Sorry this is now fixed.  The server that this was on filled up and we didn't clear it.  This shouldn't be a problem in future as we've added in a cronjob that deletes the files periodically.

Never heard of it before.  Honestly though RTS is kind of a solved problem with Bond.  Its really affordable, easy to install and works well.

RTS is the same globally and can be controlled by any RTS based controller including Bond.

Control4 provide a wealth of information for new driver developers.
My suggestion is to start off on the following page
https://dealer.control4.com/support/drivers
Once you log in to your dealer account you can download the DriverWorks SDK and DriverEditor (Control4's IDE).
DriverWorks is a Lua based software development kit.  There are plenty of lua resources available but my favorites are
https://www.lua.org/
http://lua-users.org/
Control4 also provide a video training series focused on developing device drivers on the page i linked up top.  This series of training modules is targeted towards the experienced driver developer as well the beginner. It is designed to build in content as well as complexity throughout the entire curriculum.
Hope this helps.

Personally i like having a fully integrated media system in Control4.  Its definately the showpiece at my house when guests come around and I select a movie on my T3 in-wall touchscreen and have the magic of automation dim the lights (if they are on), close blinds (if they are open), turn on the receiver, turn on the projector, etc and bam movie is playing.
Media players (and software) that work well for this are (in order of my preference

Robot vacuum!
 

I submitted a tech ticket on Friday (mid day eastern time) and it was fixed when I woke up this morning. I would like to thank Alan for the wonderful support!  I knew the drivers are the best in the business but the support makes them even better. 

Ok we have found the problem.  Performed a fix but will run it for 24 hours before releasing it.
Note that you will need to relog back in one last time once we release this update.

Thanks.  Yes we have made it as easy as possible for integration of the Wifi based Tuya devices into Control4.  It definitely brings down the cost of home automation and provides some unique solutions that were not available before.

Robot vacuum!
 

+100 for me, I like integrating C4 to commercial products of great economic value, reducing TCO for some projects to affordable levels.

Great driver indeed another great addition like the IFTTT one, thanks Alan, this will allow literally millions of devices to integrate to C4 😋😋😋

I bought the driver already, I don’t have a use for it in my main house, but for my summer house for sure I have lot of use for it 😀 you just get it out at a perfect time to play with it before getting it to work …

Gosund can now be integrated via our Tuya driver
