Hi All - first time poster. Nice to meet everyone. I am at the early stages of building a new home (7,250 square feet incl basement). I plan to put in a full smart home system with all the bells and whistles (panelized lighting, full home audio, HVAC controls, A/V, security cameras, etc). I'm...

My C4 installer showed up yesterday and informed me that C4 Zigbee is somehow different than the rest of the Zigbee universe and my Kwikset Zigbee smart door locks won't work (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06WD6N9VF). Only the locks direct from C4 are supported (with their markup, of...

I spoke to my installer over the weekend to outline the C4 setup for my house. They'll be doing a fairly complex (for me) install to include the DSC security system, 5 Luma cameras, A/V distribution for three rooms (theater room, living room TV, and patio TV), whole home audio (Anthem MDX16)...

I have been a hostage of Control4 for the past 7 years. This is a dealer-focused system, meaning you will have to pay for everything little quirk that occurs because you have to be Einstein in order to do anything yourself. My nightmare included a company in the Phoenix Area called Independent...

I'm moving into a home that has a main level living room that is pre-wired for 5.1 theater setup. All of the speaker wires and TV HDMI over cat6 terminate in the basement. So I will need to be able to turn on the TV in the living room but control the receiver, cable, blu-ray, etc in the...

I have an older Control4 HC-300 controller that came with a house I built in 2011. It only controls the living room home theater, 5 light switches and the thermostat. I would like to add more connected devices and am debating between expanding the Control4 system or going with a more...

Hello, everyone. I'm nearing the end of a 16 month basement project (don't use relatives!) and am thinking of adding control4. My friend owns a company that ran all of the cat6, speaker wire, etc... and recommended a control4 system. I'm not sure if it makes that much sense for me right now. I...
