JGLI Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I'm about to move into a new home with a complete C4 system; my current house has élan G. My installer is doing much of the programming, but I plan on doing much tweaking myself as I did in élan. One question I had is if it is possible to interact with data from the Internet to change programming - i.e, can you change settings on a thermostat based on projected highs and lows of the outdoor temperature. I would also like to be able to pull data from a calendar site when a Jewish holiday starts so we can put our house into Sabbath/Holiday mode. Sabbath (Shabbos/Shabbat) is easy because it happens every Friday, but our other holidays are based on a lunar calendar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Africa C4 user Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 There is more than one way of doing this but the most all encompassing and versatile is probably to install the Chowmain IFTTT driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGLI Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Thanks. Probably need to write my own (or find someone) to get the Jewish Holidays from hebcal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Africa C4 user Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Should be pretty easy to do with Google calendar and the above mentioned IFTTT driver which can link this to C4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msgreenf Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 You can use either the ifttt driver or the Google Calendar driver. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanchow Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 We're actually releasing a driver for the hebcal service next week. @JGLI contacted us to advise us of this great webservice. As such Shabbat, Jewish Holidays, Candle lighting and Havdalah are now implemented into Control4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGLI Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 Awesome!!. Question is what will the text to speech algorithms do with all our holidays like Shavuot/Sukkhot, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candle lighting and Havdalah will execute at the respected times on friday/saturday and holidays. The drivers finished but i haven't got the time to publish it at the moment due to other projects. Should be up next week for sale sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
