I've been an Indigo user for about 15 years and have been spoiled by the ability to do my own stuff. I just bought a ridiculously large house that has a big Control4 setup. The original Control4 implementation and most of the electronics were installed around 2007. I thought I'd use this forum to solicit input on how to replace practically everything and/or integrate other things that are currently standalone. I've been in the house since the end January 2021 and I'm still discovering new things or researching stuff that I've discovered.
I'll get into details for each area as we go but here's a brief overview of the scope:
-15,000 sq ft house on 3.5 acres, detached one bedroom casita, covered bbq ramada, one attached garage and one detached garage
-Home theater
-Whole home in-ceiling audio and also outdoor audio in a front courtyard and throughout backyard (at least 16 zones...,that I know about), current sources are two Sonos units with Pandora, TuneIn, DirecTV, DVD changer
-Whole home video distribution (component video), current video sources are two DirecTV units, two Apple TV units, Blu-Ray, 100 disk DVD changer, Netflix/Hulu/Amazon, etc
-10 managed thermostats
-90% of light switches on Control4...and there's a lot of them
-house phone is on a Panasonic PBX
-entry gate to property with DoorKing keypad integrated to house phone
-doorbell at courtyard entry integrated to home phone
-various pool equipment with iAquaLink phone app
-Septic system with monitoring
-Closed circuit cameras
-GE NetworX security system
-low voltage landscape lighting
-irrigation system
The good thing is there's Cat5e and RG6 all over the place but it's a rats nest in the two distribution closets.
My first step is to clean up and replace the network infrastructure...that will be my next post.
I'm sure I've left off some big things but that's all the top-of-mind stuff. I'll be back after I eat with the first update.
Thanks all,
David
