malelan Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I'm also thinking of updating my Kodi Full and Plex Full drivers to be able to launch movies via a action that includes a string variable. This will mean that you can use Google Home to playback any movie if you have Kodi or Plex. Would be in a situation to test this. How about a variable for next up on TV shows.

Hey Alan I'm on the fence between Ring Pro or Skybell HD. Skybell does support IFTTT. excuse my ignorance but any idea on features available for this through your driver? thanks ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic30101 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 These are the items that Skybell has made available through IFTTT. http://www.skybell.com/blog/skybell-hd-works-with-ifttt/ Triggers into IFTTT/Control4 When the SkyBell HD button is pressed When the SkyBell HD motion sensor is triggered Actions to the doorbell from IFTTT/Control4 Start a live video stream and record it for 60 seconds Turn the indoor chime off Turn the indoor chime on Change the LED color to red, blue or green Ring also seems to have similar IFTTT capabilities that they support https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/208790826-IFTTT-Do-More-With-The-Ring-Doorbell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnj Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Thanks. So which one would you go with? I wanted ability to see who is at door on tv but it seems doorbird is the only one that is SIP and ONVIF for blueiris or NVR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic30101 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Doorbird definitely has the most capability with SIP, a direct control4 driver available, and the ability to send a door unlock trigger from their app that can be used for a c4 zigbee doorlock if applicable. So as long as its still in the budget I would lean towards that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnj Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 its seems like a no-brainer.. except for the simple fact its big with no finishes except white and silver. wish they made it as unobtrusive as the Ring Pro. Need the bronze finish to match exterior. thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Is anyone else having issues where the websocket for push over keeps disconnecting? Mine disconnects every night, and every morning when I wake up nothing works until I open up Composer and put my PushOver credentials back in.

Expanding on it i will probably add in two properties into the driver. 1 - phrases to truncate (comma seperated phrases/words) 2 - change to lowercase (true / false) This has now been implemented. Have also improved the reconnection algorithm (i haven't experienced disconnects myself but this should force it to keep reconnecting every minute until its connected if it disconnects although previously it did try to reconnect).

alanchow Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 Just now, ILoveC4 said: Can you expand on this a little please? The truncating... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk basically you type in comma separated words that you want the driver to remove from message or title variables. eg if i put in "quick ,brown , lazy " in the property "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" will become "The fox jumped over thedog" take note of how the spacing effects how the driver truncates the string.

Thank you. I've been pounding cold medicine all day. Can you share an example of how you would use it to simplify programming the Google Home with Control4? Like I said - I'm a little foggy today due to all the cold meds. Just trying to wrap my head around the benefit.

So for example you can say "Turn on master bedroom lights" or "Turn on the master lights" or "Turn on master room lights" the driver will truncate the, bedroom and room and leave you with "master lights" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan, Works awesome. This really is great. One last feature request and I think it would be perfect. An option to rename words would rock. for example rename lights to light. That way a single programming recipe will work for "turn on office lights" and "turn on office light" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan, so...this was working flawlessly. However, it just randomly stopped removing the word "bedroom". It still removes all the other words listed, but "bedroom" still passes through. Any ideas why that might be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 See the screenshot below. You can see the word "bedroom" being passed through in the message, despite it being listed as a word to exclude. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILoveC4 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Space after bedroom What do you mean? Should I add one or remove one? It accurately strips out every other word. I included THE and PLEASE in the message too, but it stripped them out. And it was working perfect then just stopped...without me changing anything (at least so far as I'm consciously aware).

ILoveC4 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Thanks Elvis. I'll give that a shot, but I'm pretty sure it was working before. Maybe it stopped with the addition of the word please? I'll check and report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huj_man Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Having issues with connecting to pushover. I have a desktop account and added an ios trial yesterday - could that have caused the problem? Right now its flipping back and forth between "connected" and "disconnected" but its not passing any messages to control4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
