  1. Tis is where it belonged.... ... Two obvious options. -Integrate the Tekmar (pricey to do) with the Tekmar driver and the gateway -Use a C4 v2 thermostat running on battery. Yes that floor sensor uses the same resistance as a c4 external sensor. May need a bit of tweaking in the temp offset but otherwise should work just fine.
  2. The same as for all my other rooms (an artwork from digital blasphemy)
  3. Sort of correct - what the driver DOES allow you to do is to select colors for the top/bottom/toggle BUT those only work for attached keypads etc. - which is what I'm guessing OP means when he says he's changing settings but it doesn't 'do' anything. Indeed, you cannot change the color of the LED on the bottom of essential devices, only the intensity or reveerse it's indicator function, or ave it off, or programmed, but not what colour it is). I suppose I misspoke when I said you can do it on ANY C4 lighting, wasn't thinking of the essential line.
  4. project properties only apply to items added AFTER they are set. But yes you can go to each light and set the colour as desired (on any c4 light, many 3rd party lights is using keypads, but not all) Note, you can do one, then press apply to to pus it to any others you want as well)
  5. If you mean the ZWAVE ones instead of the Control4 ZigBee ones, yes they can be integrated, thoguh tehri level of integration isnt quite as advanced (limts to user management, autolock - that sort of thing)
  6. Yup To be clear for others coming across this, the Just Add drivers don't switch audio as such, the stereo breakout is on the transmittet, so you just 'pretend' that the source is going to the audio matrix and ignore that there's a converter in between - no different than if you're using a 'normal' hdmi audio breakout device. As with those 'normal' ones, there's the usual caveats:\ -some source drivers are 'too accurate' and don't include a stereo output so a converter driver needs to be added -if doing this on the receiver side (at the TV) then pretend it's coming from the TV instead of the source, and ensure the AV pathsetter is used so you don't get into a fight with the missus when the master TV gets turned on late at night when you are watching some late night TV in the living room
  7. Again, you'd have to test how well the bridge communicates the current status to C4. If it does this reliable and reasonably fast, you could have C4 ONLY do the back open command whenever the sensor is open. That would allow a 'permanent' sort of override by C4 per blind that will trigger regardless of whatever schedules you have set in the app. On time programming (per blind that needs it) and you can keep using the HD app if you like. If it doesn't - then yes you'd have to remove any schedules from the HD app and move it over to C4.
  8. ... Two obvious options. -Integrate the Tekmar (pricey to do) with the Tekmar driver and the gateway -Use a C4 v2 thermostat running on battery. Yes that floor sensor uses the same resistance as a c4 external sensor. May need a bit of tweaking in the temp offset but otherwise works just fine.
  9. It's not a T3 vs T4 or a combo option: they're working just fine for me here (literaly, I can see a T3 and a T4 from where I'm typing this, and both are using photo screensaver). This part I don't know about BTW - I'm talking about the photo screensaver working as such. Right? Same here, if they don't work I get complaints quicker than if a TV doesn't work. Anyway, i did have a small issues after a recent update, where photos were frozen and Composer was throwing similar errors - in my case the USB stick that holds my pictures was in unknown stae - i ONLY rebooted the contreoller that had it inserted and things came back - might be worth a try if that's how you're doing it. What is your storage setup ... using a NAS?
  10. Hmm. The biggest issue i think is that they don't report in (well?) when using anything but C4 to control them. If they do (it's been a while since I dug deeply into the integration of HD) you could only program a counter command. WHEN blind closes IF sensor is open delay 250ms open blind Dont think there's anything in the app C4 can't do if needed, but yes the app has some ease of use.
  11. More rugged construction. Many aren't actually IP rated (cost money, Axxess is a small company) but I've had a motion outside under soffit for over a decade (somewhat covered, still exposed to weather, and it can reach -40 here in extremes....and no it doesn't matter what scale you use). As an example that motion reads...well motion obviously, as well as temperature and humidity (though to be fair, so does the Nyce ceiling motion. Overall Axxess items are just a bit more, dunno, durable feeling? Both companies have their own unique offerings as well (Nyce had a door hinge sensor, Axxess a simple doorbell to integrate, touch keypads and lamp adapters). Note the garage tilt for nyce is discontinued - as is their mini keyfob control.
  12. To be clear, Hue by itself won't reach the distance either, you'd need to get that bridge or indeed a CA1 closer to the gate, of use a wifi implementation if you can get a reliable wifi signal out there. (I suppose you COULD run a CA1 wireless for it if lines are not available by the way)
