  1. Hi unfortunately our router fried in the recent hot weather and has been replaced. while most things are working, control4 has lost connection to quite a few devices - I think because the ‘fixed ip’ addresses were lost with the router. I have composer HE and was looking for the connections detail to understand what IP address C4 is looking for for the lost devices. I can then re-fix them with the new router. I cannot see where to go? Can anyone help? does t seem to make sense to have to call a dealer for this? Thanks!
  2. Hi. I am using Hone Edition 3.3 at the bottom right of the screen there is a little download icon that tells me there are group driver updates for my system. Including Spotify connect. for the life of me I cannot work out how to actually install the updates. man I being silly? Thanks
  3. Hi there. I need to order new buttons as the current ones are beginning to fall apart. They are the laser etched ones that came with the installation. is there another company offering them (ideally stronger quality) or only via C4 thanks!
  4. I know this has been asked in the past, but checking if there have been any updates. simply to say ‘Alexa play ‘xyz’’ and for Alexa to use the C4 speakers rather than their own. The C4 Speakers don’t show up as devices yet. I have created voice routines in C4 which when linked to Alexa allow me to play a fixed playlist eg ‘Alexa Coldplay’ triggers a C4 routine in the right rooms at a certain volume. but can we now expand it so that Alexa can be more advanced as above? many drivers that help with this ? Thanks!
  5. In the end I got an old second hand matrix which works, and two new amps. All good now. Could find no way to fix the dodgy matrix.
  6. Hello i have a new power amp linked to my control 4 audio matrix. The new amp needs the 12v trigger signal to stay on. I would like to program either my ea5 or IO extender with a simple command: - when matrix senses audio, switch on 12v trigger- for the life of me I cannot see anything in HE to get me to that part of the program. What am I missing! thanks!
  7. Hi everyone I have a new power amp to replace a fried c4 unit. The new amp can use 12v trigger which would be super useful. so... as I am not a dealer, but do have HE, can I programme myself my ea5 or io extender to send the 12v signal when audio is on, without the dealer having to install new drivers or functions? I have the cables but not sure of the easiest way? Many thanks!
  8. Hi there. I have Control4 announcement agent to set up to play a sound when the door bell is pressed separately i have the Alexa Show which can now show me video from my porch camera. so.... is there any functionality whereby 'if control4 doorbell rings' i can send something to Alexa. I can then build i routine in Alexa to switch on the camera. i am enjoying the ability to use voice agent for alexa to control4, i guess here i am looking for something in reverse! many thanks in advance!
  9. Hi any suggestions on the matrix amp and power amps to replace my fried units appreciated. I see on C4 they have Triad - any good and do they do a matrix? Thanks!
  10. Hello. so I need to buy a new matrix and 16 zone amp for my house, as I have confirmed the c4 products above are fried. many suggestions on other providers who I could purchase a new setup from (in the Uk ) thanks!
  11. Also. Could it be that my matrix is also fried. Periodically it just stops playing out one channel of certain zones. It’s not the amps. Power reset to the matrix (every day) fixes it Upgrade?
  12. Many thanks. so.... it seems to me that these power amps are ‘dumb’ as in the C4 brain only talks to the matrix. any suggestions then for other /newer (cheaper) dumb power amps I could replace those with to make things more resilient/better? Thanks!
  13. Hi there. a problem since installation but now much worse. We have an audio matrix plus two 8 zone amps. Simply I have to reset the matrix and amps every day (power cycle) to ensure sound through each channel and zone. After a few hours the second amp shows RED in each zone (see picture). The only thing we have as special is the doorbell going through the amps at all times? do I need a new amp or worse?! thanks
  14. Hello. So back on this problem of the matrix only outputting one of the stereo channels. - have confirmed firmware box is filled in - have tested if it is an IP problem by connecting and disconnecting. No change - only resolution is power cycle. .... So. Is there any way I can programme in C4 HE a power restart on the matrix?! I looked through the options and couldn’t see anything? any other ideas to help stop this behaviour many thanks!
  15. thanks ! So on 3.1.1 overall on the EA-5, but this has been a problem since earlier generations do I need to upgrade firmware in the audio matrix too? Thanks
  16. Hello, I have had a persistent problem ever since our system was installed a few years ago. We have the audio matrix switch 16/16. This is linked to two C4 amps. Every day or so the audio matrix starts outputting on just one speaker channel to all zones. To change it back I have to do a power cycle and it fixes for another day or so. I have double checked but there doesn’t appear to be an overheating problem. could there be any ways I can fix this. It is quite frustrating! Thanks
  17. thanks @burowyako and @c4toys Yes - the quest is to start the same source in both rooms from the start. Yet in programming i seem to be only able to add one room at a time, which triggers the station to act like a different source each time. I would like the outcome to be just like adding a room to the existing audio stream in the app. thanks!
  18. Hi. Happy new year to all so another quick one in programming if you have one zone playing music and want to add another room to that zone what is the logic. I have a routine to play a radio station in the bedroom. What I want to do is add another room to that stream. When I do it now both zones have a different stream not joined together and out of sync. I try to match the audio to what is playing in the bedroom but it still plays as a separate stream. Can I say ‘play this station in BOTH these rooms’? probably very easy but confusing me! Thanks
  19. Hello - we have the control4 wired keypads with engraved buttons. With hindsight I probably would have chosen a different solution but too late to change now. the engraved buttons are cool BUT very fragile. Pressing the buttons, or cleaning them can break off the letters and they look cheap and nasty. we have already reordered all the buttons via our dealer from C4. bit some have broken again. question - Would be interested if there was any other company who prepares the same buttons and engraved ? It’s just so annoying and expensive to keep using c4. we are in the Uk I did search here but not sure if anyone has found an alternative? many thanks!
  20. Oh I am an idiot. Got it Everyone is very kind found how to nest underneath. Refreshed but still no execute. I think I must have missed a trick on the command ‘when I change the input to Apple TV 4K’ in the cinema. Wonder if it’s because it’s in the rack. Photo attached. thanks everyone
  21. Thanks! Ok I am nearly there. however not quite....! so I have the action I think very simply but it will not execute. I am being stupid here?
  22. Now that’s a different and long story to do with the capabilities of my matrix! what I need to find is the action for when ‘applet tv 4k’ is selected to this. Cannot see where that action would be on the left. All the room options don’t allow to select an individual device? Thanks!
  23. Hello just started with Composer HE and have basic question. i want to put in a programme that WHEN a device is selected (apple tv) then an action takes place (in this case changing an audio source) in the progamming left hand side, device events - under apple it just has an event of Power on Power off etc. But i think i need one which is "when device is selected" as power on and off dont get triggered when device is selected (it is always on) i can work out the programming on device actions which work when i press execute. But just need the Device Event for "when apple TV is selected" am i being stupid? thanks!
  24. Hi. Coming back on the Spotify drivers and apologies if this answered elsewhere. Can anyone clarify if there is a way to increase the Spotify sound quality (in Kbps) in the same way you can in the app. I looked in the driver to see if I could increase the quality to High as we have fast internet. But could not see. Many thanks in advance
