Programming with Composer

I have a client that installed some Aeotech Multi Sensors. I've added them to the Core 3 and am trying to program them to turn on lights on at certain times and his Nest thermostats to cool if they go above a certain temperature. I'm having trouble understanding the generic C4 sensor driver. Anyone have experience with this that could help me out?

Hi we are using tuya devices in control4 app and now having issue that if device is manually on/off then it will not update status on proxy like alexa or lighting menu so please suggest me best way, how can we update proxy status on/off if the device is manually switched off/on in Control4 using Lua

How can i relabel a media device in Home CE. I am trying to change Xbox to PS5 as an example. Is this something that i really for something so basic call my dealer to do?

I have a 4 zone control-4 amp that is controlled by wall switches. I think some programming has gotten goofed bc it has always worked well until recently. Now the switches can’t control the amp. If I set the amp to use input 1 for a zone (there is only 1 input), I get sound. But selecting the wall button is not effective. Switched have power and appear functional. can this be remotely configured? If so, is that possible with system behind a Firewalla firewall? thanks! mike sarasota FL

So I got a scenario and could use some feedback. I have a wrap around staircase to my basement so I have 2 motion sensors, one at the top of the staircase, and then another at the bottom of the staircase across the hall. That second one at the bottom also captures someone as they walk in from the garage, so it is well positioned and dual duty. These two sensors work together with the advanced lighting timer driver. Just off to the side I have a separate laundry room and we have a separate motion sensor in there (who wants to turn off lights when they leave with folded clothing??). This timer has always functioned on its own. I'd like to join the laundry …

I want to be able to know how long my HVAC is running as in start a timer, when it turns on, and stop the timer when it turns off. Once off, send the timer result to an email. In the Email notification - I can select variables, but not Timer variables. Is there a way to copy the timer result variable into a user defined variable? Or how can I know what the value of a timer is? Maybe there is a different way to do this?

I am currently experiencing a self imposed issue (I think). Some of my outside lights are turning on at night apparently at random times. I fully expect that I have programmed something incorrectly which is causing the issue. I have gone through my project programming thoroughly without finding what is causing the issue. Is there a way, I can look at logs and determine what is triggering the lights? If so can you tell me which file would have the information? I can get the log files from my dealer if I know what to ask for. Thank you for your time and assistance in advance. Brett Krause

Did a search before posting this. Once a C4 dealer installs within a project/adds to OvrC, will Composer Home Edition allow the customer to: 1) Adjust the two levels of 6 band parametric EQ, one for speaker tuning and one for room tuning. 2) Adjust lip sync issues Thank you for the follow up in advance, as the Snap product page is not clear what is restricted to dealer only via Composer Pro. I would assume sound adjustments should be available to the end customer as this would require tweaking after install and to prevent a truck roll.

Hello, I have a customer project where he uses local STB box to stream local cable to his 5TVs around the house. The STB box IR codes are learned via driver wizard and has only Toggle On/Off codes for powering the device. I sometimes run into a situation where the STB Box will invert control while turning on the MoIP Transmission. For now, I have implemented an experience button to emit the On code when the mentioned situation happens. So, I would like to know is there any Programming event that I get from the Transmitter side when video starts playing?

I want to schedule music on control4 How can I go about that sort of stuff. I have controller control4_ea3 is it possible on there ?

Hi all Control4 folks! Im writing here for the first time and I'm absolutely beginner in the topics of programming Control4, so please forgive my ignorance, but I've completely stuck with the following problem. What I would like to achieve is to have my custom buttons (experience buttons?) at the room level in halo touch remote. I understand I can add customized buttons and make them visible in composer navigator, but they are visible only "inside" experience menus (e.g. watch, listen etc.). I would like to have my custom experience button next to experience menu buttons on my halo touch remote screen when I select the room, without the need to enter the experience m…

My director is run on an EA-3 and I also have two add'l AV zones that include EA-1s. The EA-1s seem to have identical uses, but their settings are slightly different regarding ZAP. Just curious, but would there be a reason for this? Below are screenshots of the settings at issue:

I have been working on one of my six-button control panels in Composer HE. My goal was to have Button 1 turn on all outside lights and Button 1 turn them all off. Now Button 1 works as intended, but Button 2 doesn't work at all. There must be something else I need to do to turn them off. Please help. Thank you, Ken Traynham

