battery level notification

[net_tech]

Hi,

 

I am seeing a battery level reported to a shade driver. Is it possible to display an alert on the C4 touch screen or the app when the battery level is reported to be less than 10%?

 

Thanks

There is a Cinegration "Battery Agent" that might work for you.  You'll need a dealer to install/configure.  It does come with a trial period if you want to test it.

I will give it a shot. What about an audio announcement on the touchscreen?

The battery driver does have an icon that can be made visible on any touch screen.  When the battery level is low for a device, it can send a push notification and the icon on the touch screen has a little warning icon over top of it.  You can program the icon for single, double taps.  By default, a single press will just sound the notification of the current battery levels.

You'll need to subscribe to Control4 4Sight to get remote notifications fyi.

There is an annex4 voice driver.  You could program the the voice driver for an announcement on the touch screens. We've never tried the voice announcements on the touch screens.  We typically use them on the over head speakers that are connected to a Triad AMS/ amp setup.

Thank you Jeff, I think I have everything I need!
