Not confirming or denying, but if you were included as part of any theoretical beta, this single line would break the beta agreement, and if you're not part of a beta, someone telling you this would be breaking their beta agreement...

The Lua script needs to be run *within the driver*, not as a command-line on the controller, so this wouldn't do it.
The proper way is to get the driver fixed.

Not typically.
ComposerHE lets you do nearly everything dealers can do with ComposerPro, with the exception of:
Adding / Renaming new devices and rooms (including 'swapping out' TVs or other devices for different models) Making *bindings* (connections) between devices, including network addressing Doing loops in programming There are many 'on-line' dealers who will (for a small fee) add and connect new devices, and loops in programming are rarely needed with timers, which are typically a better option.
Most other programming, including ad-hoc things like programming 'When motion sensor triggers, and it's nighttime, turn on lights' can be done with ComposerHE.

A few points about the Auto Lock driver:
The Door Auto Lock driver is free, in Control4's online database.  Your dealer may charge you something to install it, but it doesn't cost anything for the driver itself. You've never been able to adjust the values of the auto lock driver on a T3's User Interface.  You may be able to adjust individual lock's auto lock time via the lock UI, but I recommend you disable that if you use the auto lock timer driver. You can programmatically turn on/off the auto locking via ComposerPro programming, but can't adjust the locking time. There are a couple of other benefits of the Auto Lock driver vs. using the built-in lock timer: Auto Lock driver works with a contact for the door being closed, so doesn't lock the door until *after* the door is closed. Auto Lock driver shows up as a UIButton, showing state of the door, open, closed and unlocked, closed and locked. Auto Lock driver can be configured to lock the door via the UIButton on the UI, but to not allow unlocking, for security reasons (which you can't do with Control4's standard Door Lock driver) It's a great idea to add a way to adjust the auto lock time via a variable, but unfortunately, I don't have the time to add functionality (and test / verify it's working) to that driver at the moment, with CEDIA coming up and plenty of family activities and responsibilities as we approach the school year.

P.S.  My Auto Lock driver is *not* encrypted, so if you know of another developer who can figure out Lua, they could probably add the variable, and have it update the property, and then it'd be available for ComposerHE programming.

I totally agree that Charlie is great and I don't think there's a better fit for CTO at Control4, and he's done wonders in the time he's been here (getting OS 3.0 out the door with a level of quality that was required), but I'll also say that Martin Plaehn as CEO took the company up a lot of notches during the time he was leading the company, and without Martin, we wouldn't have Charlie.

I'm looking forward to seeing how John Heyman leads the combined company.
From what I've seen, the whole SnapAV team is very forward-thinking, and I have high hopes for the future.

P.S.  Nothing I'm saying in this post should be construed to be an official communication of SnapAV+Control4, but I'm guessing they wouldn't mind me saying it...

@ryane Glad to hear that you’re excited and confident about the leadership. Wishing you much success and happiness in the next chapter.

Must say the Roll out OS3 and Control4 Staff reaching out about Beta Testing as been great. 
Hell of a lot less issues for such a big release compared to 2.10
Can tell Charlie is in Charge 
Starting to Like the New Management feels more Corporate than Start UP
Keep up the Good Work 

Yeah, complete destruction of this industry by 'the big boys' is always 5 years out...

RyanE - this corrected the problem.  Thank you so much.

A .c4z is just a .zip file.
I assume original poster's issue is that they have file extensions turned off on Windows, and they're seeing 'filename.c4z', when in reality, the true filename is 'filename.c4z.zip'.

Although I won't give a timeline or details, this was not included due to time constraints and should be addressed in an upcoming release.

Ari, looks like max load on the HS110 is 15A (https://www.kasasmart.com/us/products/smart-plugs/kasa-smart-plug-energy-monitoring-hs110). 
I'm not sure any of the WiFi controlled plugs (from any any brand) will handle anything over 15A. I have seen this Aeotec Zwave switch (https://aeotec.com/outdoor-z-wave-switch/) designed for appliances that will handle up to 40A. Looks much more involved than the simple WiFi plugs, but you could at least pair with a Zwave hub and control/monitor remotely still. 

According to this, the HS110 works up to 240V:

YMMV...  :)

I recently added one of the TP-Link energy monitoring plugs (HS110) to my washing machine. When the cycle finishes, I programmed an announcement telling us the load needs changed and, because we are really good at ignoring things, I have a C4 push notification sent to our phones 15 minutes later to remind us (probably need to send notifications about 3 more times though). 
I use the Chowmain TP-Link and Advanced Announcements drivers for this.

Honestly, there is no reason to wait to upgrade unless you have incompatibility hardware (e.g. HC250) or incomparable drivers (e.g. security drivers on security proxy V1). OS3 seems to have many less bugs (well done C4) than most previous versions and, as MS said earlier, this is software... every version will have some bugs!

I want my 2011 Ford edge upgraded to a 2019...

Oh give me a break. 
Existing systems don’t stop working when an upgrade comes out. 
Lets think of HVAC as you suggest. When trane releases a more efficient furnace, do they let you upgrade your existing one to make it the same efficiency? No.
When they come out with a WiFi smart thermostat, do they let you download an upgrade to give your thermostat the same features? No. You have to buy a new one. 

He probably had Composer 2.10.6 open not 3.0
