We have one in the works 👍🏽

It’s a great question and we will be happy to answer it. On this specific project that you commented on, we did very little custom programming because it’s a spec home and we create all custom programming based on clients lifestyle and selections. Once we meet the new home owner we turn over the system and will go over automation options. We do have some videos that show automation and custom programming more in detail go check them out. in some cases we shoot the videos during the installation process so not everything is completed by the time it makes it to TH-cam. We handle all custom programming once the system is completed. Also Content creation is a lot harder and more time consuming than some people think. game planning, creating entertaining, educational and still valuable while pleasing everyone is hard 😂 however your feedback is appreciated, will make sure to show more of that on future videos. 😉 Our goal is to always improve as a business and now that we are doing TH-cam we are focusing attention to doing the same with our content. We will get better and better as we go, we promise. Thanks for watching and hope that answered your questions.

Yes this can be done with an iPad however you lose the intercoms features. Thanks for watching

We went with IP controlled 70V amps from episode To keep everything online. This also give us the options to adjust and troubleshoot remotely. (also have a budget we had to work with and It’s a lot of separate zones of audio so we also didn’t need Big amps.) Thanks for watching

Thanks!!! In this project it’s not really distributed video. We are using the HD zone out of the AVR to send the same source to 2 locations. If video distribution is needed then we do binary or av pro edge . Either matrix or Moip. (Just depends on the project and budget) Thanks for watching and engaging with the content.. it’s appreciated Have a great one

🤔 …/

There is better options for speakers but they definitely don’t sound horrible.. (well some of the really cheap stuff does but it’s rear) In the Tv. Different strokes for different folks 🤷. 😂 Thanks for watching

@empireavservices well sound is subjective .

Hey bro thanks for watching and your comment.. it helps the analytics. Have great one.

Thanks for watching. Hard to get them in your space without buying them but you can definitely listen to them. Magnolia inside of some Best Buy may have them as a demo. If you get them let us know what you think..

Thanks for your input. Unfortunately we couldn’t make the room any bigger and the client didn’t let us angle set up towards the seating area. “Guy’s this is the corner my wife set for it please make it work” In a lot of cases client prefer esthetics over acoustics. Regardless of your comment and your thoughts. They still sound amazing And client was happy. Thanks for watching

We agree is It the best placement or spacing however this is what we had to work with. regardless of you being in disbelief the system still sounds amazing and client is happy.. Please understand that the client will always win and in some cases people Prefer esthetics over acoustics. Either way thanks for clicking!!! Maybe on a home automation video you’ll change your mind Have a great one

Thanks 🙌🙌

🤦‍♂️

We don’t integrate Sonos with c4 (if anything just for volume but we always make it clear to our clients that the integrated is limited) we design everything with triad matrix/amps or episode .. if we use Sonos is for a home that only has home audio and the client is requesting it. if it’s linked with other smart devices, we integrate Josh.ai. Thanks for watching

All the zapping can’t be good for the heart 😂…

6th ces for us but first time shooting content. It only gets better and better! Thanks for watching…

Thanks for watching! 🙏 One more posted and one more on the way!

We could be wrong on this but we don’t believe there is a display that has those features built in. (there is some TVs that allow 4 but we will have to more research on 6 inputs There is way to accomplish that with components, media over IP and/or matrixes but don’t know of a single device. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching

🤔 you might be on to something but biometric reader will also increase cost..

The most common used commands have buttons. Everything else it’s on the screen. If you look at the new Samsung and tv remotes the removed all the extra buttons. Thanks for watching

@@empireavservices I have one of the new samsung TV remotes - switched back to my Harmony One.

Not saying anything is wrong with buttons, just saying companies are minimizing the size and amount of buttons they put on remotes.. Harmony created some really good remotes for a great price..

