msgreenf Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 As ari said. That driver had to be manually added. It's not automatically added on update but is part of all new 2.10. 4 installs Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I have a HC-250 for my whole home. Wondering if a EA-1 could replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msgreenf Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 No. Stick w the 800.They removed the limit to make migrating projects to ea 3 or 5 easier.

mallom Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 If your project has an HC250 as primary and EA1 as secondary, I would make the EA1 the primary.If you project has an HC800 as primary and EA1 as secondary, leave the way it is.At my house, I had a hc800 as primary. I migrated the project to a new EA3 and left the hc800 just for IO (relay, contact etc). There is absolutely no difference in speed. Both controllers are capable of running my project just fine, but YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its running fine, just leave the way it is. But keep in mind that the HC250/800 will be EOL at some point. If it was my project, I would at least have an EA1/3 as primary just because we dont know what the next OS will bring, and plus, you would benefit from a faster/modern controller.

dcovach Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 On a positive note, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the camera jump feature only works on EA series controllers and t3's. Very handy if you have a lot of cameras and want them popping up on t3's or tv nav when there's motion or for whatever reason. As much as I still like the hc800, I can't go back to that now that I've been used to an ea5 and t3's the progression of features and drivers exclusive to it. Not much of an advantage to mix and match older v2's just to save a few bucks on a slow moving TS in comparison to a t3. The add music driver is a bonus for end users. It seems like Control4 is slowly giving some power back to the end users for supporting newer equipment. Not a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMHarman Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Re: Amazon It doesn’t appear that there is any access to it in programming, so I’m guessing that you can’t start from a favorite (i.e.by pressing a keypad button). It looks like you have to go thru navigator. So you can’t cycle thru favorites or use it in a series of sources that you cycle. Still nice to have, but it would be great if you could start a favorite by pressing a keypad button. It says up top this is an amazon api gap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Camera Flip now works fine on EA Navigators and T3 touch screens Running OS 2.10+. You now accomplish this by using the "Navigation Agent". The old way of doing things on an Infinity Edge was to save a bookmark on the touchscreen and use programming to recall that bookmark. Dealers can reference KB 2115 if wondering how to pop up a camera on a EA/T3 during an event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dealers can reference KB 2115 if wondering how to pop up a camera on a EA/T3 during an event. The navigation agent is wonderful if you have an EA series controller on at least 2.10. The challenge is when an HC250 or HC800 has been updated to 2.10. The bookmarks are removed. The only way around this is to simulate a SR-250/260 remote by programming button presses with delays in between so that the selector lands on the desired camera. I can't remember if this works on V2 touch screens. Probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Funny thing is that no-one is mentioning the biggest change to when->then here - the ability (by the dealer at least, not sure on HE) to tag any existing programming as 'customer' making existing programming available to edit using when->then. This means it's quick and easy to change older system programming into something people can edit themselves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the newer ea controllers say x86 which is better clock to clock than arm, and since its newer would it not have a better ipc per clock rating? Just curious He's just being cross, the HC800 will not outperform the EA series. The only arguable point there is that on-screen on the EA controllers take up more resources.

Thanks Currently you need to have a US Amazon Prime subscription for the C4 Amazon prime music driver to work. I think it works in the UK....? I'm in Canada but have both US and Canada Prime subscriptions so it works for me. Hopefully C4 and Amazon can make this work for clients from other countries too.
