Unfortunately due to limitations in Control4 we cannot automatically skip to the transport controls on mobile apps and touchscreens. If you use a remote control like the SR260 with the on-screen this will not be an issue though

We investigated this thoroughly. We attempted to reverse engineer the hardware it first and discovered there was no open ports We attempted to reverse engineer the software next and discovered it doesn't control the hardware We have a contact who has a relationship with Sky and confirmed that there is no API We also attempted to utilise CEC control as well over it but thus far have failed. At this point IR is the only method of control which provides adequate functionality.

Wall dimmer should work as a light. We haven't tested this but am basing it off the API specs

MAJOR UPDATE Last week we released the SwitchBot driver for Control4. This week we have expanded the integration by adding two new products to the driver. The Switchbot Color Bulb with native Control4 RGB color wheel support and also the Switchbot Blind Tilt which makes your existing wand control horizontal blinds smart. The SwitchBot Blind Tilt is an excellent product which enables you to control your existing wand control horizontal blinds. The product features a built-in 2000mAh lithium battery, and receives power from solar panels to achieve power that lasts forever. What is cool is If you are near your blinds you can still control manually, and Blind Tilt will auto-sync all your Blind Tilt devices for you so you get updated positional data in Control4.

Due to cloud rate limits on their API the other products are not viable. Outlet is a possbility but low on our priorities since we have so many solutions already for outlets that are stupidly affordable.

We have on our roadmap the Bulb and Blind Tilt which should be integrated in coming months. We don't have plans for other products. If you are looking for plugs we have several solutions. Govee Lightwave RF Shelly TP-Link Kasa

Where to Buy If you are in Australia we recommend Oz Smart Things - https://www.ozsmartthings.com.au/ Can you give us some examples of how we could use this driver?

Turn on the Coffee machine and open the curtains in a morning scene. Make almost anything that has a rocker switch or a push button smart. I want to try this driver out before buying it?

All commands are available through the Bond Bridge driver's programming commands. There is a drop down with all of them. The My Command is also the Stop command FYI.

dmca takedown

The driver has been delisted and will no longer be maintained. Existing drivers will however continue to work.

Belkin asked us to remove the drivers so they are no more.

Bond will not work. Sensibo would be the way to go or Intesis for generic mini split systems. Otherwise native intergrations to splits for certain systems like Daikin exist as well. Also the term is 'driver' not 'extension'. The only system that uses 'Extension' is Crestron Home and that is for integrations that don't fit in with their existing driver models (think of it as a blank ui for you to do stuff outside of standard device types or device types that are not yet supported). Anyway enough about Crestron Home. Driver is the term for Control4.

Commands / Feedback Open Close Door Lock Driver Commands Lock Door Unlock Door Force Unlock Unlock or Pull Spring Without Auto Pull Spring Events Uncalibrated Unknown Calibrating Unlocked Semi-Locked Unlocking Locking Locked Pulled Pulling FAQ How much does this driver cost? This driver is manufacturer sponsored and is provided free of charge. Do I need a smart bridge? Yes, you do. The access operations are verified in the Tedee online cloud for optimal security of smart features. An Internet connection is also required to integrate a smart lock with your Control4 installation. Tedee smart bridge is a soap-sized plug inserted into an electric socket inside your property, up to 2m from the door. It must be in the range of your internet-connected Wi-Fi network. Smart bridge: explained here: https://tedee.com/what-is-bridge-and-do-i-need-it/ Is it secure? Tedee is an AV-Test-certified secure smart home device. Mechanically, it does not affect hardware security in any way. Your digital access is ensured with multiple technologies. All communication is encrypted with a multi-level mechanism, and cloud access is authenticated with asymmetric keys. At the same time, Bluetooth connection uses a secure protocol. Read our manual of smart lock security: https://tedee.com/is-smart-lock-secure/ Does it work with my door? Tedee works with most door locks with European- and Scandinavian-type cylinders. Some measurements need to be verified on outward-opening doors. Check the requirements in detail here: https://tedee.com/can-i-install-tedee-smart-lock/ Do I need to change my cylinder? No, if your European-type cylinder works with the emergency feature. In this case – and with Nordic-type door locks – you may use a compatible adapter. Suppose your European cylinder does not have an emergency feature. In that case, you need to replace it with a compatible model or a dedicated modular cylinder offered by Tedee. Learn how to check your cylinder: https://tedee.com/does-my-cylinder-have-an-emergency-function-what-is-it-do-i-need-i/ Can I still use a standard key? Yes, you can. From the outside, your lock can always be used traditionally. On the inside, you can manually lock and unlock the door by rotating Tedee like a thumb turn.

If the shades have RF control you should look at bond bridge. That way no running of cables. Just sends RF signals the same as the remote. Product - https://bondhome.io/ Driver - https://chowmain.software/drivers/control4-bond

We have a driver which will do that. You can test it out using our 90 day trial before purchase. https://chowmain.software/drivers/control4-openweathermap

RTS is a way one-way communication. As such you cannot get true bi-directional feedback on RTS motors. You can get pseudo two-way feedback by using Bond Bridge Pro and Bond Sidekick Keypads. This is because Bond Sidekick will tell Bond Bridge Pro what state it sent.

The driver was only written for lighting devices and smart sockets. We have not tested it with other devices. It may work or it may not. The API documentation list devices that work via their API. https://govee-public.s3.amazonaws.com/developer-docs/GoveeDeveloperAPIReference.pdf I am concerned that the appliance rate limit is 100 per day versus lighting which is 10,000 per day. What this means is that including both polling and control we can only talk to Govee appliances 100 times a day. This would make timelyness on feedback impossible.

Zappiti has an issue with their firmware. To resolve on the Zappiti Onscreen User Interface -> open Zappiti Service. Uninstall Zappiti Video and re-install Zappiti Video.
