Mark HT reacted to a post in a topic: New AVA remote for Control4

Maybe the market was just waiting for a decent product? They blew past their target on kickstarter. It is capable of operating stand alone, but will also have full integration with home assistant which obviously gives them a huge customer base. Anyway, I spent a lot of time searching and settled on the remote 2. Just thought the op might find it interesting. Sent from my XQ-AT52 using Tapatalk

This is the best remote I've come across so far: https://www.unfoldedcircle.com/remote-two Oled touch screen and backlit buttons. The best feature is you don't need c4

The controller is C-Bus, but it is based to some degree on a Logicmachine product. Enough that any LUA scripts for Logicmachine will work with minimal changes: https://www.clipsal.com/products/detail?CatNo=5500NAC&tab-document-1=0 C-Bus is a range of products, not just a protocol like BACNet. https://www.clipsal.com/products/c-bus-control-and-management-system- 43 replies

Because I was searching for info about C4 with NEEO to control Trinnov Altitude 16's when I saw a very misleading statement by AK-1. Say, for example you visited a C-Bus forum and read a comment saying "Hardly, while C4 may be a great universal remote, I said "smart home system" - not a standalone universal remote with minimal external integrations" You would firstly wonder why someone with obviously no idea about C4 would make such a comment, then probably feel obliged to set the record straight.- 43 replies

Firstly, I should point out I'm an end user. I don't make money from any of these systems and am here to find out if C4 can work for me. But... You said "Hardly, while it may be a great lighting system, I said "smart home system" - not a standalone lighting system with minimal external integrations." Which is very misleading and I thought it were only fair to point out the fact that C-Bus is very capable of being used as a full automation system. Just because YOU need a "driver" to make something work, doesn't mean it's not possible without a "driver". It is no problem at all to control home media, security, locks, a Samsung TV , etc. all in one "app". Now, I'm not suggesting it's the be all and end all for home automation, just that it's VERY capable (in the right hands at least...) Did I say I have 2 x NEEO remotes? What are you confused about? I actually have 1 original NEEO remote from before the C4 buyout and I really like it. That's what lead me to look into C4. What do you mean by overly simplistic red herring? You are obviously taking my comment about C-Bus as a slight against C4 and hence a personal insult (are you the founder or something?) Oh and you needn't worry about helping the OP. He has probably done more research than me and ended up going with C-Bus and Savant... Seriously, what upsets you so much about hearing C-Bus is more capable than you thought? I don't see how that would cause a problem for you?- 43 replies

Not at all. I'm here because I want 2 nice remotes to control my AV gear and like the NEEO hardware. (If they added play-pause-stop and backlight to the physical buttons...) Just thought I should point out some facts about C-Bus and it's capabilities whrn it comes to automation.- 43 replies

With a C-Bus Automation Controller it can do anything C4 can. Edit: A lot more customisable though. The controller is based off a LogicMachine product and quite powerful.- 43 replies
