#LOXONE VS CONTROL4 TV#
How do you want to control the system? A hand held remote - I cannot see watching TV using a phone/tablet device. Others on here talk about Charmed Quark as a DIY system. Again its not a set up for everyone, but just realize how locked down (or in some instances not locked down) the system is. You need a dealer to add hardware to your project but a dealer can do that fairly quick especially a good remote dealer you can find at - end of day once you get settled into the house - how often do you add stuff? In a typical year I may add a new streaming box or a light switch or whatever - 5-10 mins of work for a remote dealer to do while you are at work and you come home and its in your system and you can do all the programming. Just an FYI - C4 has Composer Home Edition which gives you 100% programming control of your system, it is a 1 time $149 fee. Also add conduit so you can run new wire easily in the future.Īs far as C4, will give you 80% who love C4 vs here which is 80% who hate C4 - this is a DIY forum so they will knock any dealer program. Its a very generic statement but just saying Ethernet is a worthwhile pre wire adjustment. Ethernet Cat5e or 6 never really go bad - they can be repurposed for some types of blinds, cameras, IR Buds if needed, etc. Wiring is not really different - so just wire wire wire.
