  1. To add... SNPO offers both as in house brands. Matrix and matrix amp. Additionally, Episode is not the only game in town when it comes to matrix amps. Nor is Triad the only game in town when it comes to matrices.
  2. I *think* it's this one. https://drivercentral.io/platforms/control4-drivers/utility/keypad-enhancer/ There was a thread a while ago where lots of members chimed in with their best practices on keypads. Being new to keypads myself, it was really helpful. I'll see if I can find it, and I'll link back to it here.
  3. Yes. But you can also do hold to dim (or hold to brighten) on that same button. I initially played with the up down buttons for lights making them change based on the scene - it was a disaster (likely due to my programming, but it was just too hard for us to remember). I've learned to leave the keypads with the up down to be "fixed" to whatever button is above it (in our case, volume for music). In the few spots I have double gang keypads, I only put the up down button set on 1 of the keypads and just use a regular button on the other. I think domo has some cool drivers to make the up down assign to the last button you clicked (and then go back to something default). I don't remember which one though.
  4. I wonder if you could do this with splash tiles? @videostorm
  5. Dude. Ad-free subscription is literally less than $.03 a day. Or "stick it to the man" and run an ad blocker. Or just deal with the ads? I'm not judging. I just don't understand coming to a forum, from which you have clearly received value, to bitch about ads, while not bothering to hit the easy button. Hope you figure out a good solve.
  6. Probably have much better luck posting to terry love forums or similar...
  7. <vent> No offense to anyone (and certainly not to you, Andrew), but i have heard this "make sure you run fiber everywhere" argument since the mid 90s. I don't at all agree. Fiber to an outbuilding? Absolutely. Burial or aerial? Go for it for protection alone. Nether have f*ck titty to do with bandwidth. You truly have client devices pulling 40gbps bandwidth on your LAN? At home? Good on ya. But I'd suggest you fix that. Fiber for the next (non ratified) legacy system? Don't waste your money or your time. That's what conduit and $20 worth of pull cord are for (If you buy the tiny spools). Cable has a finite life. 10 year old "dark" fiber isn't even worth the time to terminate and test. It's faster and cheaper to pull it fresh. No offense to anyone. </vent>
  8. The jacket will not be "screed" proof. Run a conduit.
  9. Pulse eight (used to be zektor) has analog matrices that will cover up to 64 zones.
  10. The chowmain kasa driver (agent) is awesome. No need to bother your dealer to add or replace devices - you can do it from HE. Fwiw - even the super cheap non outdoor kasa plugs have a higher real world heat tolerance than they advertise (at least in my experience). I have a few of them installed inside of metal landscaping transformer boxes. I live in Texas, it's been over 100F daily most of the summer. They get much hotter inside those boxes. At $8 a pop, when they start acting stupid (usually a little over a year of being outside baked in the sun), I simply throw them away and replace them with another. I do have a couple of the outdoor rated (bulkier) kasa plugs. We use them at holidays when the DW wants to put a bunch of lighted crap outside. I quit bringing them in 3 years ago. They still work fine.
  11. You need a dimmer keypad for load control (and keypad functions). The configurable keypads wire up like an outlet and don't have the ability to control a load.
  12. On 3.3.3, ea3v2. I don't ever do lighting from the 260 (I actually realized that i barely use the 260 anymore). But mine appears to work fine across different lighting platforms (c4, kasa, lutron, shelly). I know that doesn't help, but I'm happy to share whatever data points you might want.
  13. They are compatible with dual fuel heat. Here is the installation guide. https://www.control4.com/docs/product/control4-wireless-thermostat-by-aprilaire/installation-guide/english/latest/control4-wireless-thermostat-by-aprilaire-installation-guide-rev-a.pdf
  14. You could disable chimes at the panel and set up chimes to be announcements in c4. Then manage it with programming.
  15. I apologize for the hijack. If I'm understanding, the fan speed controller can essentially become a "fixed layout" keypad and still switch control a load (as opposed to dimming a load) and give you programmable keypad buttons? Like one button to toggle the load and 4 buttons to use as a keypad?
  16. This is what I don't know (I only have 1 Tidal account that I rarely use), but it would be easy enough to test. Have her set one as public, add it, have her delete or add some tracks, see if it reflects. I know they are trying to make the playlists more "spotify-like" (or at least they were in 2022) and this is how it works in spotify...
  17. I only have 1 tidal account, but I'd have to think if she set her playlist as public, you should be able to follow it or add it to your account and see her updates. I might be totally wrong.
  18. you import into soundiiz (from tidal, into soundiiz), then from soundiz, disconnect your old tidal, add in your new tidal.
  19. I used tunemymusic years ago and did not like it. Soundiiz has all the services I wanted (and a much better sync vs just transfer) and did a better job of matching songs in my playlists between different services. Add in MFA auth and the ability to import into soundiiz (for keeping track of my playlists and connecting different accounts) and I was sold. I have never used freeyourmusic. Pretty sure all 3 have some basic tier or free trial so you can play around. YMMV.
  20. https://support.soundiiz.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015677033 I believe (have never tested it, I'm happy with soundiiz) that freeyourmusic allows multiple accounts on the same service. https://freeyourmusic.com/transfer-tidal-to-tidal
  21. I'd suggest setting up a sync through soundiiz (or something similar) as opposed to deleting and re+adding playlist.
  22. This works again. Thank you @msgreenf for reporting it to c4/snap!
