    We have had to remove the Zappiti driver for sale due to firmware issues breaking integration (in particular library based browsing and playback).
    This issue happened in Q3 2022.  Zappiti is aware of the issue and have been trying to resolve it.
    If this issue gets resolved we will resume sales.
    At this point in time if you have a working Zappiti integration do not upgrade the firmware.

    alanchow got a reaction from Andrew luecke in Chowmain - BREL HOME Driver (FREE)   
    Overview
    Chowmain releases FREE manufacturer sponsored BREL HOME driver for Control4. The BREL HOME Program brings the automatic power of window decoration and sun shading to your home.
    BREL HOME has a comprehensive range of motors for a variety of window decoration and sun shading, including Roller Shades, Roman Shades, Honeycomb Shades, Cellular/Pleated Shades, Triangle Honeycomb, TDBU pleated, Awnings, Screens, Double rollers, Curtains, Roller shutters, Roof rollers, and many more which we can motorise.
    One of the unique features of BREL HOME is the BJE24TR (made in collaboration with Benthin). This motor has been specially developed for angled windows (pictured), so that they can be fitted with pleated blinds. The Triangle motor ensures that the intermediate bar of the pleated blind first goes down until it is horizontal. Then the bottom bar will drop to the end position. This prevents the angled blind from getting stuck in the window.
    The system also includes a Wi-Fi bridge, which enables mobile app control and doubles as a bridge for integration with third party control systems like Control4 for all our motors with up / down / stop, position and tilt based control.
    Driver Features

    About Brel Home
    Brel Home is a Dutch company specialized in drives and controls for both indoor and outdoor sun protection.
    With more than 50 years of experience in the industry, founders Reinoud Arts and Erik Budding have set a goal with Brel Home to make home automation for sun blinds affordable and accessible to everyone.
    You can find out more about Brel Home via their website
    How much does this driver cost?
    This is a manufacturer sponsored driver and is released for FREE
    What does this work for?
    This will work for all your Brel Home products. Note it is important to select the right WiFi Bridge model (see below).
    What is the difference between the different bridge models?
    The hub Hub-02 is for both mono and bi-directional motors. Hub-01 and Hub-03 is for bi-directional motors only.
    Does this device provide two way control?
    This driver will provide bi-directional control and feedback over blinds / curtains that have two-way feedback. If the motor is uni directional only the driver will assume the last state sent is the current state. Note that the USB hub Hub-01 and Hub-03 is for bi-directional motors only and will not work for uni directional motors. 
    How doe Uni Directional Drivers work?
    Uni Directional Drivers have up, down and stop commands only. There is no feedback on the driver. Note uni directional motors are only supported by the WiFi Bridge DD-7002B model.
    How does TDBU Drivers work?
    TDBU drivers have two proxies associated. One for the top and one for the bottom. The top motor closes when it goes up and opens when it goes down. The bottom motor does the opposite and closes when it goes down and opens when it goes up. Also note that if the top motor goes below the bottom motor’s level it will force the bottom motor to move to the top motors desired level. This happens in reverse when the bottom motor goes above the top motor’s level as well.
    How does Tilt Drivers works?
    The Tilt driver has two proxies associated. One for the position and one for tilt. Note that on some motors tilt is driven by a single motor and as such tilting the louver will cause the main position to shift slightly between 95-100%. This is normal behavior.
    How do Triangular Motors work?
    Triangular drivers have one proxy representing two motors. One for the top and one for the bottom.
    The description below shows the positions of the motors at different levels.
    Position A (Top Fully Open, Bottom Fully Open) – Control4 100% level Position B (Top Fully Closed, Bottom Fully Open) – Control4 50% Position C (Top Fully Closed, Bottom Fully Closed) – Control4 0% level How do I find out more information about the driver?

    This was a mistake.  You cannot do that.
    The event logging driver should do what you want though.  Its designed to log events into a text file which you can access via web browser or SMB share.
    The notificaiton suite can also attach any file on a webserver to an email and send it off.
    It can be used together to send the event log.