I have an issue where sometimes some drivers work and sometimes it doesn't! for example the projector is not always switched off when closing the room. If I reset it then it works for some time and then it stops. Another issue I have is the screen, sometimes it role down (KNX shutter driver) and sometimes it doesn't. This is the actions from the room: 1: at start: projector turns on and screen goes down 2: at stop: projector stay on and screen goes up 3: at start: projector stays on and screen does not move (manually down) 4: at stop: projector turns off and screen stays down 5: at start: projector turns on and screen is down 6: at stop: proj…

Does anyone have experience with the Multi Display Manager and Roku mini apps? I have two Roku TVs in one room (Roku Left/Roku Right) using the multi display agent. All connections were added before the agent. Each TV will load mini apps and provide control if individually selected however, only the Roku Left TV will not provide mini app control within multi display agent. Both TVs are set up identically with each having their own mini app connections (YouTube, Hulu, etc.). Any other source within the agent works correctly such as apple tv, DirecTV, etc. Only the mini apps on one tv isn't working. I've tried removing the agent and reinstalling, removing the TVs and reinst…

Trying to get playlists working for when a room is switched on, or equivalent action - essentially having a keypad button that defaults to a specific tidal playlist and starts playing it. On the T4 there are three places it says playlist: As I understand it? If it’s a native TIDAL playlist, as shown under “playlists created by me”, it needs to be added to the C4 playlists as per the image above. However in composer the playlists aren’t shown for the room — it’s empty: What am I missing?

Hello, My Roku IP address changes after a brief power outage or reset and my Control4 remote will not operate Roku. This problem appears to be caused by the Roku boxes being assigned a different IP address than the Control4 system. I wonder if there's a way to change the IP address myself without relying on my rep or is there a permanent solution for setting an IP address in the control4 system? Thank you,

Hello, I asked my vendor to install the Apple TV 4 driver on my system. He's telling me that since iOS (or tvOS) 13 they had a lot of issues and they just decided to not use that driver and instead rely on IR control. Anyone with experience with this can elaborate what is the problem ? Thank you

I am trying to replace my computer and the only thing left is to get composer HE working properly on the new machine. I have downloaded and installed the 2.10.6 version. When I run it, I am asked for the subscription code. I enter the one from my account. I also enter the email and password. I am then confronted with a message of "The underlying connection was closed: An expected error occurred on a send." I have completely bypassed my firewall on this laptop troubleshooting, but to no avail. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I am new to C4 having agreed to take this piece of kit away for testing. The previous installer is no longer contactable and my customer is stuck with a device that works in some respects like the lighting but doesn't seem to allow any operating of the sky q tv box past being able to watch it live I have connected the HDMI output and powered it on and it shows a Control 4 logo then disappears to a blank screen, looking at some YouTube videos it may be that it's not been programmed to use a GUI? I have connected the device to my network and it has an IP address 192.168.1.245 When I connected to the webserver it gives me the following, I would like to look…

I am drawing a blank for what might be really quite simple: is there a pre-configured variable to represent the room name or device a programming event is attached to? In my use case, i do not want to have a separate push notification to explicitly reference that room/device and using what will otherwise be an identical message if i can simply substitute it with a variable. Cheers!

Hi, Not sure if this is possible at all. I have a macro setup that will refresh all the switch colors and comfort settings after a power loss in the house, after startup there is a 30s delay than it runs. one thing I would like it to do if possible is run the "Get Thermostats" script that would be under the actions tab for my Nuheat Floor Thermostats. After some feedback NuHeat (it wasn't nuheat and I forget who made it for them) added a refresh button in the navigator under extras but you have to go in and hit it. This is no big deal if you know there was a power loss but sometimes you don't if it was overnight Is there a way to run something that is under th…

Hello, I want to add some programming which, after a certain action and a time delay, checks whether the garage door is still open and, if so, closes it. The garage door has a contact sensor in my Texecom alarm system which is integrated into Control4. I thought I would see the garage door contact listed in the security section of Composer HE but while I can see many other Texecom sensors, I cannot see this one. However, I know the garage door sensor is integrated into Control4 because Control4 correctly shows the status of the garage door under Locks & Sensors in the Control4 app. How can I find the variable Control4 is using to determine the status of t…

dealer did update to 3.4.1.701303, since then cant log into composer HE. Its running the latest version, says its ready to connect, then when connected, states cant connect to director 192.168...etc
