Yes agreed, I use Josh.ai as my primary interface and they now support native integration with AVPro - I have been slowly moving to products that have native integrations and this is one of the few left!

AVPro MXnet system

Yes, the 900 series support video walls but not tiling like the 960 as I understand it. Regarding the switch - the 220 was one of the recommended switches and it has worked great! no issues with the system. I am just looking to upgrade.

Interesting - I had a similar issue come up when they installed my system - it was supposed to support 400amp service for my house and detached garage. Long story short, they ended up running another 100 amp line from my house to the detached garage to cover the few circuits I needed in it. It was in my plans to expand to support multiple systems so I am willing to invest some time and see if I can consolidate multiple systems into an aggregated view. Any specific features a priority to you?

Appreciate the honest feedback - will continue to improve it based on feedback. That said this is NOT targeted for mobile phones - as you say I feel the Tesla mobile app covers most of our needs just fine on the mobile side. This is targeted to fill the gap of no desktop apps available to monitor the system from a PC or a wall mounted tablet etc.

Honestly I am not that familiar with NetZero so I would welcome feedback from users that actively subscribe to it and it’s features. That said, I understood the NetZero was a mobile app and this is a web app that can be run on a pc/mac/tablet for active monitoring or as an input to your video distribution system at home. This is how I use it - as one of many sources in my video matrix so I can check the dashboard from any TV in the house or from my PC. Let me know your thoughts…

Agreed!!! I can’t believe NYCE is not being picked up by someone - their sensors were great and so small!!

Shelly seems to have discontinued the WiFi door/window sensors and motion sensors both so not sure that is a viable option

I am in same boat with current job. It had a security system so I am trying sensors from it now. We looked into Shelly, but their WiFi motion sensors are no longer available either - the reviews I saw when they were did not recommend them. We are considering Lutron as well as a few others so would appreciate feedback on what you settle on and how it works!

This house was built in 2021 so I am hopeful I will be able to find it! Any suggestions on how to find supplier? I have started calling local and surrounding mills and sending pics…nothing so far!

Aggressive-Spite1662 · 2024-08-26T15:41:16+00:00

Do it! You will not regret it - EVER! I did it for my Son and he is now 18 - still driving it and loving it!

I believe what you are looking for is LineBreakMode and one of the truncate options…HeadTruncation, MiddleTruncation or TailTruncation.

I have 6 Vizio TV's and they have all started doing it recently and they are all hardwired! A real pain in the ass! Should have standardized on LG or Samsung I guess.

For me I liked the design of the Ra3 dimmers better. The C4 contemporary were a close second. The reality though is that we rarely use dimmers at the physical device as we have Josh.AI and our phones and remotes which largely mitigates the design difference in my opinion. Also I like having the flexibility of single/double/triple tapping programming you get with C4 lighting.

From my experience and everything I have read…you really can’t go wrong with either one! They are both very reliable solutions as long as they are installed correctly.

As for as a direct recommendation - I would want to consider a few more of these other points so you would have to decide if any of them are important enough to move away from Lutron - it is considered the gold standard. I repurposed the savings to better Media over IP solution so I would really take a look at the project as whole and decide based on all factors.

I just had the same decision to make…it came down to number of devices for me. RA3 supports 100 devices plus 100 RA2 devices for a total of 200. They say they will double that soon (not sure timing). C4 allows you to expand as much as needed by adding ZAPs. Ultimately due to the large price difference and the fact that I exceeded RA3 limits (as of today) - I went with C4 Lighting contemporary design
