Just for the record, I found a free driver that works for this and any other Modbus TCP thermostat. https://www.hopebeauty.com/Mall/ProductList?KeyWords=control4 HopeBeauty_Snowyi_MC6_Thermostat_Gateway_Module.c4z AND HopeBeauty_Snowyi_MC6_Thermostat.c4z

Thanks! that's a big help. I cannot find that driver anywhere though. Yatun doesn't have them on their site any longer and HopSoft only has Mobus drivers, etc... not the single thermostat. Any idea where I can get it?

Let me know if you think this plan will work: Background: I recently built a wooden hot tub. Its heated using a navien tankless combi-boiler through a heat exchanger to the tub jet plumbing. I need to control the system so that the heater and pool pump turn on when tub temp drops below X and off above x. A simple thermostat should do this no problem, but I have struggled to find 24v wireless ones with set temps on the 100-105 F range. I have an Apollo one that looked promising but its a headache and now I can't find the c4 driver for it that they said they had. New Plan: Z2IO with external temp probe in the tub the 2 CC switches to the pump relay and heater control board. Program variable with custom button to choose set temp from list of four temp options (50, 80, 95, and 103 degrees). Programing: 1. When temp is 3 deg less than var turn on pump and heater. 2. when temp is 1 deg greater than var shut off pump and heater. The 4 degree buffer should help prevent short cycling on the pumps. Anything I am missing or suggestions for better options? tia dave

Thanks. Its a small house so BACnet not really needed....just a driver. I am getting close to throwing this thing in the trash though so may need a new solution. Will start a new thread for that.

Does anybody know of a driver for an Apollo Fan Coil Thermostat, aka MBTEK, Breeze or Beijing Brade Controls Tech Co., Ltd. MC6 Thermostat? They shows C4 logo on their marketing materials. but now that I have it installed and running a boiler loop for my hot tub, nobody seems to know anything about a driver. I have reached out to all the the above... https://apolloheatpumps.com/products/wifi-fan-coil-thermostat

It is $3.5k per panel. Its also a lot more than an app controlled breaker panel. It has a lot of functionality built into it for solar and generators that a traditional panel does not. This includes not only relays, but the ability to map circuits to supply channels so you can dictate which circuits are powered by the generator and which are not and use the dashboards to monitor total loads, etc.

Now if we could get some Unifi Protect IP cams...they have been "unavailable" for 6+ months.

I recently upgraded my DCS Power Neo alarm panel from the 3G Communication card TL2603GR to the 4G/LTE one TL280LER and set it up the exact same way. Its works fine but intermittently drops the connection to C4. It seems liek a port issue from the log files: 2021-11-20 17:53:51.247 -0800 ea3-000FFF95C44C [4156] ERROR: handleError(): Error reading from stream: [192.168.1.100:3071]: Connection reset by peer 2021-11-20 17:53:51.261 -0800 ea3-000FFF95C44C [4156] ERROR: Detected an attempt to bind a connection to the same port currently bound to a device server [rejected id: 912][rejected name: DSC TL-280 Board [Serial/IP][DW]][rejected port: 3072][server id: 912][server name: DSC TL-280 Board [Serial/IP][DW]][server port: 3072] Except the server ID and the rejected IS show the same device. Which seems to say the DSC panel is holding the port and not letting C4 back on. I search all the DSC programming and nothing else is using this port. I have also tried other ports for the setting and same issue or they don't ever connect. Any thoughts from the gang on what te issue might be and how to resolve???

And every time that happen on one of my devices I need to call my C4 dealer and pay them to fix the broken driver I can't access..... The laws will never prevent you from doing your job. I can wire my own house, that doesn't mean people don't still hire electricians to help them. Being able to do things is not the same as wanting to or being capable of doing them. If you are good at your job there will always be demand. C4 could solve all of this by following the Lutron model and opening up level 1 training to customers that are so inclined to go through it (a very small percentage of customers, btw) and learn how to do basic tasks like dragging and dropping a driver and configuring bindings.

aren't we all.....???

The one o the first link are $35-150K, depending how you configure them, but the second link run $10-12k. The Hora's are in the $8k range.

Its really hard to find good artistic speakers in the price range he is looking because its expensive to get good sound out of them vs conventional drivers and boxes. He might want to look at some midrange horn speakers like from Avantgarde Acoustics or similar. These are inline style wise but over budget: https://www.avantgarde-acoustic.de/en/products/trio-series/trio-classico-xd.html But they have a whole range of horn speakers that have multiple configurations and colors. Thire low end sets are mix of conventional and artistic but may be in his range: https://www.avantgarde-acoustic.de/en/products/uno-series/uno-fino-edition.html also look at: https://www.axjet.co/ http://horns.pl/en/speaker-sets/ https://www.hora-audio.jp/coco.html

I have been using Flume as an alternative to Flo. No integration, but its been very reliable and very accurate for past year. https://flumewater.com/

Can someone point me in the right direction for integration of a Lutron RadioRA 2 Visor Control Receiver RR-VCRX-WH for garage door automation in C4. I don't see a Lutron driver for it specifically. Do I just use a light switch driver for each door and then run these as relays with the generic garage door driver? Also using NYCE tilt sensor for door state monitoring.
