    Sorry for the late reply. If you want to use your android box for both android apps and kodi then you will need to install LANmote Deluxe on the box. This requires root on the box. If however you only want to run Kodi on it (which alot of people do) then you don't need to do this. Instead you can just install Kodi as the launcher (there are some apps that will actually do this for you and do not require root). Hope this helps.

    Sorry for the late reply. Didn't see this post. Forecast.io and OpenWeatherMap are two different services. Both of which provide similar functionality but one may be better for your application than another. The driver already returns these values The variable will return a number value of 0-100 The driver will only update the values (ie poll the web service) when you fire this action. you can tie it into schedules, timers, buttons or whatever you want but regardless this action must be taken to update the values.

    There must be something different in the Ultra compared to the others. If you use the HTI Customs or Control4 Roku drives can you control them and can you launch apps via them?

    Sorry @drousso i have been away on leave for the past 2 1/2 weeks so haven't been able to answer any queries. As @malelan mentioned the best way to get technical support is via our helpdesk on houselogix. We spend alot of time and money on our helpdesk to ensure that the houselogix team is trained up in all our products. In future please submit a ticket via their website https://www.houselogix.com/shop/plex-full#openModal In regards to your actual problem there is two menthods of finding clients / servers Remote Server is utilised for finding a server that has been logged into Plex.tv even if it is on the local network Remote Client is utilised for finding a client that has been logged into Plex.tv even if it is on the local network (this is the button you need to push most likely) Local Server is utilised for finding a server that has not been logged into Plex.tv Local Client is utilised for finding a client that has not been logged into Plex.tv I hope this helps.

    Yes we designed the driver so it would specifically work with both the official Control4 roku driver and the HTI customs roku driver plus all associated mini apps. see our installation guide for details.
  7. alanchow
    Fine maybe not all of them but most of the popular ones.

    Chowmain - Video Game Integration OS 2.9 introduced experience buttons. This allowed us to add icons to Control4's navigator user interface. It also allowed us to create what is called 'no control devices'. These devices when selected do not display any transport controls on the user interface. Control4 has done a good job in making a few of the more common devices. We have utilised the no control experience buttons to integrate EVERY video game console ever made. Combine it with the Chowmain Belkin WeMo Insight driver and have the system automatically turn on when the video game console powers up and have the whole system turn off when the console turns off. The following video game consoles have been integrated. Arcade Games Atari 2600 Atari 5200 Atari 7800 Atari Jaguar Colecovision Microsoft Xbox Microsoft Xbox 360 Microsoft Xbox One Microsoft Xbox Series S Microsoft Xbox Series X NEC PC Engine NEC TurboGrafx Nintendo Entertainment System Super Nintendo Nintendo 64 Nintendo Gamecube Nintendo Wii Nintendo Wii U Odyssey Philips CD-i Sega Master System Sega Master System II Sega Mega Drive Sega Genesis Sega Saturn Sega Dreamcast Sony Playstation Sony PSONE Sony Playstation 2 Sony Playstation 3 Sony Playstation 4 Sony Playstation 5 Sony PS Vita TV SNK Neo Geo FAQ Can you give us some examples of how we could use this driver? Make your user interface nicer by adding the correct icons for their video game consoles. The icons when selected will switch to the correct input and will NOT display any controls. Combined with WeMo Insight Switches and our Belkin Wemo driver you can turn on the video game console using your controller and have Control4 automatically turn on the system to the right inputs. Turn off the console using the console's controller or power button and have Control4 automatically turn the room off. All of this is done via power sensing through the outlet. Why do you only support OS 2.9 and above? This driver is reliant on a new proxy introduced in OS 2.9.0 How do I find out more information about the driver? Please see the links below for more information about the driver. Chowmain Website How do I buy the driver? This driver is developed by Chowmain software & apps and is distributed and supported by DriverCentral Download Driver / Purchase Licence Do you provide trial licences? All Chowmain drivers for Control4 come with a 90 day trials. This is activated once you add the driver to the project. No additional steps are necessary.

