THE L1ZARD KING Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 C4 just dropped a new app and YT video to setup your Apple Watch with C4. Does anyone have an idea how/what devices get selected for displaying on the Apple Watch? Like the most frequently used etc., currently I see devices of the same type (C4 outlet) show up in one room but not others. Curious how this is done, syncing settings in the app an disabling/reenabling the Apple Watch app didn’t appear to make a difference.

You should be seeing any favorited device in all favorited rooms that have a simple quick action associated with them (on/off, play, toggle). If there is a device showing up in one favorited room but not the other, it's something we would like to look into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Categories like Watch, Security, Lighting, etc. won't show up on the watch. You'll need to have specific devices. A specific light, lock, or device as examples.

Let me know if this persists. It's definitely an odd one that I've never seen before. We rely on Apple's device settings to communicate to us whether or not the app is installed.

DrGonzo65 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Mine says "No System" on the watch, even though my Control4 app on the phone says "enabled" for Apple Watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you first ensure that you have at least one favorited room. If you do, would you mind sending me your log files? I'll send you a message with my email address.

RAV Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Best to think of it like a multi page software keypad on your wrist. Need to touch a "button" from the main room screen and have it execute without any other touching or prompting. So favorited devices like: lights, scenes, channels, streaming services (Netflix), playlists, and executable experience buttons. You do get custom button 'folders' which is nice. So you can change surround modes for example in a theater easily without digging down in the remote. bnorman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I don't think that should have caused any problems. If the watch app is installed when you enter the system details page on the phone, that should be properly reflected on the page you were seeing.

You are correct, I misread the blog, only individual devices that have been favorited appear. I didn’t put that together, thank you for the clarification. bnorman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Venkman Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Does anyone know if the watch app will work if the phone is not present? As in going for a run or a bike ride with the watch (but without the phone) and using it to open the garage upon return? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
