  1. project properties only apply to items added AFTER they are set. But yes you can go to each light and set the colour as desired (on any c4 light, many 3rd party lights is using keypads, but not all) Note, you can do one, then press apply to to pus it to any others you want as well)
  2. If you mean the ZWAVE ones instead of the Control4 ZigBee ones, yes they can be integrated, thoguh tehri level of integration isnt quite as advanced (limts to user management, autolock - that sort of thing)
  3. Yup To be clear for others coming across this, the Just Add drivers don't switch audio as such, the stereo breakout is on the transmittet, so you just 'pretend' that the source is going to the audio matrix and ignore that there's a converter in between - no different than if you're using a 'normal' hdmi audio breakout device. As with those 'normal' ones, there's the usual caveats:\ -some source drivers are 'too accurate' and don't include a stereo output so a converter driver needs to be added -if doing this on the receiver side (at the TV) then pretend it's coming from the TV instead of the source, and ensure the AV pathsetter is used so you don't get into a fight with the missus when the master TV gets turned on late at night when you are watching some late night TV in the living room
  4. Again, you'd have to test how well the bridge communicates the current status to C4. If it does this reliable and reasonably fast, you could have C4 ONLY do the back open command whenever the sensor is open. That would allow a 'permanent' sort of override by C4 per blind that will trigger regardless of whatever schedules you have set in the app. On time programming (per blind that needs it) and you can keep using the HD app if you like. If it doesn't - then yes you'd have to remove any schedules from the HD app and move it over to C4.
  5. ... Two obvious options. -Integrate the Tekmar (pricey to do) with the Tekmar driver and the gateway -Use a C4 v2 thermostat running on battery. Yes that floor sensor uses the same resistance as a c4 external sensor. May need a bit of tweaking in the temp offset but otherwise works just fine.
  6. It's not a T3 vs T4 or a combo option: they're working just fine for me here (literaly, I can see a T3 and a T4 from where I'm typing this, and both are using photo screensaver). This part I don't know about BTW - I'm talking about the photo screensaver working as such. Right? Same here, if they don't work I get complaints quicker than if a TV doesn't work. Anyway, i did have a small issues after a recent update, where photos were frozen and Composer was throwing similar errors - in my case the USB stick that holds my pictures was in unknown stae - i ONLY rebooted the contreoller that had it inserted and things came back - might be worth a try if that's how you're doing it. What is your storage setup ... using a NAS?
  7. Hmm. The biggest issue i think is that they don't report in (well?) when using anything but C4 to control them. If they do (it's been a while since I dug deeply into the integration of HD) you could only program a counter command. WHEN blind closes IF sensor is open delay 250ms open blind Dont think there's anything in the app C4 can't do if needed, but yes the app has some ease of use.
  8. More rugged construction. Many aren't actually IP rated (cost money, Axxess is a small company) but I've had a motion outside under soffit for over a decade (somewhat covered, still exposed to weather, and it can reach -40 here in extremes....and no it doesn't matter what scale you use). As an example that motion reads...well motion obviously, as well as temperature and humidity (though to be fair, so does the Nyce ceiling motion. Overall Axxess items are just a bit more, dunno, durable feeling? Both companies have their own unique offerings as well (Nyce had a door hinge sensor, Axxess a simple doorbell to integrate, touch keypads and lamp adapters). Note the garage tilt for nyce is discontinued - as is their mini keyfob control.
  9. To be clear, Hue by itself won't reach the distance either, you'd need to get that bridge or indeed a CA1 closer to the gate, of use a wifi implementation if you can get a reliable wifi signal out there. (I suppose you COULD run a CA1 wireless for it if lines are not available by the way)
  10. Well, I could argue that YOU are making it more complicated by adding yet another layer to the mix to begin with. Also, I'll just continue to solder to a MyQ button of some sort...that triggers the built-in beep and delay just fine That said, you would still be USING that same driver, there just isn't a relay attached directly to it, only the same sensors (which is drag and drop) to ensure proper feedback, and two lines of code. Of course, as Alan has already stated it should be easy to do just fine in the driver and just wants to test it, that's even better. I'd argue that if UL is your concern, it's still a step away from the actual implementation - and I would argue that you are actually taking on MORE liability by implementing a 3rd party methodology, especially if you're thereby overriding the manufacturer implementation. I should clarify that I don't disagree with your point that the alert and delay are very important - it's why I prefer the solder method to extra buttons to begin with.
  11. Hmm I would say the Ratgo does not intrinsically meet that requirement. Making the programming meet that is as simply as hiding the actual driver, then using a virtual one with only the sensors attached to program against. WHEN vistual garage door is closed, toggle internal and externla light {xx even numer of timer} , play Frank Caliendo doing Arnold yelling 'Get out, get out of here now!' on loop, delay xx seconds, lower door.
  12. Well I'll take that as the learn something new to me for the day! Didn't know it existed, will have to have a closer look at this one. https://drivercentral.io/platforms/control4-drivers/camera-intercom/message-sender/
  13. Both Axxess and Nyce work, slight preference to Axxess for the added features they have on many devices. Be sure to get the c4 versions though a c4 dealer - generic ZigBee versions won't work.
  14. Not a simple answer as it depends on what the LED is (on), and potentially on what is connected if anything and/or if its programmed. If it's current C4 lighting you need to fine the selection for top/bottom and potentially toggle and set them appropriately. For the 'regular dimmer/switches you need to scroll down a bit, for the essentials you need to select the main driver (not the button sub-driver) and it's right at the top. Older lighting only has on/off and toggle follows the on/off settings for top button. For keypad buttons attached to a light, it will follow the toggle light settings (unless you have separate connections for on and off) Similarly, buttons attached to a lighting scene it follows the lighting scene settings (you'll find similar top/bottom/toggle options under the advanced lighting scene agent) Other lighting or devices it will depend on the driver - if it can track at all, where the settings are, what can be set and so on. If the lights aren't tracked or have no settings, see a little further below. SOME device and room drivers (Room Control comes to mind, many but not all blind drivers some relay style drivers, some experience button drivers have similar though sometimes more advanced control for multiple settings/options (this would include some RGB style drivers that can be set to follow a representation of the actual light color) If you're looking to do it for device on/off sort of scenarios on keypads or anything that can't be 'auto' tracked, the button has to be sett to have the LED (fully) programmed and you'll have to program in the logic (LED wizard driver can help) In the end if you're having trouble,p lease note exactly what device 's led your trying to set and based on what being on/off PS LED BACK lighting cannot be individually be changed, the whole keypad uses a singular backlight - though that backlight CAN be changed in colour, including via programming.
