JEC Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Curious if there is a driver that can call a URL w/in control4. I would like to programmatically change the profile in blue iris. This can be done through accessing a specific url on the blue iris server. I ultimately want to create a “party mode” button that (among other things) turns off motion alerts/alarms. Thanks!

I use it as I have different recording profiles based on being home or away from my house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanchow Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 We have a driver which will do that for you. https://www.chowmainsoft.com/generic-tcp-command Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEC Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 @eggzlot Thanks. I am using the "free" C4 BI Driver. I was talking to the author of the other several months ago and he indicated that the pay driver required some update. Additionally I wanted more discrete control than just home / away. @alanchow Thank you! Will check it out. Would be a lot quicker than trying to write my own!

Paid driver has been working fine for me over the last ~3 years. I am on 2.10.x and no hiccups or issues that I can detect. You can get more discrete control - I said I use it for home and away. There are 7 profiles if I am not mistaken in BI. You can program anything in C4 to change those profiles - can be a keypad press, a custom button, an experience button, changing of alarm states, change of variable states, opening of a garage door, etc. Any action within C4 can change to any 1 of the 7 set profiles in BI. Hope that explains it a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
