Thread: Any experience with Control 4 automation?

Geat info thanks for taking the time to post it. Although the Iphone control is not a deal breaker for me it would be very convenient and web access of some knid is a must. If the lisc fee is per phone I would need a min of $600.00 and 100.00 bucks a year!

Wireless should be a last option when doing automation systems. I would not recommend using control4 all wireless with your homes infrastructure. The more wires that you will be able to the run the better your system will perform and with less lag.

I am just a little uneasy doing that much wireless over a large multi story place?

I have all brick and stone interior walls separating the units and no basement so a no wire system would be best for my situation. Just wanted to see if anyone had feed back on the system here? I have an installer coming out to look at my place already but wanted some independent feedback!

Friend of mine has the control 4 system, I used his home on vacation a year ago and I found the system extremely easy and intuitive to use even for the wife and kids. Im likely going with the control 4 for my new home next year.

whats a squeezebox?

I have Control4 in my home and love it. With the new IPAD and Control4 Iphone app you can now have a 10" touchscreen for $800 dollars ($499 for IPAD + $300 for iphone app). Previous to the IPAD the 7" Touchscreen was $1499. I love my C4 system.
