The carrot at the end of stick for me is the programming, which the current dealer is promising to give to me once we finish this.
So, we go.......
To catch up:
I currently have a Prodigy system with a PMC-2 processor.
I have a PTX3 remote which no longer works. Because of bad experiences with it, I need to replace it.
My options are: 1) Get a PLX3 remote. Is this still the latest Prodigy remote? This would be simplest way. If I get one of these, it is a simple swap. No harm no foul. Gets reprogrammed and its done. Correct?
2) Get a third party remote. If I do this, I would need: a) a new remote like an MX-850 that I have b) a gateway like a Crestron CNRFGWA-418 c) a new processor because the PMC2 allegedly could not do this. Is this correct? If I get a new processor, my choices would be: 1- A PMC3-XP if I can find one. This would upgrade Prodigy to full on Crestron. Anyone know where I could get one? 2- Is a PMC3 the same? Would this also get the job done? 3) Would an MC3 work? Would it upgrade Prodigy to full on Crestron? And handle a third party remote like the MX-850? 4) Would an RMC3 work? Is this the same as an MC3? What are the diferences? Would this also function to use third party remotes? Upgrade to full on Crestron from Prodigy?
To keep things simple, I think I could just get a PLX3 remote. But to future proof the system, as best I can, it seems I should invest in one of the other processors. Can anyone chime in as to which would be the best and why if I went this route?
Thanks everyone. This 'little' change is driving me crazy.
