Hi all. I have dug out a light circuit that has remained unused since installation years ago. I have just realised that the power tobit remains stuck at 55%... I can swipe power to it up or down on my phone app, but it travels back to 55%. Same happens when I try to adjust using Home Composer. I have C4-DR-DIM8-M modules, and have isolated the exact circuit line. When I try bumping to zero, the associated LED dims briefly before picking up again to (I guess) a 55% brightness. Any ideas why this is? I was hoping it would be a silly loose wire or something, but perhaps not.... or anyone know if its likely hardware or software? Thanks

Hi. I have one light circuit which I have never used before and just conneted to a light to. Just noticed the circuit is stuck on 55% and I can't turn it off. I have Composer HE 2.10.5; everything else works fine with it, but when I try to drag the slider up or down from the 55%, it slides back to same 55. Is there somewhere this could have been set as a default? Thanks

Hmmm... ok. The speakers (Polk RC80i) get rave reviews everywhere and hence I chose them. They aren't super expensive but I didn't go for bargain basement. I think I'll remove one and connect to a different standalone audio source and see how they sound - at least then I know if it's the speaker or C4 or the ceiling void. I'll keep you posted! Thanks

Hi there. Old post, but I'm having the same problem... I have 8" Polk's in my ceiling, and the sound just seems way flat. I don't have back boxes. I can turn the volume up to literally just 7 or 8 and it already pretty loud but without any guts. Where in Controller is the below Output Control options box with the equalizer? I have looked all over my 2.10.5 HE but cannot find. The only thing I can find is the C4 Amplifier within my Comms Room, and this has an "Audio Properties" which can adjust Bass and Treble. Have tried different settings, but just doesn't feel satisfying. Any tips? Thanks

Hi all Opening this thread up again. I have Polk Audio RC80i ceiling speakers in my rooms. They've got such good reviews across all places where I have read, and yet for me they are missing so much bass. If I turn my volume to even 10, they are pretty loud but they dont feel as deep or rich as I would expect, like the lower frequencies are being held back. Any idea what this may be and how to resolve? Given the general positive reviews and opinions around for the speakers, I dont think it's the speakers that are the problem, but instead some setting with the speakers. Any help or opinions would be great. And thanks @RAV for your previous reply! Cheers

Thanks for that. It's actually even simpler than that.... in my Spotify on my own phone, I forgot to select "Listening on" > "Spotify Connect"... d'oh. All works now, and thanks for attempting to help!

Hi - Up until last week I was able to use Spotify Connect to stream my tracks through any of the speaker zones. Not sure what has happened but C4 is somehow how linked to my son's Spotify account on his phone - whenever I click Spotify Connect, I get his library playing. How do I get it to revert back to my Spotify account? I have tried signing out of Spotify on both phones and re-signing in, but has no effect. Thanks

Hi - I see that the EA5 literature says it includes a 10 band graphic equalizer, but how do I access it? I have 2.10.5 HE but can't find it on there - anyone know where it is? Also, my C4 8 zone amplifier has bass and treble setting for each zone. Along with the EA5 equalizer, are these the only two places where the speaker sound/tone can be adjusted? And does one take priority over the other? Thanks vm

Hi there - Do you (or anyone) know how to technically do this? I thought this was possible when I did my house refit, and installed the following in the ceilings of all my rooms: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ELKAY-374B-1-Ceiling-Occupancy-Sensor/dp/B01N2AW78O. I even bought a bunch of Arduino Nano chips so I had enough input/outputs But my installer said that the sensors will not work as (I think) he said "they only switch on/off rather than sending the required signal". Can't remember exact explanation. I'm keen to know if it really is possible to install these, and whether my installer just hasn't done this himself so not aware. Thanks

I still cannot find Composer HE . The only drop down I can find is for Media Composer On my account, I have 5 buttons at the top of the screen.. 'My Account' - sub-sections are User and 4Sight 'My Profile' - sub-sections are User and Permissions 'User & Devices' - Users, Devices, The Control4 App, and Desktop This Desktop section states: "Control4 MyHome for PC or Mac is an optional, licensed software application that allows the homeowner to use their laptop or desktop computer as an interface to manager a Control4 system. Beginning in April 2013, new systems include a license to use MyHome apps. Use your Control4 account email address and password to connect the software to your system. If you purchased before April 2013, please contact your Control4 Smart Home Pro to make sure you have the necessary license". It has one button for 'Download the Control4 App (PC, Mac). When I click this, I download the .air file 'My System' - My Controller, Composer Media Edition, Backups There is a drop-down for the Composer Media Edition - but this is just for Media Composer - control media but no programming 'Smart Home Pro'

Thanks @msgreenf, but I cannot find a link anywhere on my account. The most I can see is the When > Then area which shows are the programming (but it's all locked as dealer only), and then there's a link in the My Account > User Devices > Desktop stating "Download the Control4 App - PC/Mac". When I download this, I get a .air file which I have never seen before (am assuming it is an Apple format). Then I have had to download an extractor (7-Zip) to extract, but there are no executable files in the resulting files. All seems very strange so perhaps I have got it all wrong. Anyone able to help further? Thanks

Hmmm... so is there somewhere (official) I can download Composer HE 2.10.5?

...and my system is running on 2.10.5 according to my Control4 account

Hi I am unable to program my keypads anymore :( ... I can log into Composer HE and view the current programming assigned to keypad button, and I can also press the Execute button at the top of the screen to execute, but the entire right hand Actions panel is unresponsive... I can't scroll through the Devices tree, and the Commands and Conditionals tab are blank and cannot flip between them. In the middle Script panel, header says "Read only" (not sure I have noticed that before tbh) and the small green horizontal arrow on the left of each programming line is greyed out. Anyone know what the problem here may be? I have successfully programmed lots in the past. I recently updated to a new EA-5 and am running v2.10.2 (have tried older HE versions too) Thanks vm..

Folks... all of this has been amazing help. Thanks very much. Think I'll stick with Dahua. Now it's just which camera to buy. @LollerAgent, thanks for the link to the wiki... certainly is the most comprehensive I've ever seen! One key advice is to buy a Starlight model, but naming conventions seem to vary at retailers. Do any on the digits on the model code signal that one is a Starlight version? I've seen the IPC-HDW4631C-A for £63 but the description doesn't mention Starlight. Wondering if you can decipher from the product coding? Note, I'm in the UK so need a UK retailer/model. Thanks vm..
