Not at this stage.

The next version will also have mappable sky. Will be released shortly with our new Sky Channels driver.

We have actually implemented this in beta but am waiting for more things to implement before releasing it. Don't want to put out too many releases. If nothing happens in the next few weeks we'll just release with this one new addition.

i just used one of those cheapy chinese brand ones for my place. $20 with IR control

Nope it will not work. The IntesisBox driver is developed for IntesisBox units.

I'm not sure to be honest. I know it does have temperature feedback and they say it has bidirectional control/feedback but don't understand the internals myself. I'd ask Intesis support.

Nope. Quite the opposite. @jerrywolf's solution requires you buy two modules. the Mitsubishi module and the Control4 thermostat. Ends up becoming quite expensive doing it that way. Check out the intesisbox.com website for a full range of compatible HVAC systems. They have integration to quite alot. They could probably recommend a system for you since you haven't chosen one yet.

The mitsubishi interface won't work with your system considering you have a fujitsu system. Contact intesis support to double check that their module works with your model first prior to purchase just in case. They are happy to field these enquiries (HVAC integration is their thing).

Hey thats cool. You can use it to convert to honeywell standard. Add a Control4 thermostat to it and you're good to go. Intesis have a specific model for the Mitsubishi Slim unit which provides two way control / feedback. A bit late for you but for others reading here it is. https://www.intesisbox.com/intesis/support/compatibilities/IntesisBox_ME-AC-xxx-1_AC_Compatibility.pdf?v=1487086947

Chowmain - IntesisBox HVAC integration driver Most HVAC installations in the United States are easy as most thermostats utilise a universal standard and as such can be replaced easily by a 3rd party thermostat such as Control4’s thermostat. Unfortunately alot of HVAC manufacturers do not utilise this standard and have proprietary closed communications that are specific to that HVAC manufacturer. This makes it extremely cumbersome for Control4 dealers to source a reliable HVAC product and in many countries Control4 dealers do not even bother with HVAC integration because it is just too hard. Luckily Intesis have released their range of IntesisBox wifi gateways. The IntesisBox allows you to easily integrate HVAC systems into Control4 by retrofitting the IntesisBox gateway into the existing indoor unit. Intesis offer two gateway types. Specific IntesisBox’s are developed to communicate with the HVAC manufacturer’s proprietary communications protocol allowing for true real time bidirectional communication with the system. Universal IntesisBox’s are developed to offer compatibility with thousands of HVAC models through infra red and offer room temperature feedback via a sensor in the IntesisBox. Chowmain’s IntesisBox driver for Control4 will work with all models of IntesisBox and will provide full two way control/feedback. Features Automatic discovery of Intesisbox based on unit MAC address. Self healing - if IP address changes the driver will automatically rediscover the unit. Auto configuration of available of HVAC Modes from IntesisBox. Auto configuration of available of Fan Speeds from IntesisBox. Auto configuration of set point limits (minimum and maximum). Auto configuration of available vane positions. Temperature Feedback. Setpoint Control. Up/Down/Left/Right Vane position control* Built in Scheduling. Built in Presets. HVAC System Error detection and feedback (only on non universal IntesisBox’s). Support for multiple AC units (this will work on future IntesisBox hardware – Current version only supports single indoor units). Universal Model will detect if the customer uses the original IR remote control to control HVAC system and set the feedback accordingly. * If fitted to the HVAC system. FAQ Why is this product exciting? In Australia and New Zealand (and other countries) HVAC integration has been hard because HVAC companies do not utilise the honeywell based wiring that most smart thermostats like Nest, Control4 and Honeywell use. Split Systems have been extremely hard as traditionally they only offer IR or RF based remote controls. In the past we have integrated these systems by learning every combination of IR code however this is extremely time consuming. Also integration for ducted systems and VRF systems were hard because manufacturers have their own propriatary bus. Now with the IntesisBox installers can now easily integrate HVAC systems into Control4. The IntesisBox is affordable unlike other solutions so the cost of integration per zone is extremely low. On top of that it communicates via wifi so dealers can now revisit old customers with compatible HVAC systems to upgrade their home automation system and integrate their HVAC systems without additional wiring. This really changes the HVAC game. What HVAC systems can i use this driver with? IntesisBox is compatible with a range of HVAC systems. Please see the Intesis website to check if the HVAC system you want to integrate has a specific IntesisBox or is compatible with the universal IntesisBox. Their ebsite will have the most upto date information about supported models.

Next time please make sure its setup right. Thanks.

I logged into your system. Lyall did not setup the driver correctly. The Plex Full driver was pointed to another plex client (microsoft edge) instead of the roku. Have fixed it now and emailed Lyall with my findings.

Glad you like it. Thanks for the feedback

Lyall has now contacted us. We will work with them to diagnose your problem.

I still haven't heard from your dealer yet about this. There should be no difference in Roku Ultra and the other Roku's. The only thing i can think of is perhaps there is a different version of the App on the Ultra and if so then it may be trying to launch the wrong app. Having said that though we sell quite alot of these Plex drivers so i should have received other complaints by now if that were the case. Once your dealer contacts us we will begin troubleshooting with them.

Usage is simple. Just click on watch->channels->channel you want to watch. can't get simpler than that.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Glad you guys enjoy it. For those who haven't tried it here's an article written by CE Pro Europe on it. http://ce-pro.eu/2017/03/chowmain-sky-ip-driver-control4-sky/amp/

Maybe when we do the Full version. For now i recommend using a service like Domotz where you can monitor the uptime of a device. It can even monitor if a port is open or closed and based upon this automatically power cycle the device using a wemo.

Funny you should ask. We just updated it for the switch. Its online now.

We set that variable to true when we see candle lighting and set it to false when we see havdalah.

There is a variable for the holiday name. Having said that from my research the Yom Tov's will execute the Candle Lighting and Havdalah events as well will in turn will change the IS_SHABBAT variable to true.
