    Due to chip shortages over COVID they had to re-engineer the doorstations to use a different chipset.
    Hikvision is still working on their custom firmware for the new revision doorstations.
    The driver will work for all PTZ cameras for Hikvision regardless of model.

    Chowmain - Ultimate Hikvision Driver for Control4!
    Hikvision, who is a popular surveillance manufacturer, produce a range of products for both residential and commercial applications.  As one of our top requested drivers we felt that we needed to create the ultimate Hikvision driver for Control4.
    This driver pushes the integration of Hikvision by offering integration to NVR/DVRs, IP Cameras and Doorstation Intercoms which allows integrators to push the boundaries of security and home automation.  This means that surveillance is no longer just for security but can also be used to trigger motion-based programming like lighting.
    Features
    Doorstation Intercom
    Integration to Control4's Communication Agent / SIP Server. Providing the ability to call Control4 touchscreens and mobile devices (4sight required) for both video and audio communications.
    The Hikvision DS-KV8xx3-WME1 range of door stations can be configured automatically by the driver to work with Control4 for convenient set up and configuration
    Ability to set Control4's Intercom Custom Button actions
    Ability to trigger electronic locks (output 1 & 2)
    Ability to use the door station as a regular IP camera stream
    Automatic push notifications with snapshot for motion and/or call button press (requires 4sight)
    Through Hikvision's alert stream technology, our driver can provide the following real time notifications for integrators to program against:
    Video motion detection alerts
    Call button press
    Line busy (no answer)

    FAQ
     
    What about Hikvisions NVR and DVR range?
    The driver supports cameras connected to the rear of NVRs for live view of cameras along with PTZ and events. It also supports onscreen navigation for certain NVR and DVR products..
    The following models provide addtional onscreen navigation via a customised firmware developed by Hikvision in partnership with us.
    TurboHD DVR - 72xxHUHI-K2 series
    Network Video Recorders - 76/77/96xx I Series NVR
    What doorstation models are compatible?
    The following models are compatible and require a customised firmware from Hikvision.  These firmwares are available via the US or AU websites linked at the bottom of this page.
    DS-KV8113-WME1
    DS-KV8413-WME1
    DS-KV8213-WME1
    What cool things can we do with this driver?
    Cameras
    The driver's Auto setup functionality makes configuration of the cameras quick and easy.
    This driver provides the ability to attach snapshots to Control4 Push Notifications (4sight required). Tie this in with the camera's motion events and your customer can get notified (with an image) if the camera detections motion.
    This camera provides live feedback of events which is useful if you want to tie in lighting to motion and other events.
    Certain cameras have the ability to detect licence plates. These cameras provide events in Control4 along with variables on the detected plate number. Use it to open gates and garage doors automatically!
    NVRs / DVRs
    View the Hikvision NVR and DVR onscreen display via its HDMI output and control it via IP. This is compatible with I series NVR and K series DVR products using a customised firmware that Hikvision developed for us.
    Doorstation Intercoms
    Talk to people at your front door from any T3,T4 or iOS / Android mobile phone at home or remotely (requires 4sight).
    Playback doorbell sounds across all speakers in the home when the call button is pushed
    Automated porch/pathway lighting when motion is detected along
    Send push notifications with image snapshot on motion and/or doorbell push
    What products will this work for?
    This will work with Hikvisions range of IP cameras, DVRs and NVRs as well as select doorstations. Some manufacturers OEM Hikvisions cameras and rebadge them as their own so it will also work with those cameras. Please test prior to licence purchase.

    How do I find out more information about the driver?

    Good question.  I don't have an answer to this.  We implemented the light on ratgdo's ESPHome firmware.  You should reach out to Paul from ratgdo to see how the light works for remote light switches.
    Personally though i would just use any Control4 integrated light switch and get the ratgdo driver to turn the light on and off.  Feedback is instant so it'll work nicely.

    I managed to figure out how to do the percentage open functionality.  Have implemented it as a one way command in the driver's commands.  This is so that i don't break the existing native Control4 garage door opener user experience that we have tied into.
    Have also implemented discrete open and close functionality as well for supported models.
    Please test this out in ESPHome first to ensure you have discrete open and close before implementing in Control4.

    The camera is a MyQ product only. As such ratgdo can't talk to it as It does not talk security + 1.0 or security + 2.0.
    We recommend replacing the camera with a Control4 integrable camera.
    We have worked with all major camera manufacturers. You can find drivers for them via our website.

    No.  That is only licencing.  Licencing is designed to persist the last state if it cannot contact the licencing server.  This is important for jobs where there are sporadic or no internet connections (eg yacht or government facilities).

