I know there is the list of certified drivers on C4's web site, but besides that it seems you just have to do a lot of searching here. I'd also be interested to know what are the "standard" drivers every good C4 install has, which may be a thread somewhere as well. I think everyone here is calling them drivers, but some seem to be more utilities than drivers.Also, is it fair to say that the big difference in certified drivers is that they are supported by C4? Can a non-certified driver cause issues with your system that a dealer or C4 wouldn't support without removal of a driver?I'm still at a point I can change my mind on some of my equipment choices. For example, I'm kicking myself some "stuck" with GE Concord when I see what Recluse has done with Elk.I know off the top of my head of ExtraVegetables and Recluse, also I think Diamond, what other users or websites should I check out or keep an eye on for future development?I know one answer maybe to just talk to my dealer, which I am doing, but I want to make sure he isn't missing anything really cool I could talk him into using.Thanks!

turls Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 http://control4.com/partner/drivers/Thanks, that's the list I was referring to on C4's site. I should have linked it. That is only going to be the certified drivers though, which seems to be just part of the eco-system, if I understand things correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 There is no 'master list'.ComposerPro by default has 'Local Database' and 'Online Database' options. The drivers in the Local Database start out with a default set of drivers, mostly IR. The Online Database drivers have been submitted to Control4, and are in Control4's online database.Online database has both Certified and non-Certified drivers.Then you also have drivers from 3rd-parties:* Driver sales from ExtraVegetables, BlackWire, and others.* Drivers on manufacturer's sites* Drivers on other sitesIt's somewhat of a hodge-podge, and as far as I know, there is no Master List. Dealers find drivers for the gear they're interested in, and their homeowners are interested in, or create them for the project.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seth_j Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I tried with luadrivers.com... didn't really take off mostly because I got really busy and didn't have time to dedicate to it... also there's not revenue stream from it so I'm less motivated to do anything with it.

turls Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Ok, that's what I thought, so I think it would make a great sticky to have an unofficial master list compiled by users here, which seems to be what this thread is accomplishing. Thanks for the summary...didn't realize the C4 database had both certified and non-certified. Hopefully it is kept relatively up-to-date, but even if it is, I learned more specifics about 3rd party drivers from visiting a few websites than I did flipping through the C4 database.There is no 'master list'.

turls Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Ok, I compiled an Outlook note to myself, luadrivers, BlackWire, RecluseAV, Diamond Designs, ExtraVegetables, Control4 site list, manufacturers web sites, anybody else to add to the list?Anybody else want to keep a summary shopping list here is mine:(deleted, see first post) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seth_j Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 http://luadrivers.com/developersLuaDrivers isn't for free drivers. There are also paid drivers. I was trying to make a review site where dealers could review existing drivers -- this has been a request from dealers for a while. I didn't have the time and there was/is little interest. It might be shut down in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called it an "aggregation" site...now if they are free or not I'm off the hook Thanks for the catch on this site, been a while since I even looked there and I forgot about it. Fixed. Thanks.

neil12011 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 ah, coffee, my only true friend...morning all. lol @ all of ya. let me know if yall ever get that elusive step 2 figured out.@ turls. while it may not appear that WebRadio is ur typical driver, it was the only way to get WebRadio to work due to some flaws in the C4 dev platform. when i won the competition, i literally waited to the last minute (if it wasn't for that last minute, i'd never get anything done) to submit WebRadio, and within moments of submitting, C4 called up to say how excited they were and that i'd won the competition. now if only i could explain to them why and how it worked, cuz they couldn't figure it out. roughly speaking, i had a cpl of "hacks" and a "patch" crammed in there to make some of the expected media player functionality actually work.jasonWhat are you even talking about?
