I have one system that I've had to re-authenticate the ecobee driver twice since June. Other Ecobee integrations either continue to work or the client hasn't notice/complained. Has anyone else experienced issues with this? I see one comment on the forums from August, but otherwise all complaints are much older. One post implies they had to re-authorize every time the controller was fully rebooted...

Actually, a system CAN be registered remotely, manually, if you are working with your registered dealer (which you can also change). It is all managed at customer.control4.com under "My Account - My System" and "My Account - Smart Home Pro". A dealer using Composer pro can register a system using the code that an unregistered controller will display under "My System", and then, if you allow, remotely connect to your system to help. I've had MANY issues with the Certified Apple TV HomeBridge Driver, but after a couple years with it, I learned that the MAIN issue is that at least ONE AppleTV needs to be hardwired. With the Halo Remote, I've been revisiting the setup a lot (but on other installs, I still prefer Jesse Smiths IR driver for Gen3+ AppleTV, as it has all the extra buttons and press-n-hold options missing from the C4 IR driver). Basically, to make the Home bridge driver work, you need an iphone or ipad with the latest iOS, all appletvs updated as well. Use that device to login to all the appletvs with bluetooth (if you have problems with existing appletv, log out the primary user and log back in with "using my device" option. THEN setup homekit in the C4 app. Disable and re-enable appletv control if you've previously tried and had problems. After this is done, select each appletv in composer, and it has been working reliably, with voice control even, on the 20-30 halo remotes I have installed so far. Haven't had a callback, yet (knocks on wood).

My work laptop has SSD storage for the windows OS, and a separate HDD for file storage, which has led to one of the most reliable laptops I've ever owned. However, after 3 years, that OS SSD has become pretty tight for space. C4 doesn't help by installing a full version of composer for each update to the software (I often go in and delete the ones that only lasted a few months, knowing they will have to download again just so I can update whatever system I'm servicing). After removing software I don't use as much (like programming software for Vantage, RTI, etc, only to re-install them at-need), I started doing some advanced searches of my Windows user files. Frankly, what I found was shocking. More than half of ALL my windows user files were old composer log files. OVER 17 GB in about 1.5 years of using the software since my last wipe of the computer. That amount of space more than allowed my to keep all the software and apps that I had been deleting after each use. What a mess! The software needs a "clear cached files" option, or something. Ridiculous.

If I understand you correctly, this sounds like one of the many, many custom programming tasks that is easier with a macro. Make a new macro in macro agent "Motion Temperature" and in programming tab you can set it's effects. Then all the sensors call the macro and if you ever want to update the effect you only need to change programming in one place. You can more easily make conditional macros, as well, like in the macro you can say "if night, do this, else do that", of if the variable "away_mode" is true, do this, else send a push notification that motion was detected while the house is in away mode. With a macro you can apply these behaviors to all your sensors at once, and it makes the system run better.
