Our Hikvision driver has various smart events built in. Nothing geese specific though but motion should do the trick. Just make sure you program up an experience button or something you can use to disable and enable the programming https://chowmain.software/drivers/control4-hikvision-ipcameras

Overview The LOOKin Remote is an affordable solution to expand your smart home. With built in wi-fi functionality you can place LOOKin Remote anywhere and utilize it’s built in infra-red blaster, infra-red receiver, temperature / humidity sensor and Bluetooth remote pairing to control multiple devices around your home. Features IP Based communications Auto Discovery of Box Can be used to control source devices that accept Bluetooth keyboard / remote pairing. Transport Controls Playback Control Audio End-Point assignment for volume funcitonality Video End-Point assignment Driver Icon can be changed to Amazon Fire TV Apple TV Chromecast with Google TV Nvidia Shield Xiaomi MiBox PC Mac Can expand Control4’s IR outputs. Bind to any IR driver. Can receive IR signals. Program IR remotes to fire programming in Control4 Has temperature and humidity feedback in variables and bindings. Connect to Control4's Temperature Display driver and more FAQ What device can I utilise Bluetooth for? Bluetooth control is perfect for set top boxes which can pair bluetooth keyboards such as Amazon Fire TV Apple TV Nvidia Shield Xiao Mi Mibox PCs Macs and more. What is the IR input used for? The device can detect IR codes when a remote it pointed to it. As such you can utilise 3rd party remote controls to execute programming commands within Control4. The driver will update the Last IR Frequency, Last IR Protocol and Last IR Signal properties every time you send an IR signal to the box. Program the ‘IR Code Received’ event and match on the IRSIGNAL, IRFREQUENCY and IR_PROTOCOL variables based on what is in the properties to fire a suitable macro for each button press. What is the IR output used for? You can expand Control4’s IR outputs using the built in IR blaster. Bind any IR driver and the Lookin Remote will fire the IR code on demand. Note that it is a blaster and as such needs to be in the line of sight of the device it needs to control. Bundle it with our generic relay, generic fan speed or generic lighting driver to control non AV based devices. How do I utilise the temperature and humidity sensors? You can bind the tempeature and humidity sensors to any driver with the correct bindings. For example the temperature display driver for Control4 will allow for bindings to display the values in Navigator. Can we change the icon of the driver to match my device? We have implemented the ability to change the icons to several popular devices. Note that due to the way we have implemented this all instances of the driver will have the same icon. If you are utilising multiple instances of the driver only select the one icon. Where can I purchase the hardware from? You can find out more information including where to purchase from the Lookin website http://www.look-in.club I want to try this driver out before buying it? All Chowmain drivers for Control4 come with a 90 day trial. How do I find out more information about the driver? Please see the links below for more information about the driver. Driver Link

Its not a driver update. Its a total rewrite. This means it won't be upgradable. Once we have written the new driver it'll work with the i6 and es6 as well.

Please get your dealer to reach out to our helpdesk so that we can assist.

You should never send 'turn on' commands as Control4 won't know the device is selected. You should select the device as a source in that room. If you are using the Chowmain Zappiti driver then it should already be on the home screen. You can however map the Home button and Zappiti buttons to buttons via the driver's properties. Pressing this button in the room will fire the home or Zappiti button to get it to those menus. Lastly if you are not using our driver here is the link below. You'll be able to also utilise Control4's user interfaces on iOS, Android, T3, T4 or onscreen for movie selection along with programatically select a specific movie (if you want a voice command to playback that one movie). https://chowmain.software/drivers/control4-zappiti

If you want a controller that you can wire any LED strip to check out the Shelly RGB2

Please get your dealer to reach out to our helpdesk so that we can assist.

The LIFX API has seperate ON and OFF commands along with level commands. The driver will send an OFF command should it receive a 0% value. Any other value will cause the driver to send an ON command along with a brightness level. Note that the driver does not arbitarily send commands so please check your programming to make sure that you don't have any rogue programming causing your lights to turn on.

Control4 have 'alternate' codes. You can find out more information about how this works in the Composer Pro user guide.

We'll make an announcement about 7 drivers for OS 3.3 when that is launched so stay tuned.

The egauge driver utilises HTTP to pull information in from the internet. The only time it requires internet is IF you have put in the publically accessible egua.ge hostname rather than IP address. logs will give us a good idea of what’s goings on. Next time this happens please capture some logs and submit to us via helpdesk.

Zappiti is designed so that upon a power failure it'll return to its previous power state. If you are using our driver though depending on what model Zappiti player you use it may not turn off or on (older Zappiti models ie non current gen) require it to be always on due to its network chipset disabling itself after a period of standby. Current generation models do not have that problem and as such our driver will send power on and power off commands. If you are not using our driver you can find it here. https://chowmain.software/drivers/control4-zappiti

No you cannot do that. Also not the right place to ask. You should discuss Control4 SDK / API questions directly to Control4.

The 'Auto Hide Proxies' property should be set to false before binding the driver. As binding the driver will initiate the code to hide or unhide the proxies from each room. Note that if you can wait until OS 3.3 is released you'll get a better experience.

There is a dropdown in the properties of the driver that automatically hides or shows the devices. Set that to false. Having said that it will change in OS 3.3 as we no longer have seperate sliders for individual channels with the new RGBW lighting functionality being introduced. As such this new driver we are introducing won’t have this issue as it will only be a single light with RGBW support.

This was a mistake. You cannot do that. The event logging driver should do what you want though. Its designed to log events into a text file which you can access via web browser or SMB share. The notificaiton suite can also attach any file on a webserver to an email and send it off. It can be used together to send the event log.

Our ping driver also will stop working shortly. This driver monitors internet connectivity. https://chowmain.software/drivers/control4-internet-rebooter

If your goal is to record events then this driver will do what you want. https://chowmain.software/drivers/control4-event-logging combined with https://chowmain.software/drivers/control4-notification-suite and you can email it out whenever you want.

At present the driver is only compatible with DS-KV8113-WME1 DS-KV8413-WME1 DS-KV8213-WME1 however hikvision is developing a customer firmware for the KD series.

There is a tickbox in the camera driver about being accessible on the web or something along those lines. Basically that box utilises the IP address remotely (which won’t work) rather than routing via 4sight servers. Sounds like that is your problem.

We handed over the source code to them so its likely that they are fixing the issue themselves as they have not reached out to us for assistance.

We haven't tested it against that model so it may not work. @Andrew lueckeis rewriting the TP-Link driver suite currently which will be due out to release in Q2 with some new features which we'll talk about more over the coming weeks.

Yes. That is correct. In fact you actually get more controls than whats on the remote with transport controls in addition to navigation.

Not something i care about since we have unlimited data. Most people over in Australia have unlimited data but pay for different speeds.
