alanchow Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Both of these drivers can be downloaded from our website (http://www.chowmain.co.nz). Note as free drivers they come as is and without support. Enjoy Arduino Nano This FREE arduino nano driver provides 12 dry contact inputs to your Control4 system through serial based communication. This is useful for connecting input based devices such as doorbells, motion sensors, door/window contacts, garage/gate sensors and more to Control4. A basic understanding of electronics is required to build this extremely cheap solution to expand your Control4 system.

Chowmain is providing a free Control4 driver that will control the MySky (Kaon NS1120) box with discrete infra red IR codes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzeder Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Alan, The skytv driver, is that the new mysky boxes they are rolling out now to old digital box users? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaphod Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Is anybody using the Arduino driver? Is there anything similar that easily lets you add a bunch of relays to your system rather than just contacts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its a free driver but would appreciate any help you could give. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you know how to program then you can program the dry contacts to send HTTP requests to our generic TCP driver. https://www.chowmainsoft.com/generic-tcp-command Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I think I could do that. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Versafel Systems Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 @alanchow is this no longer available? I had a quandary in my head that i have been wanting to try for a while on my own system and was very intrigued about an Arduino as the solution.

We discontinued this driver a while ago as people kept reaching out for support even though it did not come with support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's so sad...... If I offer one delicious cookie and the promise to not bug you, could I play with the old driver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
