Bought house with 2012 C4 system
We moved into a house that was renovated in 2012 with an extensive C4 lighting system. We reached out to the local dealer and have been told that due to the age we are looking at $3k minimum to start upgrading and that won’t integrate with our front gate.
We are both technical enough that that idea of being locked into a dealer managed system is very off putting. Also, we are an Apple based household and I want to be able to make shortcuts for lights and music in our home. As well, I want to be able to open the gate with Siri or geofencing.
Does it make sense to update the main computer of the house and jailbreak and tinker from there or start to try and piecemeal the system avoiding C4 altogether?
The current system is so old that the 3 control pads we have are leaking goo.
