    Our Dahua driver will allow you to send push notifications with snapshots whenever you want.  Just do it in programming.

    The amazing thing is how quick Siri is in recognising / actioning the voice request ….. and obviously the flexibility that you can actually to anything which is connected into C4 so easily.

    Glad everyone’s liking it.  We actually developed it for a generic inbound web server but a side effect was that it worked with Siri Shortcuts.
    I use it for a quick all off, opening and closing garage doors and quick HVAC Cool/Heat/Off

    Haven't tested the others.  It likely will work though.  If you have the bulbs already then i recommend you try it out using our 90 day trial.

    For me, it only working locally is part of the beauty, as I like the security inherent with this. Another super reliable driver from your team - thanks @alanchow!

    Yep for those who haven’t done it before we have a guide on how to do it on our website.  Only limitation is they it will only work on your own network (unless you port forward which we don’t recommend).

    Old topic but i created a completely universal driver for Optoma projectors with bi-directional control and feedback via IP and RS232.  Tested on multiple projectors and it works so well.

    I use the Generic TCP Command driver from Chowmain for this. Works great with native iOS Shortcuts -- see below -- (which links to Siri, though I don't use that).

    Correct you can’t get status from the tcp driver and Siri Shortcuts.  
    homebridge might work a bit better but I just use the tcp driver myself.  Works like a champ.

    I can’t say if it’ll differentiate between monkeys and humans.  It’s best to reach out to Hikvision about that question.
    What I can tell you is that all smart events regardless of models are imported into Control4

    We just launched our second mobile webview driver.
    The Scheduler webview driver for Control4 provides end users with the ability to schedule pre-setup presets/macros via Control4’s T3 touchscreen and T4 touchscreen along with Control4’s iPhone, iPad or Android based applications.
    We have designed the scheduler to look, feel and operate in a similar manner to the Control4 thermostat scheduler.  As such not only is it very functional but the UI feels and operates like a Control4 interface.
    The driver allows you to setup a repeating schedule which will repeat on a weekly basis or setup a one off schedule that will only operate once and will remove or disable itself after it executes.
    An infinite amount of Presets/Macros can be setup by the dealer to suit the customer’s lifestyle and Control4 system.  For example you can create Sprinklers On and Sprinklers Off presets or for a commercial job they can setup a shop open and shop close schedule.

    alanchow got a reaction from Andrew luecke in Chowmain - Epson Universal Projector Driver   
    Overview
    Epson provides a universal API (ESC/VP21) for their range of projectors for both IP and RS232 based controls.
    The Chowmain Epson universal projector driver for Control4 provides seamless integration of all Epson projectors via this API and allows you to control all the standard features you would expect with a projector and more.
    Features
    Bi-directional control and feedback Both RS232 and IP based integration Lamp hour feedback Error feedback Automatic email and push notification on errors (requires 4sight) Audio Controls (Volume Up, Volume Down) Power management Source selection Commands Screen Mirroring AV Mute Freeze 3D Enhance 4K HDR HDR Color Space Aspect Ratio Color Mode Luminance Image Memory (Recall / Register / Delete) Lens Position (Recall / Register / Delete) FAQ
    Can you give us some examples of how we could use this driver?
    The driver has the ability to automatically send notifications on warnings and errors. This makes it easily for integrators to proactively service their customers when the projector is due for a bulb change or requires immediate attention. On projectors that have lens memory you can recall these lens memory positions via the driver's programming commands. This is extremely useful if you combine it with something like the Chowmain Kaleidescape driver which can provide you with the aspect ratio feedback of the movie. Automate lens positions to suit the movie you are watching to ensure that 235 movies fit the screen perfectly without manual intervention! Have the screen blank or lens closed until certain conditions, like theatre curtains being fully opened, are met Custom button programming to change the 3D sync setting of the projector or have the projector automatically set a 3D sync option depending on the source Dynamically set the color temperature and picture modes depending on the input source What hardware will this work on?
    This driver utilises the currently available settings from the Epson universal API. Current and future projectors that adhere to this API will work with this driver.
    How do I find out more information about the driver?
    Please see the links below for more information about the driver.

    Today Control4 released mobile webview which is a major feature release for customers running Control4 OS 3.1.3 (or later) with mobile app versions 321.46 (or later). We are proud to announce that we have launched the first 3rd party mobile webview driver for Control4 which is designed to assist integrators to keep in contact with their customerbase through our Contact Us driver for Control4.

    The Contact Us driver for Control4 allows integrators to provide an elegrant contact us page on the Control4 T3 touchscreen, Control4 T4 touchscreen, iPhone, iPad and Android devices with the ability to provide their own logo, address, phone and email contact details along with a text field that they can use for whatever they want (eg a short company description or details specific to that project).

    The URL is clickable which allows the user to visit the integrator's website on the T3, T4 or mobile device.

    On iOS devices a force touch on the phone number will allow them to call the number and force touch on the email will allow them to email the email address.

    This provides integrators with the ability to market their business to the people utilising the Control4 system they installed.

    We have priced this driver at an extremely low price so that integrators can utilise it in every project.
