mixmixmix Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 the home heartbeat (hhb) valve can be turned on and off repeatedly for a long time. Its a full volume ball valve with a serious gearbox and such. At CES 2007 control 4 had a demo of hhb working with control 4 but I'm not if the integration stuff is complete yet. Worth asking control4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixmixmix Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 In the meantime you can also connect the hhb basestation up to a pc using the usb port and do your own integration with control 4 using a pc for the gateway. A hacker/maker site for hhb is coming soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 mixmixmix,Thanks for the info. I was unaware it was not just a 'shutoff valve'.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danlevine Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 When C4 goes to the official Zigbee Stack it will be possible to integrate with other Zigbee Device Manufacturers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 If you're waiting 10 minutes for the water to heat up, you've got *other* plumbing issues, my friend.RyanEAbsolutely. I wait 6 seconds and it's only that long because I have six foot hose on my Grohe handshower; other faucets are no more than 3-4 seconds.And the shower temp is always exactly the same regardless of the temperature of the water coming from the tank.Hot water recirculation system and a Grohe thermostatic valve.

bebster Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Check out the Grundfos UP 10-16 / "Comfort" Pump. Here's a link http://www.grundfos.com/web/homeus.nsf/Webopslag/PAVA-53MKRN This has a timer built in and will get hot water to the fixtures so there's no wait. I have 2 of them and they work great.

It's plumbing, not gadgets, that allows this to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weepee Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I use a Kohler DTV shower system.www.us.kohler.com/performanceshowers/dtv.jspIt has 6 programmable buttons for different users or settings.

ILoveC4 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 You guys are too fancy. I twist the big bronze know counter clockwise from 6 o'clock to between 10 o'clock and 11 o'clock, wait about 30 seconds then hop in.A shower is a shower. Mine has two shower heads and I thought was too much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrenGM Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Actually I think its a great use for Control4! I've used both the Kohler and Moen (versions of their digital interfaces and like the simplicity of the moen and also the cost). Do you know if anyone has a driver for Moen for Control4? Some consumer links are below for reference:Shower and control: http://www.moen.com/moen/chrome-iodigital-tm-shower-only/_/R-CONSUMER%3AT3405Spa and control: http://www.moen.com/moen/chrome-iodigital-tm-vertical-spa/_/R-CONSUMER%3A295Tub and control: http://www.moen.com/icon/chrome-high-arc-roman-tub-faucet-includes-iodigital-tm-technology/_/R-CONSUMER%3AT9621Thanks!

turls Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Resurrecting an old thread, glad I saw Moen here, I thought I was going to have to spend the money on Kohler. Anybody doing anything with C4 and these types of showers yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turls Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I just did a Google search on Moen IO Digital and found it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turls Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Well, I'm taking the pluge with Moen and my plumber is on board. Nice install video available on YouTube. Helps I am down to studs in the bathroom at the moment. All the really cool stuff that the Kohler DTV II system has is stuff you'd probably just do with C4 anyway.Sales guy said capacity wasn't as big of a deal as water pressure (I only have 3/4" pipes coming into the house). I have good water pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
