The biggest update which affects users that some drivers like the old ping driver and reboot driver are likely broken. This is a good thing because when drivers like ping ran, they blocked every driver on the controller from running for a few seconds (so, power on commands would be delayed, etc You'll want to ensure all your drivers are up to date if you run into issues

Does Luma do video clip history or just snapshot like the D2? I'm all ears for a better experience than Unifi. Please educate us on a better one. All these Chinese NVRs have shit experiences.

Luma x20 certainly does do history. Stated opinion, not fact

Sonos does not allow browsing music services: the only thing it can show is tunein stations you favourite in the sonos app.

Hi I configure my sonos in a room, but Tunein not appear. I set sonos in audio endpoint and volume audio endo point but not work. whats wrong?

Just to be clear that all camera systems will not allow you to scrub a timeline inside of Control4. There is no native NVR integration in Control4 that allows you to do everything through the C4 app. The closest you are going to get to that is the history integration with the c4 chime doorbell. Every other camera will integrate the same with Control4 (with slight variations). You will be able to view the live feeds and get PTZ control of the camera. Some cameras might integrate history now. You can also get push notification on smart alerts (people, cars, animals) depending on the camera and the driver. Overall, the best experience for camera and NVR software is Unifi. The app is light years ahead of these other systems and scrubbing a timeline is super easy. No annual fees to worry about either. Unifi integrates with Control4 and has the ability to do push notifications on smart events. The integration requires a paid 3rd party driver. The doorbell actual works and push notifications are instant.

Wanted to mention that I've been working with @neil12011 as my remote dealer and I couldn't recommend him more. He takes the time to listen and offer suggestions that I may have overlooked. I highly recommend him if you're looking for a remote dealer or any help with your control4 system.

So I'm told, yes.

You bet, several times. No issue to date, even in a full concrete crawlspace. Ability to use Wifi in crawlspace will indicate a bit how good/bad the 2.4 Ghz penetration is, but inggnereal you'll simple want to have another zigbee repeating device (any c4 branded lighting, keypad) no more than 20 feet away, or a C4 controller 30f or Z2IO device 50f away and you should be fine.

Does 3.4.2 contain the fix? I can't seem to see it in the release notes/bug fixes. https://www.control4.com/docs/product/control4-software/dealer-release-notes/english/latest//control4-software-release-notes-rev-as.pdf

I installed 87 Clare cams last year. Mostly because of the doorbell option and “waterfall” Ring type live camera layout. My major complaint of the turret is theres only one single mm set screw that attaches the camera sphere and shell to the mounted base. Just one.

And a fix for some Spotify issues

Hi - curious if anyone has put a C4-V-OOSW120-BL (Outdoor Receptacle Plug-in Outlet Switch) or Lamp Switch in a crawlspace? I'm generally impressed with how wireless signals just "umm, err, find a way" but the crawlspace is pretty well shut-in, no doors or windows. I guess if I can use my mobile wifi from the crawlspace that would be a good enough test?

Yep, S is just HIK OEM - nothing ammis, and not bad cams. My suggestion would be to NOT run them through the NVR if you want better motion triggers etc inside a C4 system, but feed them to a PoE switch, reset the NVR to do it that way and indeed use the Chowmain HIK driver - it'll be well worth it's small investment

I am excited to say that my dealer is updating me now. Does anyone know what updates OS3.4.2 contains?

Sounds like he has it set to use as a 2 button keypad which is all it should need?

Good to know but also not . Thanks

Speaking of Ubiquiti - they just released the new Dream Machine Pro Max https://9to5mac.com/2024/04/23/dream-machine-pro-max/

This was my first stop when trying to integrate the C4 doorbells with Unifi Protect, but the result I came to was that it only worked on older versions of Unifi Protect, and it no longer works on the updated versions.

so far the only solution I have found is to log into OVRC, find the router or WAP you're trying to connect to, hit the 3 dots and then select web connect. I am able to access the GUIs that way

Do we know how much C4 represents of Snap One's revenue? SnapOne's sales went from $591M in 2019 to 814M in 2020 and 1008M in 2021. C4's revenue from 2016-2018 was $208M, $244M and $273M - it was a separate public company at this time so its financial statements are public. So it seems to me that C4 would have been about 30% of Snap One revenue, allowing for a bit of growth

Pretty sure I never quoted you a price on anything...

Do agree with UniFi being a closed system, but have you tried this? https://github.com/keshavdv/unifi-cam-proxy?tab=readme-ov-file#readme or https://pypi.org/project/unifi-cam-proxy/
