CFUG Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 The QIP 6416 driver works on the 7232. That driver is in the online database. I had to mod that driver to include some the whacky buttons FiOS uses but that's not a big deal.The switcher driver probably will need to be created through Wizard. What do mean "from a couple of different spots"? It can be manipulated either using IR or (cough) serial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do mean "from a couple of different spots"? It can be manipulated either using IR or (cough) serial.It can be controlled using serial. Never made a driver before. Anything in particular I should be wary of?Side note. Once I've added the cable boxes, do I connect the video output to the TV? I'm so new to this...

SMHarman Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 INPUTSMotorola DVR (set top box) - QIP 7232Motorola (set top box) - QIP 7100and anything else Roku / BluRay / PopBox / (and maybe the HC OSD)Connected to >>>>This white labeled HDMI swticher, matrix thingie that seems to be from a couple of different spots. - CSW-HD440EXTOUTPUTSTVSYou will also need to run wire to put an IR / Serial / IP control of the on / off of the TV (and maybe the source if you have an HC for OSD on the screen). Of course if an HC is behind / near the TV then the runs for TV control are much shorter than if all of this equipment is centralized and the TV signal is being sent by HDMI.

ceeeelo Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Next issue is IR ports... I've used up 6 of the IR plug spots on my HC 800... yet I have another 6 devices to control via IR (a couple more televisions, some audio equipment and random devices) How do I move forward? Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 you have a few options. You can use a Z to IR bridge from Access Tech to get 2 additional IR ports at each location. You can use addition old controller (like 200's) at a TV location to get 4 more IR ports, or Control 4 makes an IO extender - http://www.control4.com/products/controllers/C4-IOX-E-B Which is also made for this purpose.

SMHarman Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Or you can have 2 different devices off one ir port. Need different command sets though so not the two Motorolas. Msfgreen has more elegant solutions. Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceeeelo Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Thanks msgreef for the swift response! It looks like I'll be on the hunt for one of those soon enough. C4-IOX-E-B = the way to go to keep it all Control 4 goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceeeelo Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 How about a nifty solution to keep all the email alerts from Control 4 which get via sent to my mobile via some sort or exchange server to always come from the same email address instead of some randomly generated email by AT&T (does that even make sense?).

msgreenf Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 There are at least 4 or 5 different options for push drivers. I use the one from thedriverslab.com Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I can get one for uAnd the app is pretty cheap as wellI can shoot u a pm shortlyHopefully doing well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 there are quite a few, but ive only used the prowl w/ push notfy...and have never had an issuei dont know much about the others, perhaps msgreenf can give his take on the other he mentioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 The one I mentioned uses pushover. It works great but you have to buy the app. Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceeeelo Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 Tried Pushover as its was an attractive option... wow. Very cool thus far. Thanks peoples. Next item I'm looking for is a driver to let me use my Wemo (http://www.extravegetables.com/products/belkin-wemo) via Control4. Can someone here hook me up?

ceeeelo Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 Ignore? Why that? Was there some sort of violation of code on my part? Only reason I ask is because another dealer on this site told me to ask as something popped up and suggested I ask... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMHarman Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 No I was just pointing out that EV has this driver. Something you know. You just want someone to sell it to you. Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceeeelo Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 Is that bad? I don't have an EV acct... I'm not a dealer... How else would I get the driver? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMHarman Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Now I am typing from a computer not a tapattalk here goes. I thought you were asking how to connect your wemo to control4, i responded posting a link to the EV driver as your solution. Then I re-read your post and realised you knew the solution just needed an implementation so I deleted my post and replaced it with the duh, nevermind. and here we are... No this is not bad, you are better picking a remote dealer in the dealer forum and asking them directly rather than expecting them to read all the post and find you but this is the correct approach.
