Don't write off the whole system just yet......I use @msgreenf for all my programming and new equipment installs.  He remotes into my system and makes the changes all for a very reasonable fee.  He makes it far more convenient that trying to get on a dealer schedule.

Just my .02......but he does fantastic work as do many others that are on this forum.  

 

 

Thanks for the referral! Been working with Mitch and he is great! Have HA controlling c4 lights and more automation on the way.

Correct. New light, dealer, new tv, dealer, new shade, dealer. Add a driver (other than a few basic ones) dealer. Add a roku want to use C4 remote, dealer. This is a dealer centric system that requires ALL device additions and drivers to be added by a dealer. End users can than program those devices themselves. 

Aack. Wrong system for me I guess  Hopefully can salvage the whole house audio, and will stick with Home Assistant for general automation.

Thanks eggz - unfortunately do not know in any reasonable detail what is there. Also don't know versions, OS,etc. There is a multichannel amp for whole house, two small "Control4 boxes" in the house, and a wall mounted touchscreen. We move in a week, so will have more detail then.

So even adding something like a new light switch requires a dealer and cant be done with HE?

Apologies for what must be a common question, but couldn't find an FAQ or intro content. Any links to good content?

We are moving into a house that has a Control4 system. It is used mostly for whole house audio, but also some light control. The house has an alarm, but I dont think it is integrated.

Do I need any account info from the current homeowner in order to establish my own login/account and to use the existing config?

I am a very technical user - currently running Home Assistant at current home. Will I be able to do things like OS upgrades and adding devices myself?

thanks!
