USMC_10 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Am planning a master bath renovation and am looking to install a Smart Shower system. The two that stand out are U by Moen and Kohler DTV+. Which of these has C4 integration? If both, which is the better option? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lippavisual Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Neither do. Closed systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMC_10 Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 Bummer. So no smart shower integration options for C4 at all? Any vendor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggzlot Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 There is basic stuff for steam showers. If interested try mr steam. I went with steamist and the driver was having issues and the driver developer just ignored me and my dealer. After a few attempts I was done chasing them and now I have a “dumb” steam shower.

Lol! Yep amen. Nothing like a steam shower triggering on its own and coming home from work with a wet humid bathroom. Some things are better off dumb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo1738 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Moen U does support Alexa integration though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMC_10 Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 Good to know, thanks! Although how does it support Alexa if it's a closed system as lippavisual highlighted? Closed to C4 but not closed to Amazon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo1738 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I'll be looking into some IFTT way to send message to moen based on my calendar. Will be a while though before I'm there. House just getting all the mechanicals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turls Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I've got a Moen IODigital that is starting to go on the fritz (this was their initial offering from 2010), has anybody done anything lately with U by Moen? If it works with Alexa, you'd think there would be some basic integration into C4 either using the Alexa integration or through IFTTT.

jreinardy Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Kohler DTV+ now has an optional Konnect module that allows control from a mobile app and has an Alexa skill as well. I am not aware of any Control4 integration there either though. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaphod Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 And a slightly more recent repository for an Alexa Skill to control the Kohler DTV+ in Javascript on Github https://github.com/macelano/showerSkill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackfiveo1 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 bumping this to the top, any one know of any shower systems that play with control4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo1738 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Truly as far as I know nothing with direct full integration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made an experience button too, if helpful (below). MrSteam.c4z 2.07 MB · 0 downloads Well Mr Steam also has a driver, I have Steamist. I could probably wire up something but I decided against messing around with it. Ideally if the steam shower was on and say someone rang the doorbell, some lights could flash or something like that. Also Steamist has their app locked down so you can only start the steam shower if you are connected to your home network. Let's say I was leaving the grocery store and wanted to start the steam shower so when I get home its at the right temp; I could do that because I have a VPN set up on my phone but I didn't do that on my wife's phone so she couldn't. Lastly, I am a bit OCD so I love having a goodnight mode and would be good to know if someone left the steam shower on when we hit goodnight (though since it mostly works with a countdown timer this is practically impossible but when I ordered the Steamist before using it, I didn't realize that) These aren't major things so I never explored more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nice thing about going relay/contact, IMO, is you don't have to deal with third-party apps., cloud, drivers, etc. Mr. Steam sells a module for this purpose, FYI. Perhaps the other brands do too.

dreres Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I have the same setup as @booch . However I am using a relay output on my Elk M1 alarm panel to trigger the Mr Steam module for the steam shower and an alarm input to monitor the state. I setup an experience button as well. Passes the wife test because she can kick off the steam remotely through 4sight or have Alexa turn it on when home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
