That's what ComposeHE is for. I get that it’s a simple wysiwyg setup for end users, but a simple “if” statement is a basic requirement. I guess it can at least be used to change which light a button turns on. i have already mentioned HE to my installer but don’t intend to purchase it until the installer has managed to complete / resolve all the initial issues / bugs.

WHEN-THEN was setup to be a very simple method of giving the most basic user some control. Those that cant 'deal' with HE. 'Simple IF statements' have ALWAYS been available for HE users. I believe you're viewing the C4 when-then implementation the wrong way, as a user programming setup similar to HE - and this is part of why I had mixed feelings on the whole when-then thing was introduced. As for buying HE: While I appreciate wanting a dealer to work out issues before adding things on - HE is really a stand-alone program for your own use, I do not see why you'd hold off on that in that light. Of course I cannot judge your project and dealings so perhaps there is more 'concern' going on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't aware what it's intention was, any cross over (or lack of) with HE (or anything else) but as an un-educated end user, my default assumption was that you can do something useful with it, just that my interpretation of useful was somewhat higher than When > Then is intended for. Given the remit you've indicated, I guess it works and fulfils it and it just goes to confirm that it's not for me and that I will want to go down the HE route. The dealer has been really helpful so far, in fact, whenever I suggest why I might want to do something in HE, they typically go ahead and do it for me. But once everything is dusted and I get to grips with the capability we have bought into, I will want to add programming of my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With HE you can program anything your dealer can. The only thing you really cannot do is add devices or drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it works in the UK....? I'm in Canada but have both US and Canada Prime subscriptions so it works for me. Hopefully C4 and Amazon can make this work for clients from other countries too. How did you make this work. I had a second copy of the driver installed. Signed in using my .com (prime) credentials yet the driver still shoes me in Canada. I am in the States right now so no need for VPN either. ?? ----PARAMS---- ROOMID = 14 NAVID = c4-A0D30F9E-ECE2-490E-8060-901CDB69A985 LOCALE = en-CA SEQ = 35 Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drmark12pa Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 How does one add Amazon music to C4 with this new upgrade? I have IHeart and Sirius apps already running but also have an Amazon Prime membership so wouldn't mind adding this to my system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Africa C4 user Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 Dealer needs to add the Amazon Music driver or the Add Music driver (which allows you to add the Add Music Driver from the Touchscreen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I’m trying to add Amazon music. I have an ea-3 and latest OS. The app is installed and I logged in. I can select Amazon Music through the control4 app and select play. It looks like it’s playing but I have no sound. Receiver changes to correct input but says no signal. This makes me believe no signal is coming out of the digital coax from the EA-3. Does the digital coax need to be enabled somehow on the EA-3? Already swapped the optical coax cable once so I don’t think it is a cable issue. Thanks!JeffSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
