It can show lock and unlock status now as well as toggling it for usage. Favorites don't replace experience buttons. You would favorite the experience button itself. The experience button would work exactly like it did before, but on the main screen (status updates as well as the action of the experience button). Along with experience buttons, you can favorite channels, music services, specific albums / playlists, lights, lighting scenes, categories (Comfort / Security / Cameras / Lighting / Watch / Listen), specific devices under those categories (specific camera, thermostat, security system, etc.) and many, many other things. Favorites, along with 'favorite rooms' and using the swipe to go room to room *totally* transforms the UI.

I missed that part...There are two Concord4 drivers, one old one and one new one. If your GUI has the “big round button” on the alarm page, you’re using the new one. The new one will continue to work. If you’re still on the old one, a dealer can swap out the driver as part of the upgrade process.

Obviously not sure what one is in your project, but worst case your dealer will have to swap out the blind driver as part of your upgrade. (But if I were a betting man, I’d say you already have the compatible driver installed.)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk msgreenf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could go the Ebay route and purchase not too expensive EA1's and touchscreens. If you have a lot of speaker points you could go Sonos and not worry about your OS upgrade being tied to your sound system equipment. Control4 supports 13,500 third party products, you might be better off buying cheaper tablets with wall mounts, I/O extenders, doorbell cameras. I get questions on my system all the time because of my touch screens. It's kind of a showcase for the product, but they will be being replaced by sheet rock now. There is no way I'm spending $1k a screen every five years, this is not an iPhone. Bottom line, the less Control4 branded products you have the less you need to worry about swapping equipment every major OS release.

This has been my philosophy and it has served me well. I have a good size whole home system with security, 8 zones of whole home audio, 4 video zones, cameras and lighting control and the only Control4 equipment I have is a EA-1 and 4 remotes for the video zones (I have an HC-250 in my den too but it is just really doing IR so I’ll probably just replace it with a global cache). I have no complaints. I’ve been saying for awhile that the EA-1 is the best deal in all of pro automation. Can easily power a whole home.

nevets23 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 So for clarity, it's not even possible to purely use HC-250s in a project as zigbee APs on 3.0? I understand not supporting the main functionality, but simply having to trash them in a project that is only using them as APs would be a big bummer. Furthermore, again for clarity, could you have an HC-800 as your main controller (running 3.0) as long as you aren't using the video output, and have HC-250s in your project running on (2.10) purely for IR and as a zigbee AP? I'm guessing not, but hoping I will be surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
