Kahn Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I'm sure its simple - but I'm confused. One of those "can't see the field for the trees" issue. Here's the setup: Samsung 55" - unable to control via IP as it's older (IR over EA-1) Sonos BEAM connected via HDMI (ARC) Roku HDMI and powered by USB from Samsung EA-1 via HDMI (in a project where HC250 is main controller) I've screwed things up so much I just need to start all over with connections and endpoints. Not sure if the beam is my problem. Roku turns TV on and off and can control Sonos Beam volume via Roku remote. Sonos Beam shows in other Navigators and functions for music flawlessly. Here's my problem: EA-1 isn't displaying navigator on HDMI input when using SR250 If I make TV the video endpoint I lose control of the audio to the Sonos Beam If I make Sonos Beam endpoint for videos audio - I lose control via Roku remote TV isn't showing in other navigators so Roku Channels not showing in navigators currently I know its all in the endpoints - how would you handle?

Cyknight Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 6 hours ago, Kahn said: connected via HDMI (ARC) This is your issue. You now have 2 different control mechanisms (maybe 3 as you mention the Roku remote) that want to control audio and video. Honestly, I wouldn't use a BEAM at all in C4 as they bite too much, but as you have one, disconnect it from HDMI, use optical instead and let Control4 handle the connections (you can still use alexa for music control). From there, video endpoint is TV as normal, while Sonos would be all the audio endpoints and volume endpoints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Oh and EA is mssing it's room navigator endpoint most likely, so it isn't aware it's supposed to be able to be visible/functional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crustyloafer Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 This. You HAVE to use the HDMI to optical adapter with the Beam for it to work with the C4 connections/bindings available. You then set the binding from the optical output on the TV driver into the line-in binding on the Beam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
