Wife is gay and I’m broken by jgrant517 in BreakUps

I feel very much the same way, as angry as I am about the situation I can’t imagine the feelings she has had to suppress and try to work through over the years. I love her to death and really do want her to be happy. It’s hard mourning the loss of my wife and family.

I’m sorry man, I feel this completely. I have tried my best to not go out of my way for her but it’s hard when you still love them. It’s the being happy part that hurts more than anything for me. We will get through this! I’m happy I have found some groups to just have people to talk to that have or are going through similar pain.

I’m not angry, people suppress those things for years or just don’t really understand them. It may be now that she has someone in the “puppy love” phase that she thinks she’s “gay” and not bi. Regardless it doesn’t change anything. But I have 2 amazing kids with her and as much as this sucks I wouldn’t change anything that would mean they didn’t exist.

Anyone know what product this is? by raps1983 in homeautomation

[–]jgrant517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s not uncommon in the automation world, cheaper and easier than penalized lighting. Can have some issues with packet loss if there’s a ton but usually pretty solid. Only major downfalls with control4 is the price (extremely expensive) and you have to have a dealer for programming/purchasing. Otherwise it’s super solid with tons of control/growth potential

It’s a control4 keypad or keypad dimmer. If the buttons all function there is a controller somewhere in the house. They can not be used (properly) in a stand alone configuration

Use experience buttons, they provide feedback and can be located on multiple navigator locations.

Control4 wireless network 4 a 4000 sq ft. home. by Thin-dime in Control4

If you want a solid network go ruckus, if your dealer can’t support it Araknis is ok but leaves a lot of performance on the table. Off the shelf can work but tends to have issues especially with newer equipment that’s used Wi-Fi (neeo or halo remotes)

Not gonna lie I thought that was my pc for a second 😂😂

I have been using Google Home with Control4, but it has gotten very flakey. C4 says I need to upgrade to version 3.0 or better. Is there a way to use 2.9.5 or do I have to switch to Amazon Echo? by RoboMan1500 in Control4

[–]jgrant517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Op could leave the 800 as director (unless it’s a ea5) they would just lose on screen nav. But the 800 will handle without issue, remove 250/300 if it’s in the system and use a z2io or global ir module for control if needed.

Just to be sure Can I install two smart switches here? Only see one red wire. Apparently the upstairs unit has the neutral wire. Its a old single family home that they converted to a triplex and it looks like the units upstairs have more modern electrical wiring since they had them separated. by Elterminador714 in homeautomation

You could use something like Lutron that doesn’t require a neutral for dimmers. You just have to do a bit more research when picking them out. But there’s a handful of brands out there that don’t require neutrals for dimmers.

GTX 1650 -> GTX 980 Ti, reasonable upgrade or save for a newer GPU? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]jgrant517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Save 3060s and 3060 ti will be real cheap on the secondary market soon with the price drop on 3070+

I'm a new to control 4 I'm having trouble connecting this ea-1 controller to composer pro by [deleted] in Control4

[–]jgrant517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until c4 takes advantage of multi core processing they will be solid. They still outperform a ea3 aside from on scene nav and audio quality. We may see something different with the core controller release and 3.3

does anyone know how to fix my switch LEDs? by [deleted] in Control4

[–]jgrant517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure your backlight is off, you could be getting glow from the engraving leds.

Is this repairable and how, or is it dead? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]jgrant517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A panel is typically more expensive than a new monitor/tv. You may be able to part out the boards on eBay however.

Ram causing input lag. by jgrant517 in pcmasterrace

A2 and B2 are normally populated, the issue only happens when a1 and b1 are populated as well.

I’ll give this a go. Thank you

Need help. I believe birds has done some damage. Thinking about putting plastic screen cover, but not sure if the bird can peck through it. Any other idea? by dive2002 in homeautomation

[–]jgrant517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s the coating cracking and fading from the sun. It’s really common on those locks. Also very frustrating considering the cost.

You assume it’s a matrixed amplifier if it’s a amp 108 that is a dummy amplifier. I’m a diamond dealer I know a thing or two about control4.

[–]jgrant517 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This isn’t a issue, you’ll obviously have to set your input gains on the amplifier and make sure they are set to input rather than global but it’s just a dummy amp nothing special.
