  1. Yep for those who haven’t done it before we have a guide on how to do it on our website. Only limitation is they it will only work on your own network (unless you port forward which we don’t recommend). https://www.chowmainsoft.com/generic-tcp-command
  2. Looks like it is Android based. If so then it will work with our Android TV driver. https://www.chowmainsoft.com/android Requires a 3rd party app to be installed and setup. See the PDF installation guide for details. Please test it out using the 90 day trial before licence purchase.
  3. I can’t say if it’ll differentiate between monkeys and humans. It’s best to reach out to Hikvision about that question. What I can tell you is that all smart events regardless of models are imported into Control4
  4. All Control4 certified drivers require local IP control so yes its local.
  5. The driver supports custom events. As such as think of it as a light switch with a motion sensor with an Amazon echo with a unlimited button keypad
  6. Overview The Orro Smart Living System transforms any home with automatic, human-centric, and wellness-oriented smart lighting, home-wide control, energy savings, and home monitoring capabilities. With Orro, offer your customers a unified smart lighting solution that promotes healthier living habits, better sleep, and energy efficiency while also expanding your Control4 functionality. Think of Orro as your "swiss army knife" solution that fits in any C4 job. Features Manufacturer Sponsored (FREE) IP Based communications Bi-directional control and feedback via local API Auto discovery / Self Healing (no static ip required) Auto Setup - Driver discovers all the lights. Just make the bindings. Control / Feedback over switching lighting loads Control / Feedback over dimmable lighting loads Orro Presence (Occupany Feedback) Control4 Advanced Lighting Scene support Trigger Control4 Scripts from any Orro Switch allowing you to use Orro Switches as Control4 keypads to activate Control4 events (not limited to 6 hard buttons, updateable list with no limit on the number of events) FAQ How do i find out more about Orro? You can find out more about Orro via their website. https://getorro.com/ I have added additional Orro devices. You can manually import additional devices by clicking on Import Lighting under the driver’s Actions tab. How does Orro Presence and the associated Control4 Motion Sensor work? Orro Presence is determined using a combination of motion sensor data, audio data, algorithms, and settings values. Typically, lights will turn on automatically when Presence is detected and turn off when Presence is lost. Presence behavior is adjustable via Orro settings at both the Room and Switch levels. Orro Presence is mapped to a Control4 Motion Sensor which is automatically installed and programmed with each Orro lighting device. Use this in your programming for room presence programming. How do events work? The Orro driver can programmatically execute Control4 Scripts through the Orro Driver’s Events functionality. This allows you to create Events and assign Events to be shown in particular Orro Rooms. Once Events are created, you can add programming actions to the Scripts for each of the Orro Driver’s events. This is automatically synced to Orro. Execute a script by tapping the Event shown on the Orro Switch Control4 Face. There is no limit on the number of events that you can display on any Orro Switch. You can customize which Events are shown per Orro Room. If there are multiple Orro Switches in an Orro Room, each Switch will display the same Control4 Events. Note you can also choose not to display any Control4 Events on an Orro Switch. Where can I find the Offline Access Token? The Orro Offline Access Token for Control4 can be found in the Orro Apps for Android / iOS. Once the Control4 Integration has been enabled via the Orro App under Home Automation > Control4 , the Offline Access Token will be displayed in the Orro App in the Control4 Manage view. Note the Offline Access Token is unique per Orro Home. How do I find out more information about the driver? Please see the links below for more information about the driver. Driver Link 
  7. The brightness slider will turn the light off you set it to 0% and will turn it on to a level if you goto whatever level. The driver may have issues communicating to the Kasa KL430 if its doing weird things. Best bet is to open up a support ticket with us so we can help troubleshoot. https://www.chowmainsoft.com/support
  8. Unlikely but you can give it a shot. the driver is designed for the nice DMBM gateway
  9. Our plan is to support all Shelly products. We are waiting for samples to be sent to us and APIs to be updated.oh
  10. Regarding switching the grid view, the PREV button on the Hikvision remote toggles through the available grid sizes. By default the driver doesn't map a C4 remote button to PREV. You can program any of the following buttons to be PREV: CC, INPUT/TV-VIDEO, RECALL, INFO, DVR, PLAY, GUIDE or Blue/Red/Green/Yellow BUTTONs. With the push notification the hikvision camera drivers are definitely selectable. I assume you also installed the camera drivers and not only the NVR driver. If so please make sure it is on the latest version of the driver as well as we added that feature in at some point in time.
