Mine is set up this way and works great! Mitch (msgreen) did the remote programming for me. On 1/31/2019 at 11:27 AM, msgreenf said: yup! This is the best way to do it today and I am happy to help anyone else set it up! Do you know If this is possible using Amazone Echo Inputs instead of the Dot? Also, would the Album Playlist, Coverart etc show uo on the C4 touchscreens, TV's etc: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame about the lack of C4 display. Is there anyway (even using Apple Airport Express’s, as I have about 4 doing nothing) to use the C4 display for album, playlists, cover art, etc using the outputs of any devices similar?!

Sonos connect or port would show album art. I have some dedicated to rooms (family room and kitchen, outdoor, and media room) and hardwired echos for much less important rooms (master bath and garage) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waring192 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Sorry, did you say Sonos port for album info etc? Do you not use the built in music server for the EA3,5 and HC800? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you use an echo then once it starts playing c4 will see that as long as the amp/matrix has audio sensing but there is no way to get the metadata of what is playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon2828 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I mentioned this to one of the C4 employees that is on here and listening. Ability to use Alexa to turn on and then control music from Amazon Music native app on the EA controller would be absolutely great.

Really now you could buy the echo input instead of dots Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk Hello, I have a Denon receiver with HEOS, Control4 audio matrix and Amazon dots in the house. Is there a way to direct HEOS from Amazon dot and use that as Control4 source? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interested in doing some remote programming? Separately there is a HEOS C4 driver, what is a good use for it if any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
