It's not compatible with the 3.0 app, but it is compatible with 2.10

Will it come to 3.0?  I do have to say I tried it on my 2.10 system before I upgraded today and noticed how much better it was!  Great work!!  Now that I’m in 3.0 it’s not much use, but if it can be ported over I would definitely use it.

Looks like they updated the language on the site to remove “available now”.

Confirmation of what won't work in OS3 (taken from C4 knowledgebase - if not allowed then mods please remove!)

    Life Cycle Changes

To upgrade to OS 3, current control4 systems must be 2.9.0 or higher. 

1.1    Must be Removed & Requires Intervention

If the following items are in the project, the Upgrade Advisor will report them and block the upgrade. Once the offending items are addressed, Upgrade Advisor can be run again. 

• Controllers (1) - HC-250
• Touch Screens (5) - 7" In-Wall v2, 7" Portable v2, 5" In-Wall (FKA: Infinity Edge), 7" In-Wall (FKA: Infinity Edge), 7" In-Wall RevB (FKA: Infinity Edge)
• Door Stations (2) - Exterior Door Station, Interior Door Station
• AV (1) – Speaker Point
• IP Cameras that utilize the Camera proxy v1
• WakeUp agent (the Wakeup/Goodnight agent should be used instead)
• Security systems that utilize V1 Security Drivers
• Blinds that utilize the Blinds v2 proxy

1.2   Limited Functionality
        If the following items are in the project, the Upgrade Advisor will not block the install but instead will provide an informational message.

• iPod proxy – Transport controls (play, skip, pause, etc) are no longer supported in graphical user interfaces for drivers that use the iPod proxy.
• Controller (1) – HC-800 – The HC-800 is supported in OS 3. However, the Flash-based Navigator is discontinued so there is no on-screen display (OSD) for the HC-800. Within Composer, the Upgrade Advisor report will indicate that the HC-800 is supported, but it will not include the OSD. 

1.3    No Longer Supported & No Intervention Required
The following items will either be removed automatically from a project during upgrade (if they exist in a project) or no longer supported. 

• Web Nav Access (2) – WebHTML and WebNav(flashnav)
• Apple Watch
• MyHomePC
• Legacy Audio
• EADev Driver
• Generic Media
• MyHome Drivers – control4_ipad, control4_iphone, control4_android, control4_myhomepc – Remove automatically
• HC Generic Driver
• 4store Agent

No more Apple Watch app?  Maybe native HomeKit support?  

Have to say I’m pretty satisfied with my homebridge driver.

it will be released May 28th - which is smart - you don't want to be upgrading anyone before a holiday weekend!

Ah ok.  Website says “Available now” so was thinking today.

And looks like it’s launching today!  Front page of the website tab c4!!

Details page:

Did they not dial into the earnings call just now? Was hoping to hear what they had to say about snapav acquisition.

maybe this is why:

I have used one in my house - works!  a bit loud and slow but...cheaper than replacing the non-motorized shades.  Haven't tried doing groups of shades yet since I only have one.

Thinking if getting 6 of these to some floor to ceiling shades.  How well do they integrate (eg can I control discrete blind levels, change the shade on the phone app and have it show up in navigator,etc)?  Anyway you could post a vid of them working with c4?

Any chance we can get "read-only" access to dealer forums (even portions of it) ?  

Edited: Just wanted to say that I really appreciate Derrick reaching out to us on this forum - re-assures me as a C4 customer!

Such a tease for the honeywell guys 

So if zigbee is still working then Im good?

It was a lot of fun to take apart! Just wanted to make sure I wouldn't electrocute myself flipping through channels :-)  Thanks for the input!

Hi Everyone,

I had a remote start going bad on me a few months back.  It would basically get caught in an endless reboot cycle where it would start up to "Waiting For Network" for about 2-3 seconds, and then shut down and reset.  I went through all the motions with my dealer doing a Factory Reset key commands and the red 4 + 0 key on start.  Nothing seemed to work  (out of warranty I might add).  This weekend I tried to take it apart for the fun of it, and I was able to get the remote open without breaking anything.  I found what I believe was a broken capacitor that was barely hanging on to the board.  It actually fell when I put the circuit board on the desk.  Anyway, funny thing happened.  When I connected the batteries to the board the remote booted up fine!  I tried to solder the piece back on, but after doing that the same endless reset loop came back.  Prying the part off again made it work find.  Anyway, I sealed it all back up and it tried to test it as best I could (couldn't find anything wrong with it, even the light sensor works).  I do have one question for people that might have knowledge of these units:  Is there a risk to leaving this piece off?  And could someone help identify what the capacitor does?   I have attached pictures to help (or if anything, for people who are curious what these look like when opened up).

Thank you.
