I think it is time to upgrade. Not done yet. This is a DIY project and I travel a lot. I do have the hardware and can’t wait to get it installed. Could be 3 or 4 more weeks.

Why the IQ Pro vs 3/4? This is more of a commercial panel?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was finally able to complete the install of my Qolsys IQ4 Pro panel. Replacing the panel and all the wiring was tedious but not too difficult. Programming was easy but somewhat limited and not as easy to work with as the DLS5 desktop software the DSC Neo panel uses. Control4 integration uses the same IQ2 panel driver and was VERY EASY. I wanted a panel that allows easy integration to C4 and simultaneous 3rd party monitoring. This offers it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmypop Posted November 17, 2023 Author Share Posted November 17, 2023 I discussed my install with AlarmGrid techs and they said go with the IQ Pro. After install and attempted configuration I don't see any 3rd Party Integration in the IQ Pro. I think the comments above are confusing on IQ4 Pro. I am not sure that exists. If someone has success in integration with the actual IQ Pro, please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also looking to move to the Pro instead of the IQ 4 panel via AlarmGrid but want to make sure the IQ Pro does enable C4! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not order a Qolsys touch panel with the Pro in hopes to use C4 TP and mobile. I believe accessing the settings for 3rd party integration can only be done through the Qolsys TP. I do not see any similar options in the Pro Installer mobile app. AlarmGrid support told me today "I have an update direct from Johnson Controls (the parent company of Qolsys) and they state the integration is not YET supported for Control 4 and that the expected release is FW Version 4.3.0 which is to be released January 2024." Based on others in the chat above it seems it does work. I'm going to order a Qolsys TP in hopes I can find the 3rd party integration settings. If anyone else can confirm with screen captures or show me the settings in the IQ Installer GA please let me know. BigMac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdaddyo811 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I’m confused. I have the panel and under WiFi I don’t see control4. How are people installing it? BigMac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you or your dealer following the instructions in the driver for integrating the panel the C4? I only ask because it was very straight forward to complete this integration. No hassle whatsoever. I do not have screen shots of the install process and I do not plan to reinstall since it’s working. But i can guarantee the IQ Pro integrates with C4. And as i said above, I do have the IQ TP and may have had to use it in setting up the integration, I just do not recall exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Johnson Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Same here - I'm onsite at a client's house right now, I've applied the 4.2.3n patch, no dice, I only have neo touch panels. What IQ Touchpanel do you have ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmypop Posted December 3, 2023 Author Share Posted December 3, 2023 I'm pretty sure you need an IQ TP. After experiencing that with an unsuccessful install with C4 TP only I didn't see the need for the Pro when you can get a IQ4 for cheaper. Add a wired to wireless board if needed and still cheaper. Mine is en route and I will post my install findings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the Pro includes PowerG and dual-path communications, making the Pro a more cost effective solution for me. But I agree, look at your use case and chose the right product for you. timmypop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMac Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 I just installed an IQ Pro and there was nothing in the IQ Installer mobile application that exposes anything that looks like Control 4. I also installed an IQ Remote Power G touch panel to go with it - nothing there either. The settings on the touch panel are pretty rudimentary (display brightness, run a connectivity test, software update, an about screen) - nothing advanced enough to expose C4. Latest software for the TP and 4.2.3n (latest) for the IQ Pro. The mystery continues on how it showed up for some folks like C4 User but not others!

Are you sure you are logging into settings using the installer code? Settings - Advanced Settings - Installation - Devices - WiFi Devices - 3rd Party Connections? Once you enable, the system will reboot. You then go back to 3rd Party Connections to generate a token that you will need to enter into Control 4. Be ready, because the token must be entered within a time limit. Bottom line, if you follow the driver instructions carefully, it’s a straight forward setup and works flawlessly from my experience. There is nothing in IQ Pro that says Control 4, it only generates a 3rd Party Connection token. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 You need to use the DEALER code, not the INSTALLER code to expose the option for 3rd party connections. Not sure on the Pro specifically mind you, but that's what it's been on current IQ2 software, IQ4 and IQHub BigMac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMac Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Cyknight - that was the missing ingredient! Connecting to the IQ Pro using the IQ Installer app and using the default dealer code (2222) exposed third party apps! Thank you all!

madler11 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Has anyone successfully used the IQ Panel 4 with more than one partition? Just looking to confirm that someone has this working before moving forward. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looking to confirm that someone has this working before moving forward. Thanks! It works. I have an iq4 in control4 with 2 partitions. The panel itself supports 4 partitions, but the documentation says only 2 are recommended if you bring it into c4. One thing to note about partitions on the iq2 and iq4 - no common zones.

Jason Johnson Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 This is great Cyknight. Now that i've setup a system, any way to add a dealer code back in ? I only see master, guest & user as the options, my installer code and dealer code options are no longer listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