    alanchow got a reaction from Andrew luecke in Chowmain - ELK M1 Security Panel Driver Version 2   
    Overview
    Chowmain releases new ELK M1 security panel driver for Control4. This driver is a brand new driver we have written from the ground up that is even better than the original M1 driver we wrote two years ago. This new driver utilises the same licencing as the original driver and as such comes at no additional cost to existing licence holders.
    Elk's M1 Controls incorporate security, fire, door entry control, and energy & task management to provide total control of home or business. By working with products from over 50 partner manufacturers the M1 Gold offer a truly integrated solution. These IP accessible systems offer simple, yet powerful on-site and remote user interfaces, giving the consumer full control anytime, from anywhere.
    The Chowmain M1 driver for Control4 offers extensive integration of the M1 functionality to truely expand Control4's functionality to not only security based services but also occupancy and input/output expansion for automation tasks and is compatible with both Ness and ELK M1 systems.
    The Chowmain ELK M1 driver is compatible with both Ness M1 and ELK M1 systems via RS232 or IP connectivity (requires optional ELK-M1XEP Module)
    Driver Features
    End User Interface Features Include
    Full support for all 8 areas Large variety of arming modes - Away, Stay, Stay instant, Night, Vacation, Disarm Bypass/unbypass functionality Alarm Code change function (Can be disabled by Installer) Virtual Function Button Support - F1,F2,F3,F4,F5,F6 Fire, Panic, Police and Medical Emergency functionality built into alarm (Requires configuration and testing by Installer). Invalid User Code Feedback Both detailed and simple Zone feedback options, with zone list Visual feedback of Warnings and Trouble History support with custom driver for display of alarm logs Output Control and Feedback for all outputs (requires configuration by Installer) Installer Features Include
    Huge Library of events including Trouble, Function Key Feedback, Tasks and Keypad Accesses for Door Access Control and feedback of Function Keys via Configurable Keypads or Experience buttons (via BUTTON_LINK / CONTACT_SENSOR) Quickly Configure Push/Email notifications for major events Alarm State Events, including an improved Alarm Event. M1 and M1XEP version Feedback Powerful logging functions via Control4 Composer History User Accessible Alarm Code Modification (can be disabled by Installer). M1 Counters (Requires Manual Polling by Installer) Automatic Clock Sync Temperature integration Basic support for M1 Lighting. Lights, Relays and Dimmers integration via M1 for greater integration and Advanced Lighting Support. Zone integration via Contact Closure Advanced system to allow override of arming modes using custom programming or prompt for custom PIN number Prompt for Custom PIN for custom commands Powerful Commands are provided including: Activation of Tasks Bypass Zones. Unbypass Zones or partitions. Change User Code Display Text On Keypad Function Key Presses Polling/Writing of M1 Counters Speak Phrases or Words Panel Clock Sync Toggle Outputs Zone Triggers FAQ
    What are the benefits of the V2 driver over V1
    The list of benefits is huge, but, here are some of the major ones
    New History / Log Interface Driver. View ELKRP Logs in realtime. Completely rewritten communications system with huge benefits improving reliability and speed Optimised for Core Controllers (or later) and CA-10. These Controllers are even faster First time load is now significantly better on all controllers Output bindings are named Interact with your Keypad Function buttons in new ways using our new Button Links + Keypad Illumination bindings Use Custom Ports. 2101 is no longer required Huge List of New variables. Virtually limitless programming options available Custom arming modes system. Arming now detects open zones And lots more Why was the ELK Lock Driver Removed in V2?
    The ELK Lock Driver requires a rewrite, and is not compatible with the new V2 driver. There is no ETA for its return. We recommend using the Door Access Events and Access Users in ELKRP instead. Can I automatically upgrade between V2 and V1
    Due to the major upgrades between V1 and V2, the driver upgrade is a manual process, as the drivers are designed differently. The lighting drivers hare compatible with both V1 and V2, and the connection can simply be moved to the new driver. What cool things can driver do?
    If you are using RS232 based communications the clock on the keypads usually drift after a while. The driver will automatically sync the clock to the controller's time so that it will always be accurate. The driver provides push and email notificaitons without programming for all major events. This is useful for the home owner to know who armed or disarmed the area. Keypad bindings for keypad function buttons and RF keyfob buttons makes it easy to program the driver. History Driver allows the customer and Installers to review whats happened in their home easily without ELKRP. Perform custom arming for different arming modes. Instead of arming Vacation mode for instance, you can turn off the house, provide feedback to the user and then execute a task on the panel, for it to perform additional tasks before executing vacation mode Provide Experience buttons which utilise the Keypad Function Illumination feedback to trigger actions on the alarm. Or even bind function buttons on the keypads to Configurable keypads What module is required to connect to the panel via network
    Whilst this module supports serial, we recommend the use of IP, using a M1-XEP module which also helps facilitate reconfiguration of the panel locally or remotely (with port forwarding or a seperate VPN server/router), without the requirement to disconnect the Control4 system. Keep in mind, whilst connected in ELKRP, Control4 cannot connect properly to the Ness M1, but will automatically try to reconnect after ELKRP has disconnected The C1M1 has not been tested by Chowmain, but we have been provided feedback by users that it does operate I'm typing the correct code, however, disarming or arming does not operate
    In ELKRP, ensure that the "Access" permission is unticked for the user. "Access" is used for door access controls instead of arming / disarming and when enabled, will treat the code as a door access attempt should not be enabled for general alarm usage or most installers. If Access permissions are granted, attempts to arm or disarm the system from Control4 will not disarm the system, but instead incorrectly trigger a door access event instead. I'm getting Keypad doesn't exist errors
    Ensure every partition you control has a NESS keypad available for control4
    There is missing information in the M1 interface (Zones improperly named, or other information missing).
    Re-Run Auto-Setup. It may have been incorrectly interrupted
    Auto-Notifications are not sending.
    Auto-Notifications requires a 4Sight subscription. Check Spam. Check that your panel has been set up properly When executing programming commands, the client is notified of "SAFE MODE" errors.
    Use of Bypass, Unbypass and Arming commands require SAFE Mode to be disabled by the installer. For more information, on SAFE MODE, refer to Quickstart information provided with the driver or the full driver manual

