TundraSonic Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 By your standards, is this install Good, Bad or Ugly? The story: TV in master occasionally wouldn't work and then stopped working completely. Same for in-ceiling audio in master bath from ATV (other audio worked). The setup is a single Apple TV that feeds 4 TV's in the master suite including audio breakout to C4/Triad system for in-ceiling speakers in master bath & shower. Hardware is located behind an access panel (a very large and difficult to maneuver access panel!) in a luggage storage closet. Removed the access panel and everything started working again. I'm thinking I'll mount a plywood panel on the lower half of the area that's currently open and move the ATV & C4 down to that, secure the wires a bit better and hopefully it should be solid.

msgreenf Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Wall mount is fine. Cable management is poor Dueport 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the panel blocking zigbee reception to that controller or something? If you're using the older (non-WiFi) remotes that were trying to talk to that controller and there's not a good C4 Zigbee mesh in the primary suite otherwise then that may have been the intermittent issue? Just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Thrown together to say the least: tjhat could be done cleaner, and should have used made to size cables, or at least much shorter ones for some. If the access panel was metal, that could certainly block zigbee as per above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Africa C4 user Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 The manifold for the water based underfloor heating seems to have been neatly installed… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAV Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Could the panel have been trapping heat? Sloppy isn't likely the cause of your trouble. For the small amount of equipment, make a 'cabinet box' using the area above the orange conduits, and cut it's opening into the panel. Solves heat, and provides access, and clean up.

Time2Jet Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Mount a wall rack 6-12u and be done with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mujtaba.khokhar Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Bit of a disaster that… like @RAV and @Time2Jet said put all the equipment in a small rack and be done with it. Thanks Muj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
