k3nnis Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 there are some announcement improvements in 2.10 that may make it even faster. But i was using it under 2.9.1 and it was good.Ok thanks. I will stay on 2.91 for now as I have a hc200 as well coming to control my HT. Very basic system Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Hi All, I have ring doorbell 2 operated via batteries and wifi. If I integrate my ring doorbell with this driver into C4, if someone pushes the doorbell does it still bring up the ring app ? Will this driver display video on who is at the front door? or will it have both playing back mp3 audio via speakers and also bring up video via the ring app? How do you guys have it set up? Thanks, K. Deleted - I didn’t see msgreenf posts answering the question(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you give me some insight on how you are bringing up on screen the other camera? I've been struggling with this piece.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need an Elk 930 doorbell detector module to convert the 24 volt AC doorbell signal into a contact closure signal. https://www.elkproducts.com/product-catalog/elk-930-doorbell-and-telephone-ring-detector You probably also need a 24v AC doorbell transformer in the loop to replicate an actual door come circuit: transformer positive to Ring in Ring out to Elk 930 doorbell sense in Elk 930 doorbell sense out to transformer negative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ring fails to display, no big deal. But I need lights to trigger in sequence if the bell is pressed for a family member that is deaf. On 11/23/2017 at 4:07 PM, jfh said: From everything I read both here and elsewhere it sounded easy. And I figured I couldn't be the only person who wanted to use the function with Control4. It can trigger a standard chime. How can it not trigger some open/close contact state to C4? 4 hours ago, Matt Lowe said: He has the elite which is poe powered. Also with the driver you do not need to hook up the door bell wires @Matt Lowe If you read @jfh's other comments, he also wants local control as a backup to the cloud integration. The only way to do that is with the ELK 930 and a conventional doorbell circuit (which does not necessarily have to be connected to a chime.)

Matt Lowe Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 If he has a bell attrached that is correct. If not can use a simple relayno problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am adding a ring doorbell and have Hikvision camera on the porch, can you get the event driver to put the Hikvision feed on to T3 panels then when the ring doorbell is activated or motion detected as my dealer said this can’t be done.

Stevestobo Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 The camera is analog but it is displayed on the panels with a driver, is it still a no in that case. I am new to Control4, only had it installed a month ago so still learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even added the ring chime sound to the announcement agent and play it in the T3. Same for the motion alert sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lippavisual Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Uh...its not C4's problem..it's the POS Ring product that isn't allowing it. They want you to pay them monthly for your recordings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go back and read in this thread Kevin from Blackwire talked about how C4 needed to change some things before they could get the Ring recordings to show up.

Spend resources making changes so a third party driver for a third party product gets new features? Not saying it won't happen but I can't imagine it's a priority.
