dougw246 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 How does Control4 interface with the Genie Mini boxes?What are your current experiences with the Genie system and Control4 integration?Does the Diamond Design IP driver work with the system?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turls Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Genie is just a marketing name. The IP drivers from DD or EV should work with any current DirecTV box or extender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Control4 even has a stock driver that works over IP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillEV Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Only the EV driver is able to control the Genie mini boxes at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 ive only used the EV driver for the Genie, and all direct tv installs (my preference)......but would be curious if the c4 stock driver would work....Will i assume you have tried their driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillEV Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Yep. It works with the main Genie, but can't control any Genie Minis or RVU clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanmark Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Very timely, I'm having DirecTV installed next week - a Genie, two Genie Minis and one Samsung RVU compatible TV. Sounds like the only option for full Control4 integration is the EV driver? (I have a growing list of drivers I'll need to buy from EV - Hue, DirecTV, DSC and Somfy. Glad they're cranking these out!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillEV Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I have the same system (albeit with only one Genie Mini) and the driver works great. Bear in mind that the RVU TV and Genie Mini have to be on for the driver to be able to control them as DirecTV can't currently power up a device over Ethernet.

simchippy Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Does control4 have a samsung tv driver with Directv rvu controls mapped in yet? I need my sr250 to work like samsungs new remote so when I hit the guide or menu button on my sr250 I want it to open the rvu dtv channel guide not the samsung tv guide. This is for a samsung tv with RVU compatibility connected via cat6 networked to a genie with itach flex sending ir commands. Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
