  2. Pretty sure I read somewhere that essential switches only have a blue led (no other colors).

  4. What a great driver! I have been eyeing these devices for a while but didn’t realize they had a WiFi one - will be picking up a couple and a couple instances of this driver for two projects. Thank you @alanchow and team you guys are constantly enabling great new integrations!
  5. So I jumped the gun, I thought the update I made would help but I’m still having the same issue.

  7. Overview Chowmain releases Airthings driver for Control4. Established in 2008, Airthings is a global tech company led by a team of experienced scientists, engineers, developers and visionaries, with a common goal: to educate on the prevalence of radon, as well as other indoor air contaminants, and develop accessible technology solutions to help people stay healthy. The Airthings driver for Control4 provides integration to Airthings View Plus, Wave Mini and Wave Radon products to allow monitoring and automation of air quality in a home. Monitored measurements include Radon PM 2.5 CO2 Humidity Temperature TVOC Pressure Mold Note measurements are model specific so please verify the model selected monitors the measurements you are interested in. These measurements can be viewed on Control4's touchscreens and mobile applications via a custom web view. A link on the web view will take you through to the Airthings dashboard for historical and other data. On top of this integrators can add additional automation via built-in push and email notifications along with program automation macros when measurements reach specified levels. This ensures that a home owner is informed when unhealthy air is detected and the home is purified/ventilated via Control4. Driver Features View Plus Radon PM 2.5 CO2 Humidity Temperature TVOC Pressure Wave Mini Humidity Temperature TVOC Mold Wave Radon Temperature Humidity Radon Graphical UI for viewing live device data on Control4 touchscreens and mobile applications with description of health risks Temperature and Humidity bindings available for the Control4 Temperature Display (OS 2.10+) driver Ability to login to the Airthings Dashboard to view history from the Control4 app / Touchscreens via the driver's Webview Variables for all available data from each device Events for various levels allow automation of air purification and ventilation. Automatic Push and Email Notifications for all available measurements (requires 4sight) warns customers of potentially hazardous health risks. FAQ Why is this product so exciting? This product allows a home owner to monitor and automate air quality in their home including radon, PM2.5, CO2, Humidity, Temperature, TVOC, Mold and Pressure. Measurements are exposed to Control4 and allow Control4 to automate purification and ventilation of the home. What hardware will this work on? The following devices are currently supported: View Plus Wave Mini Wave Radon Why do I need to login to the Airthings Dashboard every time I open the webview? The Airthings Dashboard requires a login to access the data. This is a security feature of the Airthings Dashboard. Control4's UI doesn't keep a history of browsing activity for webview drivers. As a result any authentication data is lost when the webview is closed. What is Radon? Radon is an invisible gas formed in the Earth’s crust. It surrounds every one of us as part of the air we breathe. High levels over long periods of time are the issue. By monitoring radon long term, you can be alerted when levels are high and make small changes to improve the air you breathe. What are VOCs? Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are a combination of gases and odors emitted from many different toxins and chemicals found in everyday products such as, candles, fragrances, cooking fumes, new furniture, cleaning products, paints and varnishes. What is PM2.5? PM2.5 refers to atmospheric particulate matter (PM) that have a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers, which is about 3% the diameter of a human hair. Commonly found in smoke and haze, these particles can be inhaled and cause serious health issues. What is CO2? Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colorless, odorless gas that is a by-product of combustion. It is a natural component of air, but when levels are too high, it can cause health problems. What is Mold? Mold is a microscopic fungus that helps nature decompose dead organic material. Both mold and mildew are different types of fungus, but mold is usually shades of black, blue, red, and green, whereas mildew is white. What is Pressure? Atmospheric pressure is commonly measured with a barometer and is an indicator of weather. In a barometer, a column of mercury in a glass tube rises or falls as the weight of the atmosphere changes. Meteorologists describe the atmospheric pressure by how high the mercury rises. When a low-pressure system moves into an area, it usually leads to cloudiness, wind, and precipitation. High-pressure systems usually lead to fair, calm weather. Do you offer any other cool drivers? Control4 is a major part of our business. We develop new drivers all the time.