    The proper way to do this is by using preset levels. Preset levels is designed to goto a level on tap. You can still go above the level if you hold the button down.
  10. alanchow
    Yes we are going to announce those buttons today. You will be able to integrate white goods/appliances via IFTTT or relays. IFTTT supports integration of GE, Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, Bosch & Siemens appliances. Some with feedback only others with control and feedback. The experience buttons can be used for both one way feedback or control and feedback. I don't quite understand what the day/night button would do... wouldn't that be automated by the scheduler's astronomical clock?

    On top of the information provided by everyone above Control4 also provides a dealer locator on their website. Dealers have different statuses (ordered from highest status to lowest). Pinnacle Dealer Platinum Dealer Gold Dealer Authorized Dealer https://www.control4.com/dealer_locator

    My driver is the only driver that has tv shows accessible via navigator so that's good way to determine if yoU are using mine or not (which you are not) see image below
  13. alanchow
    Actually that's a good point this isn't my driver as mine does have a on timer expired debug message
  14. alanchow
    Nope definately not normal. I have 3 Kodi setups at my house running on an EA-5 master controller. Kodi responds within less than a second when you press buttons. Check the usual networking and processing potential issues.
  15. alanchow
    Kodi full and kodi light drivers are two totally seperate drivers that have nothing to do with each other. you only use one or the other. please see installation guide for information on how to setup.
  16. alanchow
    The name should don't do anything
  17. alanchow
    Our Kodi Full driver does not utilise Control4's media management. As such it is not effected by larget movie library sizes. Meta data including images is processed on the fly and in small portions as you navigate through the list. Eg if you have 10,000 movies it will (depending on the navigator user interface) go from 0-50, 50-100, 100-150 or 0-20, 20-40, 40- 80, etc etc. Nothing is stored. Images are sent to Navigator as a direct URL for navigator to grab from Kodi itself.
  18. alanchow
    Sounds like you have a memory leak in one of your drivers. We sell a lot of these kodi full drivers so that would have come back to us pretty quickly if there was this big of a problem.
  19. alanchow
    Yep that is correct. One of the beautiful things about integrating IFTTT is that we don't know whats going to come out around the corner. I wonder what kind of IFTTT triggers and actions will be available for Home.
  20. alanchow
    Please go through the troubleshooting section of our installation guide first. This will help you isolate the problem to what the cause is (the recipe not firing, pushover not receiving the notification or Control4 not receiving) also one other mistake people make is that they assume that the programming goes on the variable change. This is incorrect. It should go under the event (as per our documentation).

    Idea came from a smart guy:)

    Chowmain - Find My Remote Driver The Control4 SR-250 and SR-260 system remote controls have find my remote functionality built into them. Rather than utilise a custom button our new Find My Remote driver makes mapping this action to a Control4 touchscreen prettier. Features Pretty Find My Remote Icon Easy programming. Just select the remote in the drivers properties and the duration. Can be displayed under Services (Our prefered spot) or Watch/Listen/Comfort/Security menu's in any room. FAQ Can you give us some examples of how we could use this driver? Lost your remote? Now you have a pretty button to make it beep so you can find it. Why doesn't my remote beep immediately? Remotes take upto a minute to check in. As such it will not beep immediately and will take upto a minute to start beeping. Once beeping has started you can cancel it by pressing any button on the remote. Why do you only support OS 2.9 and above? This driver is reliant on a new proxy introduced in OS 2.9.0 How do I find out more information about the driver? Please see the links below for more information about the driver.

    YATUN have a software thermostat driver which you can use with our driver. You can then map the temperate from the control by web driver to the thermostat and the relay output from the control by web unit to the thermostat.
  24. alanchow
    Lastly the info button brings up the info function for the currently playing media. The menu button brings up the onscreen menu for the currently playing item. This is covered in our installation guide. We spend ALOT of time on our documentation. From memory I think I wrote 70 something pages for the Kodi full installation manual. You and your dealer should read our installation guide first so that you guys don't go 'nuts' on items that are already covered.
  25. alanchow
    As there is no context button on Control4 we have added it to the list of definable buttons for non intuitive buttons (red, green, yellow, blue, custom 1,2,3, etc). See our installation guide for a list of all non intuitive buttons and all definable buttons. these can be configured in the drivers properties page using composer home edition.
