There are drivers out there for control4. No way I would switch. That HAI panel can do all kinds of stuff. Yep. I have the Leviton/HAI Omni Pro II and the driver for Control 4. All is working great here. Although the driver is pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanchow Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 We have 3 alarm systems drivers coming this year starting with a new Elk M1 driver next month. ecschnei 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinom Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Would love to see a driver for 2GIG GC3. Elan is the only control company right now with it, would be great if there was a C4 driver too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think C4 should reach out to 2GIG and try to partner up on a driver, if they haven't already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went the same route with same vendor. Note that even if they do the programming you still have to associate each wireless device onto the keypad or wireless transceiver when you install them, which can be really time consuming with a keypad only. The software helped a lot. Its also useful for debugging and looking at the event history, There is a link to it in athread on this board if you search for it.

Adidaswood Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 That's good to know. Maybe I will look into tracking down that software. Seems like I might run into the need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3D - Benn Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Texecom is great but I'm still unsure on the status or reliability of the new driver which uses the latest alarm GUI? Last I heard it was pretty unstable, but the old driver + GUI will work fine. Would be nice if i was wrong though and its been updated to work reliably on the new interface and driver.

Destroyer of Worlds Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I'm going with Simplisafe in their 2018 line. Rationale is I really don't need it integrated with C4 (which would be defeated if they cut the internet) and in 2018 the whole scheme was redone for encryption so no more PIN intercepts and firmware upgrades so patches can be applied.

We've just had one on the bench for the last 2 weeks and will NOT be offering IP integration to clients. We could get it to set and un-set area 1 fairly reliably from a TS, but other areas were doing really weird things like setting the wrong area, or un-setting all areas when it should only be un-setting one area. It also decided to stop giving feedback one afternoon, requiring a reboot of the alarm system to get it to come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Programming is super easy and end users like homeowners can change user codes and access very easily. If you need multiple partitions, access control or door control it's all there as well. System must be hardwired they're wireless options are weak Thanks recommending the wired option versus the wireless version. Since I have the infrastructure already and I can leverage on the existing infrastructure. I have made my research and established that the DG85 (the wired solution) beams are certified and they integrate well with 3rd party products, and they are more reliable than wireless in terms of network packets distribution and the cost is less than the wireless solution in cases that there is hard wired infrastructure already. My installer recommend the PMD85 (wireless solution) and after careful thought, I assumed that the he might have found the easier way of installation. What are the other benefits of choosing a Paradox solution that is wired versus non-wired? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the other benefits of choosing a Paradox solution that is wired versus non-wired? There are a few main benefits of choosing wired over wireless. 1 reliability 2 maintenance 3 cost And with Paradox the TM70 Keypads MUST be hardwired to the system. So you will need some wiring in place regardless. Now what your talking about are motion detectors wired vs wireless. And the same things ring true for that as well. The wired stuff is more reliable, you don't need to change batteries / maintain them and its way way cheaper. For standard motion sensors we use the Paradox NV5. Its nothing super high tech but they work well, look very nice as they are very small, and they are super cost effective. If the wiring is in place there is literally no reason to go wireless other than the insaller is lazy and wants to save him some time on the install. Or perhaps gouge you for service calls when the batteries die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfaslov Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Quick question...is the Paradox driver supported in os3.xx? I'm about to update my whole C4 system and need to know this ahead of time! Please and thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
