The sr260 eats batteries compared to the sr250.  Any fixes for that?

What's confusing me is the comment made that says you can use the generic Amazon Fire TV drivers created by Control4. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but I was reading this to mean the Universal drivers. If that's not the case, which drivers are commonly referred to as the Amazon Fire TV drivers?

I probably just added the wrong drivers. They obviously won't allow connections because of the category differences that I described in my previous post. 

 

I'm trying to figure this out as well.  I think he is referring to the older deprecated FireTV drivers that are no longer in the C4 database.  The newer universal are not compatible is my understanding.  Does anyone have a copy of the older drivers?

Can anyone help me find the URL for the following apps on the NVIDIA Shield.  I tried figuring out logcat etc but dont own an android phone and cant't find basic instructions.

1) HDHomerun (the existing url no longer is launching)

2) TinyCam (the one listed previously in the forum is broken)

3) DirectTV Now (this is the Amazon FireTV version sideloaded on the NVIDIA Shield)

I just installed your IRUSB driver for 3 new shields.  SO far it looks great!  How do I add mini drivers for DriectNow (I was able to side load this app from the Amazon fire store onto the shield) and TinyCam Pro?  I can seem to find a universal mini app driver I can modify.  Where is the custom mini app driver I see mentioned?  Where do I find the address for Directv Now?

THanks!

Id love to beta....I have 3 different models

Hey everyone!  I just published version 1.1.16 of the homebridge plugin.  For those of you "doing it yourself", please make sure to upgrade the plugin version installed on your units.  For those of you with my OS licenses or hardware appliances, the web portal on your units will soon show you the available update.  Please make sure to install it.  I believe this update should correct *all* issues with errant status being reported as well as occasional issues where a command from HomeKit isn't processed.  

Thanks!  This is my favorite driver.  I appreciate your hard work.

Does the update fix the recent issues where errant status is reported?

I like the concept of Buoy BUT the $17.99 per month subscription?! WOW!  

I bought the unit without requiring a subscription.  I’m sure if you call they will allow the $800price with no subscription cost.

The Buoy has been amazing,  it measure water use by device ( shower , sink , toilet, hose etc) and has auto shutoff and can turn back on via app.

Sounds crazy cool

Buoy can detect the difference between a toilet flush and the sink running.  You could make an announcement if someone fails to wash their hands after flushing if there was a driver

Has this project been abandoned?

I just had an amazing new whole home water shutoff and water meter installed last week.  It called a buoy https://www.buoy.ai/

The unit installs at the main incoming line and is able to categorize water usage (toliet, sink, irrigation, shower etc) and send alerts if it detects a leak.  You can then shut off the water using your phone app.  I thought it would be really cool if we could get a control4 driver to make announcements or trigger events based off of water usage.  Also adding water detectors would add an additional layer of protection.

Great!  Looking forward to trying it out.  How have you been using the dash buttons?  Did you ever find a printable template to relabel the buttons?

Any progress on the amazon dash buttons?

Thanks Alan

I just downloaded this driver as well as the notification suite.  Does anyone want to help me out with figuring out how to make an announcement when my LG washer finishes its cycle?  I don't understand this whole webhook business.  Whats the best approach, using webhooks or pushover?

It got temporarily put on hold while my day job kicks my butt.  I have the actual integration 100% working on my unit at home.  I need to finish the "upgrade and installation" process so that it works seamlessly in the current web configuration portal.  It's up high on my todo list when I get to have my own time to work on my stuff again.

Thanks for the update....I'm excited

Any updates on the Amazon dash button integration?

I'd love an update on the Amazon Dash Button integration as well

so with no basis of comparison, i don't know how you come to a conclusion that is based on fact.  It's your opinion....

It is exactly my opinion.  You get upset too easily.  We are allowed to discuss our opinions here. You are permitted to have your opinion with rainbow glasses if you desire.  You obviously disagree with my opinion and that's fine.

based on what comparison? 

Im not basing this off any comparison.  Control4 has been fairly stagnant in innovation the last several years in both hardware and software.  They had a history of industry innovation previously.  It hasn't yet cost them much market share, but I fear that if another company starts to innovate C4 will suffer.  Maybe I'm wrong and there will be big announcements at Cedia.

Seems like C4 has been very slow in the software innovation side.

Your driver is amazing!

I disabled and re-enabled the c4 skill and the devices still show offline but do however now respond appropriately.  I'll let you know if they become unresponsive.

could you give us further details on what was the issue?
