hotwire132002 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I'm toying with the idea of creating a simple widget for my computer that would allow some basic control of my most accessed Control4 functions (namely, a few regularly used lighting scenes). I think an "quick access" widget could be incredibly handy.... what I'm trying to figure out is if there's any simple way to interface a program like that with the Control4 system. I have an IR emitter for the computer, so I'm wondering if there's a Control4 driver (or built in function) out there that would allow me to receive IR commands and activate a scene, etc based on them? IP control is also an option, if there's a driver for that...Is this concept realistic, or simply not something that can be easily accomplished? Thanks in advance for any advice...

RyanE Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Control4's Navigators use a socket connection to Director to send commands, etc.This protocol is not supported by Control4 other than for partners who have a need for it, but it would be ideal for the kind of control you're asking about.There is some information about it online, from some who have reverse-engineered it somewhat. If you google 'c4soap', you may find some information regarding it.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xc420 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 IR codes for Control4 and C4HouseLights.zip are in the File Library. IP control is what you want to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
