    It was reproduced by us. It is likely to effect everyone who is on the latest firmware. Anthony from Zappiti got back to me at the end of last week and they are investigating. No ETA yet. They're investigating.

    Cresson from Diamond Home Design reached out to us for assistance. We have been working with him on this and the last contact we had (4 days ago) we asked Cresson for logs capturing the problem so we can troubleshoot.

    The driver is no longer available. You will not be able to integrate Tuya.

    I don’t know the answer to that question. I’m not an expert at this system. I can tell you everything about the driver though. You should reach out to Ozuno for questions about their system.

    You will need to reach out to Ozuno for information. It does group multiple DALI lights together. You can have one light in muliple zones for reference. The zone can report state as minimum, average or maximum level of the members of the zone.

    Overview Ozuno is a premium lighting control systems company, that utilises extensive in-house technology innovation, engineering and development capabilities. They design, develop and produce lighting control and power management products specialising in DALI, Phase DIM, Ethernet, Emergency and 240V. The RAPIX Lighting Control system is a powerful, cost effective means for delivering smart DALI Lighting Control solutions simply and easily. RAPIX Lighting Control scales from very small and simple, to very large and complex. Control Lighting using DALI, including DALI phase dimmers and DALI relays. 100% DALI Compliant to IEC 62386. Supports DALI Device Type 8 for colour temperature (tunable white) and RGB. Program offsite to save time on site. Designed in Australia by industry veterans. Driver Features Manufacturer sponsored FREE driver Bi-directional IP based communications / feedback. Ability to automatically import Zones (Light v2 proxy) Scenes (Light switch proxy) Flags (Experience button proxy) Ability to automatically detect capabilities of zones or manually set capabilities. Zone Features On Off Dimming Color Color Temperature Scene Features On Off Flag Features On Off FAQ How much does this driver cost? This driver is manufacturer sponsored and is provided free of charge. Where i can i learn more about RAPIX? Please visit the Ozuno website for more information about the RAPIX lighting system. What hardware will this work on? The driver will work on Control4 OS 3.3.0 or higher and will work with RAPIX Zone Controllers. We recommend updating RAPIX to the latest version of firmware to ensure compatibility. Note it will not work with RAPIX eHub hardware due to the API we are using. What can I use flags for? Flags are on/off based variables used in RAPIX. This can be manipulated within Control4 to trigger RAPIX programming. It can also be used with RAPIX triggering Control4 programming. This is useful for when for example you want the flag change (eg button press) to trigger Control4 programming (eg all off macro). The driver will not connect even though the IP address entered is correct. The Control4 Director must be on a static IP Address and listed in the Unencrypted Connections list in the RAPIX project. See enabling third party control section of this document. The capability of the DALI load is incorrect. The driver will obtain the capabilities of the zone. Unfortunately not all Dali loads can be automatically detected due to non compliance to standards by certain manufacturers. As such if the capabilities are not detected then you can override the capabiltiies in the zone driver’s properties page. How do I find out more information about the driver? Please see the links below for more information about the driver. Driver Link

    We do have a Sky driver for Germany. https://chowmain.software/drivers/control4-german-sky If you are still having problems please reach out to our support team. We get asked this question several times a week. At present we do not have an API for the Glass / Puck. As such we cannot write a driver for it.
  13. alanchow
    Hue's are different as they utilise a bridge which has a group based API. TP-Link however does not have a group based API and each device is on its own. As such we highly recommend utilising lighting scenes to fire multiple loads together. Note they will still operate independantly. If you want to handle larger runs (30 meters indoors or 50 meters outdoors) we recommend the Shelly RGBW2 hardware with BYO strips. https://chowmain.software/drivers/control4-shelly-generic Shelly have produced a guide on how to use the RGBW2 including wiring practices.

    Given its worked for such a long period of time its likely the issue was caused by a drop out of communications. Certain control4 user interfaces sends a START_VOL_UP, STOP_VOL_UP and START_VOL_DOWN, STOP_VOL_DOWN proxy command via director to drivers. If communications is cut and the STOP_VOL_UP / DOWN command is not issued or received by the device (say due to zigbee or wifi issues - attenuation, interference, range, etc) then the driver will keep ramping forever. Regardless of who the driver is developed by. This even happens on drivers built via driver wizard / AVGEN in Control4 composer. This is the architecture of Control4 and has been the case since 2006 / Control4 OS 1.x

    The Shelly guys gave us some new devices at CEDIA (dimmer included). We have implemented support for the device in the beta version of the driver.
  16. alanchow
    Driver is Kasa only
  17. alanchow
    We just copied and pasted what the Dahua guys gave us. You'll need to reach out to Dahua for support on this as they produced the firmware.
  18. alanchow
    Feedback. So you won’t be able to detect the disc type for example.
  19. alanchow
    API we used was discontinued so its been discontinued.
  20. alanchow
    We were contracted to only develop the driver for the citation amp. We have not tested it on other models. if you wish to get other model support please reach out to harman to express your interest

    Overview French company Archisoft, who also manufacturer Zappiti media players, has developed the Reavon brand to fill the void in the high-end 4K disc player market caused by the departure of Oppo and the general unavailability of Pioneer’s disc spinners. The Chowmain Reavon Bluray Player driver for Control4 introduces the most advanced bi-directional control and feedback of Reavon bluray players for home theatre connoisseurs and audiophiles to help to create the perfect automated media experience. From simply inserting a disc into the player the integration is smart enough to automatically turn on the system for audio consumption or video consumption. Lights will automatically dim upon disc playback and raise on pause or stop. This integration is a must have for those who want the best experience for disc based media. Driver Features Two way control and feedback (note requires hybrid IR + IP or RS232 + IP communications) Automatically turn on the room based on the type of disc in the player. Eg it will turn on the receiver only if it detects an audio disc however if it detects a video disc it will also turn on the TV. Custom defined buttons for non intuitive buttons Play, Pause, Stop feedback Loading Disc, Scanning, Slow motion, Disk Tray Open feedback Disc Type (None, DVD, Data CD, Audio CD, SACD or Bluray) detection feedback FAQ What hardware will this work on? This driver will work for the following models. It may also work with future models; Note that the driver requires mixed communications (either IR or RS232 along with IP for feedback) UBR-X100 Communications - IR + IP UBR-X110 Communications - IR + IP UBR-X200 Communications - IR + IP or RS232 + IP If you do not need feedback IP is not required. Why do we need to do hybrid communications? Unfortunately current generation Reavon models go to a deep sleep when it is powered off. As such the ethernet port turns off in this state. RS232 on the UBR-X200 offers one-way control only as well. As such we need to combine IR + IP for full two-way control or RS232 + IP for full two-way control Can you give us some examples of how we could use this driver? Automatically start up the receiver when the user puts in an audio disc. Automatically start up the tv/projector and receiver when the user puts in a video disc. Automatically dim lights when the movie starts playing. Automatically raise the lights when the movie pauses or stops. Change receiver settings when audio discs or video discs are inserted. Utilise the awesome built in DAC for audiophiles. I want to try this driver out before buying it? All Chowmain drivers for Control4 come with a 90 day trial. How do I find out more information about the driver? Please see the links below for more information about the driver. Driver Link
