I've tried all the above and am still having trouble getting the devices to stay online. My dealer has looked into to this as well without success.  Any further suggestions?

Amazing Driver!  I have a few devices connected to a CardAcess Heavy Duty Power Controller (pool pump, outdoor lights etc), is there anyway to get these discovered?

I bought your hardware...what needs to happen to get this setup?

Do they function as basic switches? What I can do depends on how the drivers function. Worst case, you could install a generic switch driver and use programming to link the hardware states. 

 

Yes they function as basic switches

impressive!

Prior to moving to control4 in 2010 my previous automation system had that type of functionality with the 777ES.  I just dont use the DVD changers much anymore

Unfortunately the Flash based touchscreens do not come up with the dashboard (little bar on the bottom which shows play,pause,stop,skip).  This isn't something we can resolve as its fully controlled internally on Control4's firmware.  You should see the dashboard come up on IOS/Android/T3 based navigators though.

The Plex Control proxy is designed to be used with touchscreens and is used exactly how you are using it.

Alan, the driver looks really nice.  Unfortunately my T3 TS does not offer transport controls when a movie is played either.  Without control of the movie this will be a frustration for anyone but educated users and unfortunately my family has been frustrated with work arounds in the past.

One last question:  I have 2 users under my Plex account called Kids and Parents, with the Kids movie database being limited.  I also have created a separate driver instance for each client Roku Kids and Roku Parents.  How do I assign a unique plex user to each library?  When I use the driver fields no additional users are seen, when I use the switch user tab within the library no additional user as seen as well.  When I use the inherent plex app on the roku I can view both users.

After launching a movie, the IE touch screens have no control over the movie unless I back out and choose the control function.  Is this the intended function, or should I immediately be able to control the media after launch?

Do I need a separate Driver for each client?

Thanks Alan and Johann.

How do I bind multiple clients to the Roku passthrough (or cycle to the next client to make the binding)?

Just so I het this straight how would I bind a roku that is currently bound to input 10 on my HDMI switch?  WOuld I bind the roku passthrough HDMI to my roku unit then the Plex Driver DMI output to input 10 on the switch:

Roku--->Plex Driver------>Matrix Switch

How does this work with a matrix switch.  I downloaded the documentation and would like to know how this might work in my situation as follows  I have a 16x16 matrix switch and 4 different plex clients (2 rokus and 2 TiVo units).  It looks like just a single client can be set up and requires binding to a specific TV.  How is this done when using a centralized matrix solution?

John, I think the point is that the marketplace perceive these as shortcomings in design and implementation, not as misinterpretations of intended purpose.

BINGO

I have mobotix cameras as well and would love to get audio as well

Anyway to upgrade my recluse version to this without a full repurchase?

I just ordered several nest protect units in order to get alerts if a fire every occurs. I'll just return them if they don't send real time fire alerts within control 4. Ryan is this possibly just an error with the driver?

I'll take the sensor bridge

Alan, this is fantastic. Any chance of adding a "severe weather alert" feature whereby we can select the alerts to announce (for me Severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings)? One caveat is that it would need to poll every four minutes (radar update frequency in the US)

Id love a tornado warning alert

Any upgrade path from your previous tts driver?

The few vocal end users that care have been offering suggestions on innovation we would like to see.  I like the product and am heavily invested in the eco system.  If I was starting today however, I would be willing to wait to see how the apple presence in HA plays out before making any immediate decisions.  Innovation that can be seen by the end user within C4 has been lacking for several years now.

^ My 2 cents? Well, Control4 should have done something like this years ago... 

 

In many ways, they were way ahead of Apple and the HA field in general. Way ahead and dynamic.....

 

Their wonderful platform has had this capability and similar potential for ages...

 

But they locked distribution down. And have relied too heavily and too long on pretty much entire third party driver development... that is basically dealer based. And dealers think and have different interests from end users. So there becomes a kind of "disconnect". Seems to me, there should be way more end user focused in-house R&D. A while back, in my opinion, they made a *huge* error in judgement going with Flash. So the product continues to suffer.....

 

Development and innovation seems to have ground to a hault, and alas the product from a long time users perspective seems tired and boring even.... 

 

It's not that I don't still love this product, I do. It's great. It just seems stagnant. Maybe stagnant is good in HA once in a while... I don't know... 

 

But it's not like others as well around here haven't been telling them these sorts of things.

 

We have been trying to give them a "heads up" on this for quite some time.....

 

 

 

 

Very well said....I agree 100%.

I was having similar problems, but EV has already released an update that solves this problem. Have your dealer look for the updated version.

Well this is awesome news!!! The only question I have is: will an existing MyMovies database that has been manually maintained alongside my Control4 database be automatically merged or do I need to erase the Control4 database and allow it to import the entire existing Mymovies database 1st?

Does this require the extravegetables Dune driver or can it work with certified DD driver as well?
