    It's all available on BlackWire.
     
    if you were running an older Houselogix driver version, pm me with your Blackwire dealer ID and I will migrate your license for free into your account.

    FYI the free BI driver in the C4 DB is partially dead with OS3, you will only see a static image on your T3, not even sure it's the same issue with the app.
    BI have a lot of potential left behind, and sadly AudioObsession haven't updated his driver since a while... That's why I've written a new driver for BI5 from scratch, it comes in a lite or full flavor, the Lite version is mostly to view a compliant HD stream on all your Navigator device, whatever the camera you have or native resolution the camera has. Record at 4k, view at 720p on C4 with no issue.
    The full version had every possible features BI can bring into C4. You will get motion trigger, camera control, auto-discovery, touch action trigger (touch the light on the live video feed and it will turn on). Also included is a cloud-free geofence driver that use the BI server and GPS on the app for positioning with any external services to log in, and the last and not the least is a full OSD control on the BI interface (5.2.1.1 required). Connect you BI server to your HDMI matrix and get a 4K camera view on all you TV, with feeds and playback control using your SR-260 or Neeo Remotes.

    That is just a dual white LED strip with one LED for cool and one for Warm, very easy to manage with the actual DMX driver and a multi-channel DMX decoder, the Tunable White driver is what you need and it is readily available.
    There will be some added features in the next version to manage dual-white and CCT from a Color Wheel UI and more ways.

    Other thing to be aware, if you need an RS-232 DMX Engine you can still purchase it through Engineering Solutions webstore or Amazon. Blackwire will not stock RS-232 Engines anymore. Price remain the same.
    Here's the Amazon links:

    I've just release a quick update of the DMX Driver to mainly bring it up to speed with Control4's OS3.2.

    New features:
    - Full OS 3.2 compatibility
    - Single ColorPicker driver for iOS/Android/T3/T4, no more messing around with multiple drivers
    - Partial support for HSL/HSV and CCT fixtures (using the RGB Dimmer and the Tunable White drivers)
    - OS3.2 fixes for dimmer ramping

    More support for HSL/HSV and CCT is coming as well as a brand new ColorPicker color wheel with new features, but I had to release this quick update because of the rapid spread of OS 3.2.

    Get the new driver on the BlackWire webstore, and stay tuned for the next release with all the new planned features.

    As stated, the driver support ONLY the non-cloud Sonoff device (noted "DIY" on their website)
     
    I do not plan to write a driver for the cloud device because as most cloud stuff, it work for a time, then the cloud crap changes or die, and the device become unusable... So I'll stick with local control as much as possible.

    Here a simple, yet fully featured driver for the cheap SONOFF Wi-Fi Smart Switches you can purchase almost anywhere.
    The driver work with the "DIY" version of the SONOFF switches and does not require any custom firmware, no MQTT or any Cloud connection. It's all local control and it will work forever.
    Quick features:
    Auto-discovery of SONOFF devices Two-way communication Auto-IP configuration that will survive IP change Light and Relay proxies bulit-in, no need for external driver This is by far the cheapest Smart Light solution compatible with Control4.

    I don't, you should ask the Blackwire staff about that. As for the DMX driver, I did not add any code to enable auto-update because I don't want this to happen. How many time you had a device that auto-updated in the night and half the stuff was not working anymore the next day? (Think AppleTV   )  So no, I'm a proud fan of the If It Works, Don't Fix It, especially with something like Lighting Control, that is much more mission critical than a streaming TV service.

    Great setup, glad it work well for you, it's an alternative for personal home or lab. I would never sell a DIY solution to a customer though, sometime you pay more to buy the "Peace of mind" (and support from a reputable company). All this worth something for me.

    It will work using our DMX driver, but you will need to use four standard single channel dmx driver for each of the level to control is your fixture. Don't use the Tunable White Driver, it is not designed for this kind of fixture.
    then you can so some simple programming is Composer to get the warm dim or any automatic color change, not that hard to acheive.

    @GusSafadi Grab the latest download package from BlackWire and update the Tunable White Dimmer from your project. Just do an in-place upgrade of this particular driver and ignore the same version warning.
    For a reason, the Tunable White Dimmer was still at a previous version until I found out yesterday (thanks to a dealer) and it is now fixed.

    Just a quick update on the new C4 IOS App that kills the ColorWheel view, we have it fixed but had to build separated ColorChanger driver just for the IOS app. It is attached to this post and is a complement of the Advanced DMX Driver Suite v2.2.1 available at Blackwire (will NOT work with the Houselogix version). The IOS ColorChanger driver is also included in the download package from BW. That's complicated stuff a bit for customer with both Android and IOS devices, but you will be glad to see the huge speed improvement and enhanced look of the color wheel on IOS.

    The driver will discover the blinds automatically but remember to set Integration ID to all the blind you want to control, it's mandatory. This is done through the Action menu of the blinds driver.
    Also if you plan to control a group of blinds, use the prodived driver, NOT the one from the C4 database. My group driver build a true blind group and allow you to control it using a nice slider, truly simultaneously. It also feedback the average level of the blinds in group.

    You can get around this using the local source driver so that Director only uses the TV for the room its in. ARC (not supported) is different to using the TV's audio out or headphone jack to supply audio (is supported)
