    Hello!
    I've just released v20 of this driver, it adds support for OS 3.4.2 and also adds a property to increase/decrease the volume of Google Speech announcements
    There's also a sale on the driver price for the next couple of weeks

    This is literally why we made the email+ agent.  It’s designed to simplify email and push notifications.

    The right solution is to upgrade to os 3.  Switching properties is very fast now. Ask @South Africa C4 user

    Hear hear! Strongly recommend OS3 and it is simple enough to switch between properties in one app.

    Get proper fire/heat and proper CO's installed to tie into your security system. Yes fugly ceiling clutter but sometimes design just can't trump safety....

    I read it as being written by SNAP ONE’s counsel, nothing more, nothing less. And i don’t blame Snap One. In time, we will all know if this latest driver is a good solution. For me, I just wish it was available on DC. Ultimately, if not DC, I wish SnapOne would take over the driver store for C4. Just my HO - so don't shoot!

    Cinegration reacted to RAV in Can a ceiling fan be used with a dimmable module?   
    Can't do that.
    A lighting dimmer works by quickly switching on/off the CURRENT (Triac); less current at one time = less brightness.
    An AC Fan Controller works by changing the voltage's FREQUENCY; reduced frequency = slower rotation.
    A DC Fan Controller works by reducing DC supply VOLTAGE; lower voltage = slower rotation.
    You can not interchange any of these.

    Cinegration reacted to GregCAMS in Snap VS JoshAI   
    that's the nice part about the platforms.  Different use cases for different households.  We had 4 T3's in the house from approx 2017 - early 2020 and maybe used them 1-2 per week.  When we switched to using Josh in place of the T3's we use them 40-50 times per day for anything from morning routines (that vary on time of day so not scheduled in) to discrete commands when my hands are full.  My wife uses it a lot to open close shades, turn on music and the such for her in-home daycare without having to find a remote or get to a wall with a touchscreen.  For us, Josh is a discretionary spend but also has allowed us to get more value out of not only the Control4 devices we already had (i.e. lights, A/V, etc.) but saved on programming like Lutron shades where they just worked from the jump without having the integrator program them in.  For the most part we use it as a 'layered' device in the same approach that Crestron has chosen to use it with their integration options with and making their OS Home app available on  the AVA remote. 
    Having used the system at this volume for 4 years provides enough of a sample size for our use case to recommend it to those that have a similar interest.  If not sold on it and haven't used it before, that's all good too.  And as far as price it fits our budget as we prioritize items like this discretionary spend over other items (cars, clothing, etc.) that others may value as good use of discretionary.  We were considering Alexa and Google originally and I went to the Origin Acoustics HQ here in Vegas to play around with it in 2018.  It was super clunky at the time and slow so it was a non-starter at the time.  Voice is viewed as a complimentary element on our end and today the Josh platform provides a much enhanced home user experience for us for the reasons stated above and the very easy custom scene creation, editing and the like in the portal.  That part alone has saved us thousands of dollars in creating custom scenes, triggers, etc and far superior to the When>Then C4 functionality.  So I see these, in present state, as complimentary products if you have this or a related use case that fits your lifestyle.  For us it's been fantastic as a paying customer for nearly 4 years of use.
    If we were to move/build a new home, it would be a strong potential to go to just Josh given the ease of use, deployment, hardware costs, and amount of daily use we get from the system.  The reliability has also been quite good on the items we've compared on a case by case function such as using it to raise/lower shades versus the raise and lower on a C4 keypad, the 2N/DS Mini notifications, door locking and relays, etc.  I am not sure it's quite there for a large installation (not an integrator so this is conjecture), but from what I have used and seen at other smaller installations (i.e. condos, townhomes) it works very well and reliably in my friends' and colleagues' properties as a standalone.

    Thank you :).  Yes, we worked directly with JellyFish on this and the integration adds a colorful complement to exterior lighting!  
    Some of features the drivers supports are:
    Local communication NO CLOUD REQUIRED Instant feedback (or almost instant depending on what networking equipment you have). Ability to execute any pattern (that's what scenes are called in JellyFish) in Control4 Patterns can be triggered via the Lighting extras page

    Cinegration reacted to shawkyns in Snap VS JoshAI   
    Outs or not, I just hope that Josh will be supported by control4 or Snap going forward.  I had this put into my house a year or so ago, and find it really opens the system for use.  My wife was not a huge fan of control4, found it confusing at times.. she loves just being able to tell josh to 'play music in the backyard', or to turn off all the lights in 5 minutes and not have to go to a touchscreen and mess with the hierarchical controls to adjust the 7 thermostats we have in the house.  using alexa or even siri, which we did for a time, is just not the same.

    Cinegration reacted to RyanE in Anyone add a CA-10 to a Core5 system for performance reasons?   
    Not only is every project different, the CA10 and EA/Core controllers are different CPU architectures, and run different sets of daemons.
    It's not just an Apples and Oranges comparison, it's Apples and Limited-slip Differentials.
    There's no guarantee the CA10 will make your system faster, but it definitely won't make it slower.

    Cinegration got a reaction from DanITman in Luma... Garbage?? SnapAV doesn't care?   
    Unifi protect is just awesome.  
    We’ve installed and deployed well over 300 systems.  Never looked back.  The app is amazing, the cameras have local communications, no yearly fee for recording, local recording, etc…
    it may not have the ‘support’ and we counter that by training our techs and staff.  there might be better unique or industrial requiments unifi doesn’t support and we’d use another brand. But…  in 4 years not a single grumpy customer since switching so yea    
    best part is customers are sending us video clips when they have something happen at their house
    with our Luma jobs we basically have to remote in and help them when they need to extract the video for police etc   
     
    user experience is paramount and unifi listened to what the luxury resident space needed