  8. I have gone to the property of the switch and made changes: green for ON and Red for off. BUT the blue light does not change. The switch i have is C4-V-SW120277. It has a single LED at the bottom that stays Blue in color. Is this switch LED Programmable? I am sorry for the repeated same question
  9. I usually took a photo of the kitchen (especially because some of these houses have kitchenettes). And sometimes I would also filter the picture to make it slightly darker or lighter
  10. I changed strategies a little and I am now using AI generated images from Co-pilot. It's working really well and can get pretty close to what I want
  11. Im on 3.4.1.701307 so I will update th the next version which will be the current one. I also experienced this issue on 3.3.3.
  12. Correct, but it is a very expensive way to get a doorbell!
  13. Not sure a thermostat will have very good sound quality compared to an Arc soundbar...
  14. You need to do why Cyknight said and go to the properties of the switch/dimmer/keypad and adjust the LED settings there. If that isn't working verify the switch is online.
  15. Nothing works on changing the blue color at the bottom of the switch. Any ideas as to what I can do?
  16. Hear hear! Strongly recommend OS3 and it is simple enough to switch between properties in one app.
  17. Yeah, I've seen that one, and I've linked others to it for consideration. Great that it did the job for you. And the guy with the issues has updated his JVC to the current firmware, for exactly this reason. What a world, what a world...
  18. TLDR details. Maybe that the driver you're trying to use requires OS3.
  19. I just used a generic one from Amazon. The other thing which was essential to make it reliable in my case was to update the projector. There was an update last Aug or around there that increased compatibility with JVC & many fiber HDMI cables
  20. I have been having a similar issue. Try updating to the latest OS on your phone and see if that changes anything
  21. As far as I'm concerned, it's better to buy a good gaming pc
  22. The right solution is to upgrade to os 3. Switching properties is very fast now. Ask @South Africa C4 user
  23. Last week
  24. Yes, I understand that OS3 has live previews and I wouldn't have to deal with snapshots. However this project is a second home and I have one property on OS 2 and one on OS3. That way I can have two easy access icons on my phone. Connecting to a different controller via the settings button is too slow. Unfortunately the one I'm trying to get these cameras to work on is on OS 2. Thanks for the reply though
  25. Actually there is a way i can do it if it is fully closed since we get state / position. A toggle command when it is fully closed will always perform an open. This means that opening will not be effected. Only when it is partially or fully open will the delay happen.
  26. I was thinking of maybe burying electrical wire up much of the path and using hue bulbs and a second bridge attached at the back of the house. The path starts about 50ft from the house, so the first bulb and subsequent going down path should act as extenders, correct? The CA1 wireless is an option to if pathway lighting is not done.
  27. I was wondering if you guys could help me out. I want to integrate hikvision wifi cameras onto my system. My system is running 2.10.6 with an ea-5 The hikvision camera i'm trying to install is a DS-2cv2041g2-idw I had my dealer install some random drivers into the system so I could play with them. I have a hikvision driver as well as ispy drivers (one with a place to enter a mjpeg url and one without) So here's my basic problem, I can NOT get thumbnails/preview working on my Android phone or touchscreens. However, I get previews on my ipad. So on the driver side: the hikvision drivers basically automatically detect the new cameras. They get the right model # and firmware, I can see the preview and pull up the video on my ipad. I can pull up video, but the preview/ thumbnail remains a "no image blank space" on my android phone and touchscreens. I can't enter in a snapshot url in this driver. The ispy drivers. After entering in all the ip address, port info, login, etc. After some searching I even got the correct urls for the RTSP and the snapshot. The RTSP url works in VLC and it works on my phone, ipad and touchscreens. The thumbnail/snapshot http url works in Chrome - I can pull an image, but the preview only works on my Ipad - my android phone and touchpad are blank spaces I am going nuts. I have tried resizing the image using query parameters. I've gone all the way from 1920x1080, 720x480, 640x480, even down to 320x 240 and it resizes in chrome after checking the dimensions, but I can't, no matter what I do get a thumbnail to work on my phone or the touchscreens. for example i've got this in my snapshot url now: ISAPI/Streaming/channels/102/picture?videoResolutionWidth=1920&videoResolutionHeight=1080&output-format=jpg I've changed all different combinations of digest and basic authentication. On the camera side I've tried all the different resolutions offered of the substream (not that it should matter as all I want is a thumbnail and the video does already work) I've gone from 1280x720p all the way down to 640x480. I've toggled it from h.264 to mjpeg... and I can still get video - but I can never get a preview on my android phone or those darn touchscreens. Does anyone have any ideas??