    The Big Ass Fans driver for Control4 is the best way to operate the fan as it provides bi-directional control and feedback.
    This means you can utilise the original remote, wall controller, etc to operate the fan (and light) and both Control4 and the Big Ass Fans app will always stay in sync.

    alanchow got a reaction from Andrew luecke in Chowmain - Polyaire Airtouch 5 Driver   
    Overview
    Chowmain releases Polyaire Airtouch 5 driver for Control4. The Polyaire AirTouch 5 is the 5th Generation of their flagship air conditioning controller that is as smart as it looks. AirTouch 5 features a new interface designed to make managing up to 16 VRF (variable refrigerant flow) units in commercial or residential buildings easy, attractive and enjoyable.
    AirTouch helps deliver comfort by sending cooled or heated air where you want it, and shut off unused areas enabling your system to reach the set point temperature where it is needed faster, and more economically. It allows you to adjust the airflow going into each room in small increments or even change the temperature throughout the house or in specific areas.
    Integration to Control4 allows you to integrate the systems and zones managed by the Airtouch5 for seamless operation.
    Driver Features
    Two way IP Control Control of up to all 8 AC units Temperature feedback, HVAC mode, Setpoint and Fan contro Control of up to 16 zones Control of zone air flow Control of zone powe Control of zone setpoints (if available) FAQ
    My Airtouch5 system has multiple AC's connected to it. Does your driver support multi air conditioner units
    Yes our driver will support the same number of ACs that the Airtouch supports. You need to add a driver for each AC you want to control. All available zones are available in the Extras section of each driver. If you have two AC units with 3 zones on the first AC and 4 on the second AC, you can see all 7 in both drivers.
    What models will this work for?
    This driver has been tested with Airtouch5 Console model 1.1.1 however, it should work with console version 1.0.3 and above
    How do I find the IP address of the Airtouch5?
    To see the IP address of the console, go to Settings > Options click the button with your access point name in it > click SEE MORE > Select Wi-Fi > click the connected Wi-Fi name > Advanced section and scroll down to the bottom of the page
    Where are all the zones in your driver?
    We expose the zones through the extras tab in the C4 UI
    Can I program the zones from the Programming section? Yes you can. As this section cannot be dynamically built, you need to make sure that you've selected a valid ZONE and VALUE for the control type. If the zone is controlled by temperature, you have to select a valid temperature value.

    alanchow reacted to Cinegration in Shades not following programming but still work?!   
    There is a bug in Control4 3.3.2 where the programming open and close commands don’t work.  The solution is to use the programming commands ‘set target level’. Try that first.

    Daylight Agent adds circadian lighting to Control4
    SnapOne just released the Daylight Agent for Control4. This new agent warms and cools white LED temperatures to the rising and setting of the sun for improved circadian health. By mimicing the color temperatures of natural daylight (waking hours high in blue spectrum/bright and sunsets fall in blue spectrum/warmer/dimmer) artificial lighting helps the body prepare for the day, be most alert when it needs to and prepares the body for rest when its time for sleep.
    Chowmain is proud to announce that we have updated our drivers to support the new Daylight Agent. The following drivers now support the new agent
    Govee Light Group LIFX Shelly Switchbot TP-Link Kasa WiZ Yeelight Haven't used our drivers before? To ensure customer satisfaction all of our drivers come with a 90 day trial. We also offer 50% discounts on licencing for the homes of integrators employees and FREE showroom licencing for integrators who have showrooms.

    I would assume that you could also create your own screen Experience button and program against this?

    You can set it to a screen icon by changing the Blind Type in the driver's properties.  Note that it will still be in the same section in your navigator user interfaces.  Just different icon.

    It could be anything in your system and the best person to diagnose is a Control4 support engineer.
    They will pinpoint the issue for you rather than guessing as there are diagnostic tools they use in-house to pinpoint performance issues.
    We work closely with them and usually if they find something they notify us 
    As such the drivers we write are usually pretty solid.  We go the extra mile by adding our own diagnostics in along with other features to ensure the quality of the drivers we create are of the highest quality.

    This statement is correct and what we had to do to modify our licenced lighting drivers that support color temp for daylight agent support.
    We worked closely with Control4 to ensure our drivers co-incided with their agent launch.
