    New Remote Time

    Here's two videos that show the touch panel. The one video shows the theater mode I programmed in. When I press theater mode the video switches to the projector, TV turns off, screen drops, Lutron shade drops in the back, lights dim and turn blue and after 15 seconds the two front lights turn...

    New Remote Time

    I've run remotes from Harmony, URC, Control4 and more and this has been the most versatile to program how I want it. It does have to be professionally programmed but I am certified in RTI programming and do all the programming myself. I've also programmed URC, Control4, ProControl, RadioRa2...

    New Remote Time

    It's an RTI system. I run an XP6s processor with a KX7 touchpad built into the wall and a few different remotes. The main remote I use is the T4X. I have 6 audio zones throughout the house with 30 speakers between the house and pool/patio area. The RTI system controls all the sub systems like...

    New Remote Time

    I couldn't leave it alone. I did a complete re-program on our remote. I also installed new Lutron shades and Lutron RadioRa3 light switches that are all programmed into the remote.

    New Remote Time

    Installed a new touch panel in the wall a few weeks ago. We can control everything from the electronics, thermostat, lights, shades, fans, alarm, garage door and pool from the controller. I also reprogrammed all the remotes to look like the touch panel. My wife tells me I have an addiction and...

    New Remote Time

    Finally got the pool finished and programmed a waterproof remote. The remote can operate the TV, sound system and pool controls. It's a 2 way remote, so I can get a read out on pump speed, water temp, what pool features are on and audio feedback. We can use the remote to turn on pool lights...

    New Remote Time

    Over the last few weeks I've been redoing the different pages on my main remote. All the pages are duplicated on our phones. New Home page: Updated lighting page: Select the room at the top and then control lights or fans in that room. For the Watch TV page, I added a weather icon next...

    New Remote Time

    After taking some time away from the programming, I started setting up the voice control this week. I'm using Home Butler for this. The reason I chose Home Butler is that it uses Alexa and it's setup to use simple commands. I don't have to say "Alexa, tell Home Butler to turn on Living Room...

    New Remote Time

    Here is the Apple TV page I created. I kept this page pretty plain because Apple TV is fairly limited on what commands it will accept. The volume and surround mode info are pulled from the receiver and give me a real time readout on what is going on. The three surround mode buttons are a...

    New Remote Time

    Lol, Good question. I would guesstimate that I have between 30 and 40 hours in it so far. Unfortunately I have to create the pages for three different screens plus program a companion remote and an 8 button keypad. Earlier this week I decided to incorporate a Sonos Port so I had to reprogram...

    New Remote Time

    I've been creating pages for my phone to operate everything in our home. Nothing in my house uses direct IR so I can operate everything from a phone or the different remotes. I created pages for the phone that match the remotes touch screen. Here I can select the room and then control the...

    New Remote Time

    Update: It's been two weeks since I received the new remote and thought I would post an update. RTI is more complicated to program than all the others I have done. With Control4, you program the connections in to the system and Composer will map out what needs to come on and what the inputs...

    New Remote Time

    Thank you both for the great feedback! Dave, I will be installing and programming everything myself as I did with all the other remotes. I will also install and program the switches. I would say you definitely went the right way with Harmony for a single room. The Harmony remotes started...

    New Remote Time

    I've had a number of different smart remotes over the years and have decided to try yet another one in our home. I ran different Harmony remotes for a number of years, URC for only a year and in the last 5 years I've had Control4. I thought about updating the Control4 system but they still run...
