Gary Leeds UK Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Works in UK - However its not need with Sonos - Because we do it via Voice Control You can not Program the driver which is a shame We signed in Via T3 Touch Screen - Also works on Ipad (Just tried it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Yes but to get the Camera Jump to work on EA controllers you need to drop the feed down to 720p which I do not wish to do. DS2 works as that is 720p, however my hikvision Cameras are all 1080p - The stupidity of having T3 which can take the 1080p and EA controllers which can not is just stupid to me. The add music driver is good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therockhr Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I just want to double check on this; there is now no software limitations on the EA-1, correct? It can have multiple rooms and slave controllers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMHarman Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I just want to double check on this; there is now no software limitations on the EA-1, correct?

Multiple rooms was never an issue (IIRC), and Yes on 2.10.4 you can have the EA1 as primary and other slave controllers.Ea1 has historically been only able to director a one room project, a difference from the hc250 predecessor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanE Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 There was no limitation on the EA-1 as to how many rooms were in the project, it just could not be used as the primary controller in a system that had secondary controllers. That limitation has now also been removed, and you could architect a system with many secondary controllers with a main EA-1 as the primary controller. Wouldn't make too much sense for reasons outlined above, but the limitation has been lifted. My house has an HC800 as the primary controller, with EA3 and EA5 as secondary controllers. Mostly because I'm too lazy to swap it to the EA5... RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only threw the EA-5 on top of my rack in order to get additional Audio Outputs. It sat waiting to be installed too long already. I need to really take the time and put it in the rack and do the cables right. RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil0ne Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I'm happy about the addition of the Amazon Music driver. Like msgreenf said, since it comes with my Prime subscription I'm happy to have another commercial free streaming choice. I just deleted the overly complicated HEOS integration that really only worked in the one room with the Denon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This means it's quick and easy to change older system programming into something people can edit themselves... That's indeed a handy feature, so I will be asking my CI to adjust programming items that I may want to manage myself in the future but get them to leave items that are more complex / integral to the operation of our automation locked. With that said, as an end user, I still see that When > Then has no ability to add "If" conditions, a pretty basic requirement of programming, so I still can't see me making any use of it for *automation*, control maybe....

GadgetBazza Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 As an end user, I used to be able to login to the EA5 as an End User to see the status of the director (CPU / Memory usage etc). With this update, this seems to have dis-appeared and the login screen no longer gives an option to select which type of user login you want to use and only has a password box. Anyone got any info on if this has been purposely removed, or do I need to access it some other way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been purposely removed - they stopped allowing direct log-in for when-then (which is what that was intended for) as there were some issues (don't remember the details on what, sorry) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When-then is not intended to be a full programming feature, indeed meant to be limited to simple functionality. That's what ComposeHE is for.