  11. We just launched our second mobile webview driver. The Scheduler webview driver for Control4 provides end users with the ability to schedule pre-setup presets/macros via Control4’s T3 touchscreen and T4 touchscreen along with Control4’s iPhone, iPad or Android based applications. We have designed the scheduler to look, feel and operate in a similar manner to the Control4 thermostat scheduler. As such not only is it very functional but the UI feels and operates like a Control4 interface. The driver allows you to setup a repeating schedule which will repeat on a weekly basis or setup a one off schedule that will only operate once and will remove or disable itself after it executes. An infinite amount of Presets/Macros can be setup by the dealer to suit the customer’s lifestyle and Control4 system. For example you can create Sprinklers On and Sprinklers Off presets or for a commercial job they can setup a shop open and shop close schedule. https://www.chowmainsoft.com/scheduler-control4-driver
  12. Updated to support webview mobile application. Works now on iPhone, iPad and Android devices local or remotely.
  13. They're a pretty big company. Nice just bought nortek for reference who own Elan, 2Gig, Speakercraft, Gefen, Furman, Panamax, Xantech and a few other companies. Nice also own Fibaro. We did some work for them integrating their shading system for Control4 and Crestron.
  14. Old topic but the Epson driver we just released can do lens memory functionality (amongst other things).
  15. Overview Epson provides a universal API (ESC/VP21) for their range of projectors for both IP and RS232 based controls. The Chowmain Epson universal projector driver for Control4 provides seamless integration of all Epson projectors via this API and allows you to control all the standard features you would expect with a projector and more. Features Bi-directional control and feedback Both RS232 and IP based integration Lamp hour feedback Error feedback Automatic email and push notification on errors (requires 4sight) Audio Controls (Volume Up, Volume Down) Power management Source selection Commands Screen Mirroring AV Mute Freeze 3D Enhance 4K HDR HDR Color Space Aspect Ratio Color Mode Luminance Image Memory (Recall / Register / Delete) Lens Position (Recall / Register / Delete) FAQ Can you give us some examples of how we could use this driver? The driver has the ability to automatically send notifications on warnings and errors. This makes it easily for integrators to proactively service their customers when the projector is due for a bulb change or requires immediate attention. On projectors that have lens memory you can recall these lens memory positions via the driver's programming commands. This is extremely useful if you combine it with something like the Chowmain Kaleidescape driver which can provide you with the aspect ratio feedback of the movie. Automate lens positions to suit the movie you are watching to ensure that 235 movies fit the screen perfectly without manual intervention! Have the screen blank or lens closed until certain conditions, like theatre curtains being fully opened, are met Custom button programming to change the 3D sync setting of the projector or have the projector automatically set a 3D sync option depending on the source Dynamically set the color temperature and picture modes depending on the input source What hardware will this work on? This driver utilises the currently available settings from the Epson universal API. Current and future projectors that adhere to this API will work with this driver. How do I find out more information about the driver? Please see the links below for more information about the driver. Driver Link How do I buy the driver?This driver can be purchased from our distributor driverCentral.Download Driver / Purchase LicenceDo you provide trial licences?All Chowmain drivers for Control4 come with a 90 day trial.Who do i contact for technical support?We have two support desks. One in Australia and one in the US. Click on the link below for details.Support
  16. Nothing to do with movies. If you want to playback h.265 movies get something like Zappiti
  17. We just launched our first mobile webview driver. This is aimed at integrators who want to provide their contact details on a system so that the owner knows how to contact for support along with space for custom text (company description or information that they want the home owner to know). https://www.chowmainsoft.com/contact-us-control4-driver
  18. Today Control4 released mobile webview which is a major feature release for customers running Control4 OS 3.1.3 (or later) with mobile app versions 321.46 (or later). We are proud to announce that we have launched the first 3rd party mobile webview driver for Control4 which is designed to assist integrators to keep in contact with their customerbase through our Contact Us driver for Control4. The Contact Us driver for Control4 allows integrators to provide an elegrant contact us page on the Control4 T3 touchscreen, Control4 T4 touchscreen, iPhone, iPad and Android devices with the ability to provide their own logo, address, phone and email contact details along with a text field that they can use for whatever they want (eg a short company description or details specific to that project).The URL is clickable which allows the user to visit the integrator's website on the T3, T4 or mobile device.On iOS devices a force touch on the phone number will allow them to call the number and force touch on the email will allow them to email the email address.This provides integrators with the ability to market their business to the people utilising the Control4 system they installed.We have priced this driver at an extremely low price so that integrators can utilise it in every project.
  19. Matterlink is only 315/433mhz RF. Bond Bridge is 300-450mhz RF
  20. We never released it. Sorry
  21. Or you can just do the old school method of decoding the IR codeset and trying all codes in that set to try and figure out hidden codes. I wrote a paper on it about 15 years ago.