    We have had a lot of interest in the ratgdo driver since we released it. For those who did not see my previous post abuot ratgdo it is a hardware based alternative to MyQ that allows provides local integration of Camberlain and Liftmaster garage motors. No cloud control, no subscriptions. Internet goes out and you will still be able to control your garage door.   The device is powered by USB. It requires 2-3 wires to connect up to your Chamberlain or Liftmaster garage motor and provides bi-directional control over motor control, built in light, irbeam/obstruction sensor feedback and motion sensor feedback.   As we have motor position feedback this means that you do not need to install reed switches to know the garage door position. The driver has implemented dual contact feedback. Out of the box it comes installed with the Garage Door (Sensor) driver but is also compatible with the 'Relay Garage Door Controller (OS 2.0+)' driver with dual contact closure bindings for fully open, partially open and closed feedback. Feedback is instantaneous due to the persistent connection Control4 has to the device so programming will happen as the motor reaches the exact positions.   The manufacturer has also provided an update to ratgdo. On top of Security + 2.0 integration they have now implemented Security + 1.0 support. As such you can now control motors manufactured 30 years ago with this!   From my understanding several of you did some pretty large orders. Due to the massive interest this caused the manufacturer to have a backlog. Those of you who ordered product when we announced the driver will have the orders shipped this week. This backlog from my discussions will be cleared by next week with orders being shipped within 24-48 hours of order receipt from then onwards. Backlogs should not happen after that as the manufacturer has increased production.

    alanchow got a reaction from South Africa C4 user in Air Conditioning integrating with Control4   
    Systems in the United states are usually seperate systems that are controlled in a pretty dumb way with a smart thermostat.  The logic to turn on and off these systems are within the thermostat itself.
    Systems outside of the United States have essentially a user interface device that controls the HVAC system and also provides the HVAC system with a local room temperature.  As such wiring is usually proprietary to that manufacturer.
    In terms of the actual HVAC system operation it can be a mix of gas and electricity though in Victoria, Australia new builds must be electricity only.  As such new systems tend to be inverter based.
    Could go on more but to be honest I'm not a HVAC guy.  We just do lots of HVAC integration.
    Hope that helps.

    Why is this product so exciting?
    ratgdo is a WiFi control board for your garage door opener that works over your local network. It connects to your door opener with three simple wires.
    It works with virtually any residential Chamberlain or Liftmaster manufactured garage door opener and also offers basic support for other brands which use dry contacts to control the door.
    It can control the door and report back the actual status of the door (closed, opening, open, closing). For Security + 2.0 door openers, the obstruction sensors, light, wireless lockout and even motion sensing are also integrated.
    What garage doors will this work on?
    Any residential door opener made in the last 25+ years by Chamberlain/Liftmaster should work. If your opener is mounted over head and has a yellow learn button, it is supported by ratgdo hardware v2.0 or greater. If your opener is a wall mounted jackshaft opener or has a red, purple or orange learn button, it is supported by ratgdo hardware v2.5 or greater.
    Door openers manufactured by the Chamberlain Group have a learn button on them. The color of the learn button can (mostly) tell you which control protocol the opener uses.
    Residential overhead mounted openers with a yellow learn button are Security + 2.0 with a red, purple or orange learn button are Security + “1.0” Residential wall mounted jackshaft openers With model 8500W or RJ070 are Security + 2.0 All others are Security + 1.0 Security + 2.0 door openers require ratgdo v2.0 control board or later Security + 1.0 & Dry Contact door openers require v2.5 control board or later Many non Chamberlain openers can be controlled with dry contacts, but also require the connection of limit switches to ratgdo in order for it to interpret the door positions (Closed, Opening, Open, Closing)
    A matrix of known / tested compatible garage doors can be found via link below.
    ratgdo wiki
    How does the motion sensors and obstruction sensors work?
    Motion detection requires a wall control panel with a built in motion detector such as the 889LM. Obstruction Status requires Obstruction Detection Beams be installed. This can be purchased from the garage door manufacturer. The ratgdo driver will automatically install the motion sensor portion and obstruction portions. If these are not available on your product configuration then please delete the motion sensor driver or irbeam driver from your project. What is the remote control lock?
    This feature allows you to disable the RF remote control from controlling the garage door. This is useful if the car is parked outdoors or if it is loaned out to someone whom the homeowner does not want to give access to the garage to.
    Help i cannot use my garage door RF remote anymore.
    You have locked the remote control. Unlock it via the driver or via the ratgdo web server.
