  1. 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.
  2. The driver has been delisted and will no longer be maintained. Existing drivers will however continue to work.
  3. Belkin asked us to remove the drivers so they are no more.
  4. 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.
  5. Overview Chowmain releases FREE manufacturer sponsored Sunsa driver for Control4. The Sunsa Wand is the easiest and most affordable way to automate and turn your blinds smart in under 2 minutes. The Sunsa Wand allows users to control manual blinds from anywhere. It is compatible with any existing window blind model, including horizontal blinds, vertical blinds, and mini-blinds and operates automatically through the smartphone and/or integrations with smart home technologies like Control4, Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. It installs on existing blinds in under two minutes with no special tools and without damaging the blinds. Consumers get the exact same benefits of expensive high-end blinds systems, without the cost and without having to replace existing blinds. Simply replace your current blind’s wand with the Sunsa Wand and you have automated, motorized smart blinds that can tilt your blinds open and close. Driver Features Manufacturer sponsored FREE driver Bi-Directional control Battery level feedback Level commands In Navigato 0 is close (closed up - left for vertical blinds) 50 is completely open 100 is close (closed down - right for vertical blinds) In programming -10 is close (closed up - left for vertical blinds) 0 is completely open 10 is close (closed down - right for vertical blinds) FAQ How much does this driver cost? This driver is sponsored by Sunsa and is FREE Where can i purchase these devices from? Sunsa Wand is available for purchase from their website https://www.sunsawands.com/ How long do the batteries last? The batteries will last around 9-12 months with opening and closing the blinds multiple times per day. Do I need a hub? No, the Sunsa Wand connects directly to Wi-fi and does not require the purchase of an additional hub. Can I move my blinds to any position, not just fully opening and closing? Yes, you can fully open blinds in either direction or to a certain percentage from 10% to 100%, with 100% being fully closed and 0% being fully open. Can I still use the wand manually? If you ever needed to use the Sunsa Wand manually you can although it is not designed for manual use on daily basis, instead the apps, smart home integrations and schedules are meant to replace manual usage. In addition, there is an option to set-up double-tap for operating the blinds. This allows you to double tap the side of the wand to open or close the blinds. How do I find out more information about the driver? Please see the links below for more information about the driver. Driver Link
  6. We cannot advise if it works for a 3rd party rebranded model. All of our drivers come with a 90 day trial so you can test out our driver before commiting to licence purchase.
  7. This is mandatory. If you want onscreen navigation you MUST use the custom firmware as its a feature that Hikvision specifically customised their firmware for on request from us. All firmware is developed for us is available on Hikvision's Control4 Smart Home Solution's page: US: https://us.hikvision.com/en/control4-smart-home-solution AU: https://www.hikvision.com/au-en/solutions/Solutions-by-Technology-Partners/control4/
  8. Haven't heard of it. We do have Sensibo https://sensibo.com/ https://chowmain.software/drivers/control4-sensibo it does a similar thing.

Tedee is the sleekest and most powerful smart lock on the market, combining awarded design, patented mechanics, and leading cybersecurity solutions.

With up to 12 months of operation on a single charge, Tedee smart lock is a discreet addition to the smart solution you already use, bringing impressive change to your everyday lifestyle. The FREE Manufacturer sponsored Tedee Door Lock driver for Control4 allows the following functionality. Driver Features Manufacturer sponsored FREE driver Bi-directional IP based communications / feedback (requires internet connectivity) Ability to automatically import door locks Automatically rename locks to Tedee naming Door Lock Features Battery Level Door Lock Proxy Option to notify proxy for Semi-locked as Locked or Unlocked. 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.

  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. You need conditional logic to check if the source is the current source in that room.
  16. Overview The Klipsch Cinema Series is a complete lineup of feature-rich sound bars that are a major upgrade to stand-alone television sound, enhancing movies and music with dimension, clarity and realism.

Control settings from Navigator or programmatically LED Brightness Sound Mode Dialog Mode Night Mode Commands Volume Up/Down/Set Mute On/Off/Toggle Set Input Power On/Off Skip Previous, Play / Pause, Stop, Skip Next FAQ How much does this driver cost? This driver is manufacturer sponsored and is provided free of charge. What models does this driver support This driver is developed for the Cinema 700, Cinema 800 and Cinema 1200. It may work for other models as well that use the same API. How do I find out more information about the driver? Please see the links below for more information about the driver. Driver Link 
  17. All drivers use START_VOL_UP and STOP_VOL_UP. Its just the way the architecture works. If you are concerned purchase a AVR that has discrete volume control or set the volume limit on your AVR. Your AVR should have a setting for maximum volume levels. That way you won't blow your speakers.
  18. Best of luck.. The driver will only start up a room on that one condition. Otherwise its something in a script that has been programmed by either yourself or your integrator. If it happens again and your integrator has issues resolving it get them to submit a support ticket and we'll work with them to pinpoint the issue.
  19. If that doesn't work your integrator will have to troubleshoot the programming you have put in through detective suite as you may have done something in programming to cause undesired results.
  20. Remove the room selected in the 'Auto Room Select' property. This will automatically select the source when Zappiti provides feedback that it is playing something.
  21. Glad to hear that its working for you now. For some reason the Zappiti guys made it the same version number which is why you need to uninstall then re-install. I asked them to increment it but they told me that the procedure we need to tell owners is to uninstall and re-install. I did the same method via Zappiti Services which worked for me.
  22. This is a Zappiti thing. No changes are required on the Control4 end.
  23. Zappiti have fixed the issue. Note customer's will need to uninstall Zappiti Video and install it again for it to work. No changes needed at Control4's end.
