The update seems to have addressed the issue for me.

Yes

Oh ok - thank you for clarifying. Interesting so as soon as you go to 3.4.2 and you add new controllers you going to be forced to connect subscription. So, then the question is, if you get the controller registered via connect can you still manage that controller via Composer Pro?

If your system is old, it might be worth the IntelliCenter upgrade. you not only get a better connection with C4, but the Pentair Home app is very useful.

Does this also mean, if I ever upgrade from my EA-5 to a new Controller, I will have to move to a subscription model?

no, that is only partially right. You have a project on a EA now and you upgrade to a NIB core, you will have to subscribe to connect. Connect requirement is about when the hardware was first registered.

So am I correct in my thinking that Connect is for net new Projects that need to be registered. Projects already register composer still can as per above register existing or new CORE/EA's into the project?

Correct. Even registering an existing used Core/EA won’t need to use Connect…

Interesting - they removing the ability already to register projects in Composer pushing to the new subscription model. From what I can see/read even with the upgrade it wont affect current systems that have already been registered its for net new registered projects.

There are 3 or 4 IntelliTouch drivers out there. I think I have tried all of them. The only one that I would recommend is the bNet Solutions driver. It is (in my view) the best pool driver out there and has better (more complete) integration than any other pool driver I have seen and I have seen many Pentair and other pools connected to Control4. It is also the only IntelliTouch driver that I have seen which 100% reliably gives 2 way control to the various Pentair circuits etc.

Does anyone know where I can find a driver for a pentiar intellitouch?

Yes, the fan controller buttons are fully programmable - unlike the KC120277 the layout just can't be changed. For the record: KC = configurable keypad. Doesn't control a load itself KD = is a keypad and dimmer in one, so controls a load as a dimmer (and yes not what you want here at all) KA = something else entirely in that it's a special device to act as a multi-way switch for cheap (think top and bottom of stairs), no programming involved (or possible) and looks like a C4 regular switch or dimmer but no leds.

anyone know if there is a way to map the 4 color buttons to the color buttons on the actual remote? (in this case its a Droidlogic Sword+ box) Control is working but the client needs to be able to use the color buttons to switch between different views in the app they are using (OnAir). I only see the ability to map the color buttons to app shortcuts.

I don’t want to turn off the protection, just add an exception to run a program. However, my issue may be entirely unrelated to rebinding. And if doing an exception opens up significant vulnerability, I won’t do it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thats exactly how it works. There are literally settings on camera UIs not included in the more general NVR config options. It’s also specifically talked about in many brands knowledge base. Otherwise you risk mismatched settings.

Pretty sure DNS rebinding is a way for hackers to hack your PC. Why do you need this protection removed??

a KC works.

This is the current C4 fan switch in my master bedroom (AC fan) I didn't want to confuse the pictures, thus the 2nd follow-up post. You're saying I could reprogram this switch when I have the DC fan installed and add scene keys such as Music (on/off), TV (on/off). Just not the volume rockers, which I'm OK with as there is a touch panel nearby and remote.

Would a C4-KC120277 work? Sorry as I'm not an electrician by trade trying to understand KC, KD (which is a dimmable programable switch and not appropriate for a fan) and KA . Trying to understand the types of C4 light switches that were installed, as I update from AC to DC fans. Yes, I would like to change the layout of the programmable keys and why I don't want a 'dummy non-control 4 switch' Is the attached photo an example of a KC120277, as the top button controls two AC fans on my porch and the reminder keys are for scenes. I assume I can re-use this light switch (attached photo).

Like i said, that is not how it works. I've never come across anyone choosing to configure 50+ cameras individually on systems like these when they are purposely designed to be managed via the NVR.

I dont know what you are talking about. There is nothing special about HIK. You should set up IP cameras individually and check to make sure NVR settings match. Batch setting cameras via the NVR is the improper way to do it.

That's not how it works within Hikvision. The NVR must have access to the camera to manage them. Is there something precautionary in your mind?

"Mitch fixed it"? haha, well i didn't fix it, I just clicked upgrade! Happy to help anyone else upgrade to 3.4.2

@msgreenf fixed it for me with bindings - thank you! As an aside: I recently purchased Text Expander and I think I'm going to add the phrase "Mitch fixed it" to Text Expander given how often that happens

I was able to test 3.4.2's fix for remote connection of Composer HE to both properties with C4 and can confirm that it is working again which is a great fix! Note that you need to have separate licenses for HE for each property. Thanks to @msgreenf for upgrading me and helping me work through this over the last few weeks!
