Hi Is there a way to display a webpage as a screensaver? thx

Wel thats interesting

Security and number of ZG devices per mesh. However C4 could also run a second mesh with zigbee 3.0 and LL to support all the available options, i.e. direct HUE connection - and yet they dont..

There is an abundance of ZigBee hardware which could be put to use with Control4. I do understand the stack changes, however what prevents Control4 from creating a separate Mesh with Zigbee 3, i.e via a an external USB stick to have the best of both worlds? It would drastically increase the usefulness of Control4, especially compared to the catching up from smartthings and so on - also Matter integration would be really nice...

Since Control4's own switches and keypads are a no go due to the limited face plate designs and the lacking compatibility to just add a 3rd party face plate from a 55 or 50mm standard in Europe I have tried hue. And I can say: Forget it! Hue is good for one or two, maybe a handful of light if you need the functionality. For anything else get something else....

My 2cents: 2.5G isn't so widely adopted, especially if you are looking for larger port count and this also applies for PC/clients NICs. Yes some ppl have WAN connection of 1GB+ or Wifi6 - however I have yet to see a wifi connection IRL that gets 100MB/s saturating a 1GB copper links behind the AP. Thing is that for 99,5% of applications 1GB is still plenty enough - so I would get a switch with enough 1Gb ports as you need and for the "faster ports" (PC and NAS) just go for 10GB ports in the necessary number - as long as your wiring can do 10GB you have plenty of time to get a new switch in 5 or 10 years when demand really is there.

OK, 1 hour of no power solved the issue - it is working again

Hello everyone Yesterday I noticed that my 2 Chime doorbells stopped working. When I checked the status via HE it said "device busy" - well I waited another day and still the same so I removed power on one of them - still the same, no luck. Then I entered the IP in my web browser it only shows "503 - Upgrading firmware now. Please try again later after firmware upgrade is done. " Any idea how to revive that thing? - first my T3 touchpads are stuck in a bootloop fater "some update" and now the Chimes, that kinda "not so nice"

Do the new "core" model have more RAM?

Hi I just noticed that the 2 lights I have and are connected to my WeMos are just V1 proxies drivers so the lights do not show up in the V2 Light-Agent. Question: Is there a driver to setup an outlet light via a WeMo with a V2 proxy ? thx

Nice, the Ea3 is slow and I can skip the Ea5 then Hopefully europeans get some love and gear but I doubt it... aaand Zigbee 3 would be nice.

ah, ok. well that didn't seem to go as planned then...

wow that is really weird. I had the same issue in 1 of my T3. Stuck in a bootloop fpr a day now. If inally had the time to factory reset it and now it is backup up and running - the last system update was months ago, I have no idea why any issues should just pop up...

Hi My main idea was to use it as notifications - washing machine, dryer is finished on the wall tablets - so anyone walking around know that tis done and one can proceed to the next step. This is what goes wrong most of the times, someone turn on the washing machine, goes to do other stuff and forgets about it..... . Even when I use an App I only see it on the phone screen and its just the persons who have the app Also starting the dryer via a schedule would be something I would look into.

Hi Thx for all of your replies. Yea market is relatively limited for that I admit as the Andoid/IOs app does provide the basic functions.

Hi Does anyone know if Miele appliances can be integrated into Control4? Miele does provide an API: https://www.miele.com/developer/

very nice, thx a lot

Is there a part number to look for to fins a matching LCD?

Nice, this is the 3rd or 4th lighting "generation" for NA - yeah great tech, looks good and I'm sure works really well. Meanwhile in Europe Control4 is present for about 8 years and hasn't even managed to provide a single generation of its light switches that actually fit customers expectations and blends into the designs over here - with such a great product, technology wise, this really is an epic fail. I have talked to numerous Control4 dealers and 2 Control4 employees over the last 3 years and all of them admit that their own lighting products "just don't sell" - the reason is simple and very easily solvable: Control4 face plates, which are necessary as you can't use other key-caps, do not fit to any design sold over here (plugs etc). Also the faceplates are only available in 1 or 2 gang option even though as much as 5 gang is common. All it needs are keycaps and a trim ring compatible to the standard face-plates measurements (55 or 50mm) and all of a sudden control4 lighting products are compatible to numerous design lines of face-plates The solution is so simple that I guess I have to buy a different HA system when I renovate my place in the next year or two.... PS: and no, the puck switch is not an option as it just doesn't fit into any regular sized box, just too big with cables and all

my T3s seem to be a lot less laggy since 3.2.2 - but they still are slow when changing rooms/favs

Which ones are flush mount? All models I can find are to be plugged into an existing socket. The only switchable in will solution I have seen is using KNX and I believe there is also an EnOcean based model

Hi I have 2 quesrions: Can I force the VDB to use 5ghz WiFi? - I have 2 units and one switches ith 5ghz, the other one stays at 2.4ghz even though 5ghz reception is good in that location. I just wanted to check the video on my TV which is hooked up my EA3 and noticed that it won't display the VDB video as it's 1600x1200 - the controller is 720p only. So far so logical but why the heck does the VDB not allow 720p??? - the next resolution below 1600x1200 is 1024x768 which I find is kinda ridiculous considering the VDB is a C4 product but still they aren't able to offer a uniform, 720p resolution to be distributed between their own product range!

You answer is the response from a typical Apple shill, completely ignoring facts. Instead of at least showing me that other manufacturers have as many issues with class action lawsuits and also saying to their customers "ur holding/using it wrong" you say I am biased, I would say your bias esceeds mine by a lot! BTT: What do your customers complain about what they are missing that u switch them from C4 to Savant?

Did I say that Control4's HW is better? - I didn't. But seriously if u think Apple makes good HW than you are walking blind folded through life - they literally have one class action law suit after another devices failing one after another because of the same mistakes in different generations.. just the ones I remember from the back of my head: Your holding it wrong Improper cables in notebooks causing short circuits Apple new butterfly keyboard where small particles made typing impossible - first they said there is no issue then Apple said you are using it in the wrong environment, then they offered exchanges for the keyboard in hundreds of dollars and then after milking their customers and telling them their are all dumb and "using the keyboard wrong" they stop making that specific design.... Uhhhfff.... Graphics issues in Notebooks IPhone throttling 2020 2021 Notebook cases that are advertised as "1 pice aluminum" but in reality are 2 glued parts where the CPU exhaust air from the CPU blows hot air against the glue that it dissolves and the case Fels apart - that is so horrifically dumd as a design it really hurts. Every 2nd grader knows better... Bendgate And the list goes on and on..... I can't even find as many class action lawsuits from Lenovo, HP and Dell together in the last ten 10 years simply due to the fact that their products are designed much better. On top of that they milk every penny out of you their customers by quoting repair prices which are in no relation to the service they offer, remove features u need like USB ports to sell you overpriced hubs and make 3rd party hubs inoperable - but the 3rd party hubs work on all other 99,9% of HW..... Introducing a security chip so that one can't even repair a LED screen or on/off button - no one would by a car from GM or BMW if you can only get new tires and brakes or wipers at a BMW dealership Buying Apple is like getting taken hostage and getting the Stockholm syndrome - you suddenly love the good looking baddy that just started to make your life hell

Well just from a technical point of view it is correct that savants controllers are much more powerful than the ones from Control4 - since Apple doesn't have a good track record when it comes to quality of their hardware and customer service (GPU issues, flexing cases etc.. "your holding it wrong" .), so using Apple is not directly an indication of high quality HW....
