Thanks, Guys. Cool stuff.
Lemme throw another twist in. The same guy also has a break area with 5 TVs (all component) running with an ancient AMX matrix. We made it work when he first moved in. For said 5 TVs, there are 5 basic, tiny Comcast boxes in the closet, with no control system. You can imagine how fun that is to adjust.
Thinking out loud for all of this, I could run a Control 4 EA-3 controller and remote (has 6 IR out) for that break area, treating each TV and cable box as a room, basically. He can easily make changes at that point.
Next, use the USB input on the controller for the Gong sound I need (with a flash drive), then run the audio out to a 70 volt amp. (then figure out placement, coverage, wattage etc). He could then ring the bell through the C4 app? Or a conveniently placed keypad... I can email support on that to check...
