Joshua Pressnell Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Is there a way to have iPads or the PC app listed as navigators? I wanted to use the announcements text popup on these, but it seems announcements only supports items identified as navigators in the project, and there don't appear to be any drivers to add them.

Cyknight Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 No, though you can send push notifications to mobile navs (not the PC app) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Pressnell Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 Yeah, but that requires 4Sight and I'm somewhat against paying for subscription services. I set myself up a secure VPN for connecting in. I came to your conclusion on my own after some additional digging and just wrote myself a basic IFTT driver so I can trigger C4 system events into IFTT push notices on my devices. I have a DMZ web server setup that I can use to route IFTT triggers into the system as well, but I haven't come up with a good use for that yet.

Joshua Pressnell Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 Just now, msgreenf said: you are in trouble in today's world. I know... but as a software engineer, I tend to look at things in cost/benefit analysis. If I want it enough to pay for it, then I have to evaluate what the long-term cost of the service will be against my personal time in writing my own version of it. It took me about 20 minutes to setup the VPN. Another 20 minutes or so to get IFTTT working. So at the cost of less than an hour, the only thing I don't have from 4Sight is the Apple Watch app access. While nice to have, if I really want to go that far, I'll connect my C4 system to HomeKit and use that on the watch, but for now, I'm not really missing it. Plus, with IFTTT working via my own driver, I now have that to play with. I was just hoping there might be a simpler way before I through a couple of hours into tinkering.
