My Control4 integrator has been telling me ever since the announcement last year that the black version is still not available.. which I find hard to believe 7 months later. Therefore, has anyone else in the UK been having a hard time getting hold of one of these? Or are they just fobbing me off?

Hi, I'm looking for a front door lock that compatible with Control4 in the UK. My Control4 integrator believes that only the Yale Assured Lock will work with the system? "There is only one off the shelf smart lock compatible with CONTROL4. Its a YALE one. Unfortunately it’s the large ugly one - Yale Assure Lock. The slim version isn’t compatible. There are some doors that come with them inbuilt which we can open." I was wondering whether you know of any others in the UK that are compatible? I am using EA-5 and Control4's zigbee light switches throughout the house if that helps

Hi, I'm looking at installing the Control4 wireless switches in my new build home. I'm just wondering what your experience with Control4 faceplates, buttons and engravings has been like over time? Also trying to work out whether it's worth upgrading from matte colours (£5) to metallic range (£26 per faceplate). If you have any pics and how long you've had them, it would be welcomed!

Aw that's such a shame that it won't be ready in time for my build. Would have saved me a lot of money! I spoke to my Control4 expert this morning and he said Control4 do have a wireless switch solution. Which he has previously denied. So I'm not too impressed as all along I've felt he's only recommended Control4 products and the most expensive options available. Which I understand why, but it's not great from an authorised platinum dealer!

Hi, I'm currently working on a new build for myself. I've got a Control4 expert working with me and has done my electrical plans. He gave me a quote for everything I needed and the Control4 lighting system alone came to a total of about £12-15k - see quote. As this was not in my budget, I looked for alternatives and found LightwaveRF. I bought the starter pack and handed it to my Control4 expert. Last night he tested it and said: So, I have gone back to him to ask for alternate wireless switches. I have also emailed LightwaveRF customer support to see if they have any plans for gen2 drivers (which I doubt will be ready for me moving in). The plasterboarding in the house started last Wednesday, so there isn't much time to retrofit any wires for wired switches. Therefore, I was wondering what other wireless switch solutions are out there for UK residents? (Not interested in wireless bulbs due to them being ineffective if the switch is turned off) Thanks in advance, it's much appreciated!