We use the term ‘home automation’ because it’s more recognizable and understandable to the general public. While ‘custom integration’ is technically accurate for what we do, most people searching for services like ours are familiar with terms like ‘smart homes’ or ‘home automation.’ It’s all about making the technology and its benefits more accessible to everyone! Thanks for watching

Usually Audio people care about speakers.. yes it’s a beautiful. Thanks for watching

This particular client did. And also…Serious entertaining always involves a serious audio presence.

It works like an extra security keypad, You still need the code to disarm it. Thanks for watching…

😁

😔

@empireavservices thank you for your answer 🥲🥲

No Josh can be used as a stand alone system. Check out this video… th-cam.com/video/Sgltx8SCBXM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UMNyJNQdFS29pkXb Thanks for watching

The coax will stay in the can, There is extra cat and audio cables in the wall that lead to the bottom opening that had enough slack to reach the rack. Thanks for watching

Control4 training and certification is all done directly with control4. you will still need the AV knowledge om how to swt things up, C4 will just a allow you to control them from 1 place via (iR, IP, Relays, Contact and serial) hope that helps.

Individual IP or IR control instead of the same IR signal being blasted to TVs at the same time. Hope that helps.

Trying to find the sweet balance between AV and entertainment… some videos are a little more for the techs and some are for everyone. Thanks for watching

@@empireavservices Understood. You can't make all of the people happy all of the time. Heck, let's face it, if you can make a few people watching TH-cam moderately pleased occasionally, you're doing well.

We are trying but it’s hard 😓.. 😂 We appreciate you running in.. centralized projects are one the way 👍

Very little sit down Tv watching happening in this room if that makes it any better. It’s really the only to put a tv in this room or where else can we put one? Thanks for watching

Agreed. Poorly designed room honestly. TV above fireplace is terrible for ergonomics, our necks and overall viewing experience. Not the uploaders fault, but whoever designed the layout.

@@empireavservicesGood evening sir could you be so kind as to share with us the city and state where this house is please?Usually a realtor or when people show house they mention the city and or state or both.

We didn’t wire this home, Client reach out to us during the trim stages and wasn’t wired for doorbell. We tried adding one but he said he didn’t care for having one since to access his property you had to get through the gate… Once he moved in he wanted to add something at the door but didn’t want to cut walls to get a wire there. We always recommend at least a chime or a ds2 mini but You probably know how that goes. “Hey I know I told you no but……” 😂 Thanks for watching

I guess you can say that.. more like different levels or floors. 🙌🙌 Thanks you for watching!

It’s a big one!!! Thanks for watching

Thank you!!!! We appreciate you watching. Have a great one

Thanks for your comment.

Do you have a website or contact info for those interested in a term rack and offsite build?

Thank you!!! It’s a complete system. Just like every brand they all have a few things that could be fixed or improved but over all. We love it.

👍

Wow my guy, you really make time to leave a negative comment on every post 😂. It’s ok we appreciate the views And no worries stay tuned for our next walkthrough video, we show the back of the rack just for you. 😉

I totally get how much of a pain it can be when things don’t work as they should. With smart homes, there are electronics involved, so some issues can pop up every now and then, but it shouldn’t be a regular thing. Sometimes it’s not even the control system itself-it could be things like settings, software updates, new devices added to your network, or even how the system was originally set up. The age of the system can also make a difference. If you’ve got a Control4 system installed within the last five years and it’s giving you constant trouble, I’d recommend writing down the issues and reaching out to another local Control4 integrator for a second opinion or a system check-up. Thanks again for watching, and I hope this helps!

@@empireavservices One problem is that when the power fails, everything has to be reset.

Adding an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) in the rack for your network and control system will keep that equipment from resetting when you have outages. You can also have them set static IP addresses for all of the equipment so you never have to reset it. (certain devices you have to manually power once if there’s a outage so we can get back on the network) Hope this helps

🙌

Thanks.. we made a lot of changes and improvements to our content weekly. Check out the last video, we’ve taken all the feedback on music and music selection and implemented into our editing. 👍
