MTS Power Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Has anyone been successful with automating a TV lift with C4? I see they have an older generic driver for this but wondering if I can actually use one of the experience drivers. Will have a contact sensor to show the state of the lift. Want to open the lift when the TV comes on and close it when the room goes off. The lift does have an IR control. It's a Whisper Lift XL Pro. Thanks and enjoy the weekend!

phantomgordon Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Isn’t there a Chowmain driver for Nexus21? Is that what you’re referring to ?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTS Power Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 It's not a nexus lift and I believe the Chowmain driver is for IP controlled lifts but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WholeHomeControl Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Doesn’t that lift have a 12V trigger? If so, that would be preferred over IR, and it would likely obviate the need for the contact sensor. There are many ways you can program this. You can use a user experience button for the UI if you’d like. You would just link it to the relay controlling the trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTS Power Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 Very good point. The 12V trigger is the way to go. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomgordon Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 How does the 12v work ? What hardware is involved ? RS-232 trigger device ? How would state be better known with 12v than IR?

jfh Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I use a Chief Mount with IR. It supports serial via RS-485 but the installer never hooked it up ... I’d prefer 2 way status but it’s been working fine for six years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
