration
-
Super helpful and better question is why haven’t they?
