    alanchow got a reaction from Andrew luecke in Is there any c4 api call to remove specific driver from project or invoke driver restart   
    No you cannot do that.  Also not the right place to ask.  You should discuss Control4 SDK / API questions directly to Control4.

    alanchow got a reaction from South Africa C4 user in Chowmain Govee Driver - Why does it add every newly added device to ALL navigators? Can it not just add it to the room the device was added in?   
    There is a dropdown in the properties of the driver that automatically hides or shows the devices.  Set that to false.
    Having said that it will change in OS 3.3 as we no longer have seperate sliders for individual channels with the new RGBW lighting functionality being introduced.
    As such this new driver we are introducing won’t have this issue as it will only be a single light with RGBW support.

    alanchow got a reaction from c44me in Hikvision Doorstation now Control4 compatible   
    Today we are proud to release the Hikvision Doorstation driver for Control4.  This integration is now included as part of Chowmain’s Hikvision driver suite which integrates Hikvision’s DVR’s, NVR’s  and IP cameras providing not only live view on IP cameras but smart events on motion, line crossing, licence plate recognition and more if utilized with AcuSense or ANPR Cameras along with virtual remote control simulation on I series NVRs and TurboHD DVRs.
    This integration lowers the price of door station integration for Control4 home owners making it affordable for all installation sizes.  Existing customers will get this new Intercom driver at no additional cost.  Pricing of the driver suite will not be increased.
    Chowmain and Hikvision US & AU have worked closely on making the doorstation integration seamless in Control4.  This includes creation of a custom firmware tailored to Control4 allowing doorstations to call Control4 touchscreens and mobile applications with video and audio communications.
    Integration is not only limited to communications and the driver provides control over electronic locks connected to the door station along with smart event feedback.
    Smart event feedback is the most powerful feature of the integration.  Examples of smart event programming include playback of doorbell sounds across all speakers in the home when the call button is pushed, automated porch/pathway lighting when motion is detected along with push notifications with image snapshot on these events.
    A summary of the intercom driver's functionality is as below.
    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) Call Answered Alarm 1 - 4 Triggered (traditionally 1 & 2 are used for door state closed, 3 & 4 is used for exit button pushed but can be used for other programming) This doorstation integration is compatible with the following models of door station.

    alanchow reacted to Andrew luecke in Chowmain - TP-Link Wifi Smart Home Driver Suite   
    Unsure what we're allowed to disclose at this time. Because the TPLink driver was written a lot time ago though, the entire TPLink package has been rewritten and simplified though as part of the beta (and a beta has already been provided to dealers who have requested it).
    The biggest change in TPLink V2 (which uses the same licencing as V1) is that there are far less drivers dealers need to install, better support for future products, new light driver, a provisioning system for easy setup, and a generic outlet driver which should work for all outlets (instead of 10 different outlet drivers).
    There are also many other improvements on the backend.
