Maybe when we do the Full version.  For now i recommend using a service like Domotz where you can monitor the uptime of a device.  It can even monitor if a port is open or closed and based upon this automatically power cycle the device using a wemo.

Flawless.

Chowmain - Sky+HD / SkyQ / Sky Q Mini for Control4 
Sky is a British satellite broadcast service provider. Chowmain has developed an IP based driver that provides control over UK based Sky set top boxes. This IP driver eliminates the need to attach infra red emitters to the set top box and is compatible with the Sky+ HD, Sky Q and Sky Q mini boxes. On top of IP control the driver also provides automatic channel media list updates for Control4. This ensures that the channel listing on Control4's user interface is always upto date with the latest channels for that particular region. 
Features 
No more IR buds 3-10 times faster than IR control  Channel selection from navigator  Automatic Channel list update - Always have upto date channels on your Control4 navigator. Never be effected by channel number changes or when Sky adds or removes a channel again.  Select your region and have all the Sky channels automatically import periodically for your area.  Select your period (Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Fortnightly, Monthly) or you can also manually update via programming action (tie it to a custom button or experience button).  FAQ 
Can you give us some examples of how we could use this driver?? 
No more IR buds means no more IR bleeding and accidentally bud knocks.  Speed up control over your customer's sky set top box.  Your customer's sky media list will always be upto date with all the channels for their particular region.  What hardware will this work on? 
This will work on any Control4 controller running OS 2.6 or later and with the following sky boxes.

There is a variable for the holiday name.  Having said that from my research the Yom Tov's will execute the Candle Lighting and Havdalah events as well will in turn will change the IS_SHABBAT variable to true.

Chowmain - Video Game Integration 
OS 2.9 introduced experience buttons. This allowed us to add icons to Control4's navigator user interface. It also allowed us to create what is called 'no control devices'. These devices when selected do not display any transport controls on the user interface. Control4 has done a good job in making a few of the more common devices. We have utilised the no control experience buttons to integrate EVERY video game console ever made. Combine it with the Chowmain Belkin WeMo Insight driver and have the system automatically turn on when the video game console powers up and have the whole system turn off when the console turns off. 
The following video game consoles have been integrated. 
Arcade Games  Atari 2600  Atari 5200  Atari 7800  Atari Jaguar  Colecovision  Microsoft Xbox  Microsoft Xbox 360  Microsoft Xbox One  Microsoft Xbox Series S Microsoft Xbox Series X NEC PC Engine  NEC TurboGrafx  Nintendo Entertainment System  Super Nintendo  Nintendo 64  Nintendo Gamecube  Nintendo Wii  Nintendo Wii U  Odyssey  Philips CD-i  Sega Master System  Sega Master System II  Sega Mega Drive  Sega Genesis  Sega Saturn  Sega Dreamcast  Sony Playstation  Sony PSONE  Sony Playstation 2  Sony Playstation 3  Sony Playstation 4  Sony Playstation 5 Sony PS Vita TV  SNK Neo Geo  FAQ 
Can you give us some examples of how we could use this driver? 
Make your user interface nicer by adding the correct icons for their video game consoles.  The icons when selected will switch to the correct input and will NOT display any controls.  Combined with WeMo Insight Switches and our Belkin Wemo driver you can turn on the video game console using your controller and have Control4 automatically turn on the system to the right inputs. Turn off the console using the console's controller or power button and have Control4 automatically turn the room off. All of this is done via power sensing through the outlet.  Why do you only support OS 2.9 and above? 
This driver is reliant on a new proxy introduced in OS 2.9.0

I asked Houselogix to look up Advance Electronics Winnipeg (advance.mb.ca) and out of the two registered accounts they own only one has ever submittted a single ticket (Trevor did) and that was not in relation to Plex (it was for Wemo).
Tickets are used for tracking and in the end will not help you.  Basically our helpdesk will need to work with your dealer to determine what the problem is and will require your dealer to provide them with detailed information about the problem and logs capturing the problem for diagnosis.
Get your dealer to submit this information via the open support ticket feature on their website.

Sorry for the late reply.  Didn't see this post.
Forecast.io and OpenWeatherMap are two different services.  Both of which provide similar functionality but one may be better for your application than another. The driver already returns these values The variable will return a number value of 0-100 The driver will only update the values (ie poll the web service) when you fire this action.  you can tie it into schedules, timers, buttons or whatever you want but regardless this action must be taken to update the values.

I have tried it. I've used it in my own system for a year before I got fed up with what the poster I replied to is experiencing. These are not shuttering or slowdown issues from a cheap box or crappy network. I built my box myself from scratch, it's super fast with no issues. Changing to Alan's driver has made the transports within movie playback perfect.
