You need to use the Amazon AppStore, NOT the Microsoft one.. also, guessing you need to install the Android subsystem too? Generally here in Australia though, we're the last ones to get these things

Yep. Using the Amazon App Store and Android subsystem. Since it wasn’t showing when I search for it, I eventually just downloaded the apk from another site so I do have it running at the moment. It’s just super weird that it isn’t coming up. I do see it if I search for it in the Web version of the Amazon App Store, and it lists my windows device as a compatible device in that experience so yeah totally beats me at the moment.

And of course after all my complaining, I go downstairs to try to figure it out some more and now it is showing up..lol.

I think what my issue was is that my PC was showing up twice in my list of Amazon Devices.  I de-registered the older record, and now it shows.  Although before I did that, I was able to see other apps in the Amazon App Store, so still a little weird but hey it is working now.

 

With that said I still can't get opening cameras beyond the thumbnail view to work.

The Control4 for OS 3 app has officially been released through the Amazon app store on Windows Subsystem for Android.  Note that the Microsoft and Amazon haven't rolled out support to all countries and regions yet, but as they do this will become available to you.

Here is their current list of Countries and regions that support Amazon Appstore on Windows.

Nice y'all are supporting the app in Windows!

Question: Does this version offer any advantages over sideloading? Mine has been working great for a year, albeit without notifications, which would def. be a plus.

Also, where did you get the APK from? If you got it from the Internet randomly, not sure how safe a lot of them are or whether you can guarantee they aren't trojaned (although unlikely).

Whereas the copy on Amazon carries less risk imho
