We use it as well. In fact we used it the weekend of New Years and we have it tied with light scenes and an alarm command. We’ve never had issues. 

How much for the set of switches shipped to 78006?

Yes the driver provides bi-directional feedback.  Note that it is polled so it won't update until the next poll interval (unless the command is initiated by Control4 in which case its instant).

I changed the polling time to 10 seconds but noticed it wouldn’t change the LED status or the status within the C4 app. 
 

Any future updates to include Sleep Mode? Also, any programming instructions to allow for lowering or raising light intensity like what’s allowed for the fan speed? 

Does the driver track the power state of the fan and light? I programmed the LEDs to turn on anytime either is on but if they turn on on their own (smart mode/motion) the LEDs don’t change. 

Mini or regular? What color? Kind of installation? Any other details? 

To anyone who has worked with this specific communicator/controller combo....The DSC manual states to use only RX+, TX+, and GRD. I have tried both the cable that it came with and a CAT5e to make the connection to a CA-1 and it doesn't seem to communicate. I have studied the wiring recommendation and understand that port 4 is ground, 5 is RX (connected to TX+), and 6 is TX (connected to RX+). Has anyone done anything different? 

The other issue I'm seeing is subsection 851[422] is 000000000000. Per the instruction, you use only the first 8, but I'm wondering if that code is invalid. Any thoughts? I have followed the instructions and don't believe I missed anything. I have tried both serial and IP connections and the only thing I see in Composer is that it shows the software version for the communicator, so I believe it is talking about it is stuck in "Establishing Connection"

I do have an EA3, but that is in the living room and connected to a switch that is then directly connected to the main switch. The CA-1 and DSC TL280LER are connected to the same switch. Not sure if that makes a difference or not.

Thanks, 

I definitely made that determination during testing of the buttons. By that point 5 hours had passed and only half of the work was done and half of the LEDs did not give status of buttons. I told them we were done for the day. The house was a new build that had this tech package which included C4, and unfortunately, that's the dealer we got. Funny enough, I actually mentioned the possibility of the driver and it was dismissed as not the issue. But hey, what do I know? Thanks for the feedback!

I have a chamberlain garage opener that I have paired to a z2io and magnetic door sensor. The Z2IO is wired so that it is connected to the magnetic contact sensor and a dry contact clicker that is connected to the garage door motor.

What I want to do is the following: I would like to have a Goodnight/Nap/Stay button on some the keypads that are in the bedrooms. Ideally, the button would arm the alarm as appropriate, verify garage door status, and if open, close the garage door, and lock entry doors. Is this possible? 

The dealer could not figure out how to do this with the z2io. Anytime I pressed the programmed keypad button during testing, it would cycle the garage door,  not close or verify closed. 

I plan on getting the Home Edition and would also like to know if I could program this myself. Thanks!

Replied! 

I have a new/unused Triad PAMP8 amp and PAMS8 matrix set that I need to sell or trade for an AVR that can handle 4ohms, 11 channels, up to 3 zones. Asking $2000 OBO otherwise. The amp will come in the original box. 
 

Thanks! 

Sorry for reviving a semi-old thread, but for the Haiku L, did you have to buy the wifi module to be able to connect it to C4, or does it already have something?

What’s the difference between a regular switch and an essential switch in terms of capability? Are you able to do double and triple taps? 

Does anyone have a current Triad product catalog pdf or something that can be posted? Specifically the speaker line? Thanks! 

Are any of the keypads configurable keypad dimmers or just regular keypads?

Thanks everyone! Got what I needed! 

Looking for a Triad PAMP8, an EA3, and some keypads and dimmer keypads. Hit me up! 

Still available? How much for EA3 alone?

I don't have the definitive answer. I basically left my local dealer because of similar issues and went with guys here on the forum to do things remotely. However, I did not use them for my home network because I think that is too difficult to do remotely (you're going to do 90% of the work anyway). Actually, I should clarify that I got a ton of help with my network and a lot of education from the guys here -- but I did the work, sometimes with specific guidance from the guys here.

In my previous home, I went from a new Apple Time Capsule to Luxul. Luxul was the network du jour for C4 at the time. It was a complete pain to manage so I finally sold it all and went with a Unifi.(Not to mention it was noisy as hell and my AV rack was in my office.) I got the USG, Cloudkey, 8 Port POE switch, 24 port switch and 2 AC-Pro APs. I leaned heavily on UBNT support and older version of the Youtube link below (don't know if the 2019 version is as good, but I learned a lot from the guy's channel.)

I also used NetAnalyzer to look for interference and dead spots. I had a 4400 sq ft single level home at the time, and 2 AC-Pro's were more than enough. I mounted them with clear view of the main lawn and backyard -- we had access on probably 4--5 acres and indoor access was rock solid. So that gave us great wired and wireless access. All of my C4 equipment, streamers, AVRs, everything was always wired anyway, so it did not really change Control4 issues. It took away the typical excuse, though, and that helped me more than anything in the long run.

For your "dropping" Internet, this sounds like a coverage and/or interference issue. Either that our your ISPs router is messed up.

Good luck and "I feel your pain."

 

 

Your unifi setup is very similar to mine and I watched the same videos as you. How do you have your C4 equipment configured within the unifi system? Do you give it full access or under an IoT network? I’m planning on using my C4 for my DSC alarm so it has me wondering lately. 

V1 or V2?

My house has 2 zones for audio. One is an exterior zone with 2 Triad OD25 speakers and the other zone is an interior zone that will use 4 in-ceiling speakers and an in-ceiling sub. This indoor zone is located in the living room and will not be split into different zones. We do not plan on adding additional zones in the future. That being said, we only need two audio streams at most, which means I only need an EA-3. We only plan on using Pandora, Spotify or our iPhones for music. If I acquire a Triad TS-PAMP8, do I need to have the TS-PAMS-8 matrix to make this work, or does the Triad amp work with the EA-3? The EA-3 does not have any RCA connections, so I don't see how a physical connection is made.
