I must say I like the idea of multiple instances where you can choose which variables to display in a given instance…

I can say that I assigned all of mine to separate rooms in HomeKit. I thought it was just me being OCD (especially as it was a pain determining which is which) but maybe doing that helped me

I can definitely see how this would be super annoying. Not an issue in our house as every important keypad has a room off, or suite off button and often a House off button which we use for turning off multiple loads.

This!

The rename driver is a great driver. Unfortunately doesn’t work via programming for large projects… @msgreenf - would be great if that could be changed

Huh! You seem to be confusing 2 distinctly different things. Including (or excluding) the Touchscreens in the announcement simply determines whether or not the Touchscreens play (or don’t play) your MP3 file when the doorbell is rung. Whether or not the Toichsdreens show the vide from your doorbell camera when the bell is pressed is determined by what Touchscreens you have included in the call (either via properties in the Chime driver or in programming of a group call from the Chime driver). Follow @Cyknight advice if you want to achieve what you originally asked.

Plus 1

I’ve watched 2 hours on one of my Apple TVs now and absolutely no issues… Weird that this just started happening for you. Have you tried rebooting the controller?

Another option is to insert variables into the email (eg a string with the name of the window). I do this a lot.

What does the Control Light give you compared to a Core1? Could this replace EA1s behind TVs and give OSD? Zigbee?

I guess it depends on many things including how quickly your amps turn on and how many zones you are airplaying to. My kids use ShairBridge regularly and never complain. I did a quick test on my system now (first time I’ve personally used ShairBridge in years) and it took me 3 seconds to hear sound (playing to 3 zones on a 12 year old amp).

How long since this has been a real problem? I haven’t used my Apple TVs for a few days but will make a point of using one this weekend and let you know if I see any issues.

I’ve had this problem once or twice (in the four or five years since the Bridge driver was released) but it has always gone away by itself within a day or two). Admittedly, I only have 4 or 5 Apple TVs at each of my residences. Certain actions also cause this (eg Refresh Navigators) but I cannot think of anything that would / should cause this continuously. I wonder if the number of Apple TVs is creating an issue?

This has been needed for a long long time. I’ve used so many different work arounds for this over the years that it is scary. Well done!

I have one keypad where I occasionally got a static shock from until I changed the carpet (the change in carpet was unrelated but removed the issue). This did reboot the keypad. The shock was scarcely noticeable just a minor spark / static sound and the merest of tingles.

Pity! Good luck - will be keen to know what the fix is!

Interesting! I understand what you are saying and tried simultaneously pushing button 1 and button 2 on a six button keypad and I also got the (unexpected) double click of button 2. I don’t think pushing two buttons together is recommended but it should not do this! The only time I have used pushing 2 buttons at the same time is with one of the Domosapiens keypad drivers which is specifically designed to allow for pushing the up and down arrows simultaneously.

Have you refreshed navigators? I don’t think that will make any difference as I assume this is a web based UI but still worth trying just in case!

I recall when I got my first IP controlled LG (5 years ago) that I was advised to get the Annex4 driver as it was much more reliable than the native driver for IP control (particularly on / off functionality). I have no idea if that is (still) true but I’ve had no regrets with the Annex4 driver and it has been rock solid.

What driver are you using? I have Cx and Bx models and they all work perfectly using the Annex4 driver.

I use option 1 and I must say it has been rock solid for me.

Are there any camera drivers that allow you to set the preset names (that appear in the Control4 navigators) for a PTZ camera (so that one is not stuck with Preset 1, Preset 2 etc.). Ideally, this should be available as variables for programming against; however, setting the, in driver properties or importing them from the camera itself would also work. If there are any such drivers, does anyone know if there is one that works with Lilin IP cameras?

I think the issue lies in the programming rather than a bug. I may well be wrong though. Can you post screenshots of your programming?

i use a very similar approach but using C4 keypads. Great example @Topfox

This is exactly what I think would solve (work around) the underlying problem.
