The Power of Centralized Lighting | Control 4 Panel 

Dude you sound exactly like Matt Farrah from The Smoking Tire 😂 Cool vid

"Reduces wire in the home" also "we have two miles of wire in the home". I'd love a centralized lighting system, but it just wasn't an option with my builder and didn't seem practical at ~3,500 sq. ft. I ended up going the IoT route and replaced all of my switches with z-wave, added a z-wave relay to the fireplace, integrated WiFi locks, setup geofencing and a Hubitat z-wave hub. It is all integrated with Homekit and Alexa, so now I have voice control over everything (even from my watch - anywhere in the world), automatic lighting when I enter a room (if it is dark), my garage door opens when I arrive home and lights turn on, etc. It really is an interesting change of lifestyle when you add home automtion.

Doing all control 4 centralized at our new build on Martha’s Vineyard! Contemporary keypads are gorgeous.

Very Interesting. Great Work.

Very cool!

Great tech in a great house

Dude this is incredible

Let me say something controversial: if a smart home is working well, I should not need 12 buttons for a single room. I have a simple HomeKit smart home with lightwave switches and things just work as expected! Lights dim depending on the time of day, react to certain devices switching on and off and that with the combination of motion and presence sensors work like magic. I usually don't even think about my lights, I don't press a "morning" button in the morning because the lights just have the correct dimming level based on time and light level. Same story with heating, yes it's awesome to be able to ask an assistant to switch the heating on/off, or have control panels showing you the humidity and temp levels per room. But in my house heating and temperatures is just not something I think about at all. It is always just right! I don't remember having to interfere or check the temps in the last 6 months, it is always set to what I like and does its job in the background. I think the ultimate smart home simply knows what you like and things just happen automatically .. maybe we are not there yet, but at least that should be the goal and not 100+ buttons per house, etc.

Most people don’t understand this shit. I’m working on a $30M house in Scottsdale, AZ. It’s mind boggling how much $ the elite make. Centralized lighting will one day become standard once these builders understand it.

can you share the rack manufacturer you are using and the components you installed in the rack?

Reduces wire in the home, meanwhile you need to run every light back to the panel… lmao. It is dope though, I want one but they won’t let me install and program it myself.

Interesting to see how IoT is evolving

this is the future but idk how do this haha

Cool but not better than regular consumer smart home tech BUT very cool!

Have you heard of Loxone?

what happens in this house for the lighting if the network dies? can you still use the switches the same way and the audio?

I like tech but is this really needed? Do we really need our homes this complicated? And this possibly leading to people getting more lazy.
