They only way I known to use Aqara is to setup home assistant and connect to C4

Who can I ask about the intricacy of mockupancy if no answers in the forums? My installer doesn't know. 

@alanchow How does this compare to the Aqara FP2? https://youtu.be/YPLpBSzpjVk?si=oEfMTuxQhyKCVHE9

Can the Athom handle multiple zone detection? 

Any ideas?

One other side note: When disarming the alarm with the C4 app it disarms after the first attempt with the code; when using a T3 it can taking entering the code 4 or 5 times before the alarm is disarmed. Obviously using the alarm panel itself works after the first attempt. 

Any ideas?

I have Mockupancy setup to manually start playback with arming alarm and stopping with alarm disarm. I did not tie mokupancy into the alarm at the driver level as I do not want it to record every time the alarm is disarmed. 

Couple issues I've run into.

1. I setup push notifications to notify me when playback has started. However there isn't an option to program when playback has stopped. 

2. If we disarm the alarm using the alarm key panel the stop playback isn't firing. Only when alarm is disarmed using a t3 or phone app does it work properly. 

Just to clarify the programming- during the dates Jan 6th to 13th, April 6th to 13th... we don't allow mockupancy to playback with alarm arm as these are the recording weeks (based on season change)

My Alarm panel is GE Networx Nx-8E & NX-4V2

Any ideas?

Does anyone know if C4 would consider releasing the C4 app to be compatible with Android Auto and/or Apple Carplay

@Darin, PM C4 CX Platform

I would definitely use it

I need a 200ft run. Does bullet train fiber support that?

I'd start by checking to see if the laser is visible through the cable (don't stare at it). And replace HDMI.. Most of the time its the HDMI honestly. Sometimes the HDMI also isn't the full way in the port (or the fiber isn't)

 

Take a look at Blustream otherwise.. https://www.blustream.com.au/hdmi-over-fibre-fve4k-kit

It's a straight om3 cable at 200ft thru conduit. Fibercommand has proprietary connectors for HDMI.  This cable should be future proofed just based on the om3 alone. No extendors being used.

Are you on Roku?  I've noticed when Roku switches to HDR it will lose picture for a few seconds before it shows again.   The same happens on Shield but its much faster. 

Roku, shield,Nvr. All being pushed thru my AVR. It was working fine and now no video signal. 

 I've recently been using fibercommand HDMI over fiber and all of a sudden there is no video. Not sure if it's a cable issue. What other HDMI over fiber or optical HDMI brands are recommended

Is the driver able to show both camera views and relevant PTZ controls for a Hikvision TandemVu PTZ?

Would like to know as well?

for your generator look up a project call Genmon. That what I use to monitor mine and best of all it’s free. 

Thanks for this...looks awesome. I wonder if there is a way to pull into C4

Hoppe did one with c4 years ago

https://www.remotecentral.com/cgi-bin/forums/viewpost.cgi?1328279

I think this is the only way...$$$$$ though

It's 2024 - any updates for a c4 multi-point lock?

Do we need to do anything on our end? Logout and re-login? 

The issue is if we come but leave again. Yale codes won't help with that. Is there reliable C4 geofencing for android apps?

for your multiple permutations, just use an alarm T/F variable...i had construction at my house, each contractor had their own code, and I never had issues with them coming and going.

but how would I change owner home to false in the case that we come home after housekeeper (she disarmed the alarm) so owner home set to true (so it will not rearm on housekeeper exit- assumes we stay home) but we leave again before housekeeper (so her exit will not rearm but we want it to)

I have found some flaws in my logic

1. We have the autolock set up 1 min so no one uses the keypad to lock the door when they leave so @eggzlot idea won't work

I'm having a hard time trying to type what I am thinking. Basically it is possible that we return home (using garage or side door) and dog walker/housekeeper  doesn't realize it. As dog unlocking front door has already disarmed the alarm the alarm status gets flipped back to true in order to rearm once they press the exit button. They press exit and we are in the bathroom and alarm is rearmed but we are home. Then I thought about using another variable owner home that gets flipped to true when we unlock any of our yale locks. But this will also fail if we come home but then leave again before the dog/housekeeper exits (especially important for house cleaner as she is in our home for 6 hours). If no one else is home then we would want the alarm to arm but it won't as  yale owner home variable recorded us coming home earlier. We have no way to tell C4 that we have left -  cannot rely on family pressing a keypad button to change occupied status. We are android so cannot use and apple geofencing homekit stuff. I could get an instance of HA running on my unraid server it there is some kid of occupancy tracking for android in it? 

what if we have a contractor in the house -

           contractor code disarms alarm and  leaves before house keeper exits (ok as status is Alarm true  (contactor will get same variable programming as dog) and when house keeper exits - alarm will arm;

           but if housekeeper leaves before contractor but again doesn't realize they are still here then her exit press will arm alarm and contractor will set off motion. 

Wife says I have to think of all combinations/permutations in order to program this

RIght now I have it setup that if the dog walker unlocks the yale front door then the alarm is disarmed. I'm trying to figure out a way when they leave to rearm the alarm. Cavets - our house is big enough in that they might not know we are home and don't want the system rearming.

I was thinking about a true/false variables 

when Alarm disarmed

      set alarm to false

When Alarm arm stay

      set alarm to true

When Alarm arm away

     set alarm to true

#dog unlocks front door and alarm armed#

yale front door unlock equals dog

          if alarm = true

                 disarm alarm (which will set alarm variable to false - temporarily see below)

                 set dog to true

                 set alarm to true (as we wanted to save the previous state before the door was unlocked)

         if alarm = false (we are home or house was not armed)

                 end

#dog presses exit button on keypad#

        if dog is true and alarm is true

                 arm alarm away

                 set dog to false (ie dog walker has left)

This is reliant on the dog walker pressing the exit button when leaving after picking up the dog and pressing it again when dropping off the dog

Anyone see an issue with this (I recognize the issue of saving an alarm disarm code in composer)

Does the mockupancy driver respect time? Planning to turn on playback when house armed to away. If we leave at midnight for a flight - will it starting turning on the lights in the middle of the night or will it respect the recording and only start at 7am?

The C4 zigbee module works for this lock. I have it installed and working

DRIVER REWRITE

Chowmain launches new Hikvision driver suite for Control4. Beginning with O.S. 3.4.0, camera drivers have the ability to distribute audio to devices running Navigator. Our newly written Hikvision IP camera driver implements this for cameras with microphones.

 

Hi @alanchow does the current driver auto update to this new driver. Is it for both the NVR and IP cameras?

The Zigbee Yale Smart Locks driver in the database looks like it was actually written by ASSA ABLOY / Yale themselves, and not by Control4.  So I think it is 100% on Yale to update this driver.

  <copyright>Copyright 2021 ASSA ABLOY. All rights reserved.</copyright>

I wonder who we can contact at control4 to request this from Yale. I have 9 of the old Yale locks and 1 new assure2 touch. It is heads and tails above the old locks. Now with fingerprint entry - if officially supported I wouldn't doubt that it becomes the most popular C4 lock. My family loves it. 

I just got my assure2 touch installed using the c4 module. Everything works great except lock does not push any info when fingerprint is used to unlock. When setting up the lock it asked whether yale or 3rd part to manage the pin users and it works as normal with the c4 driver. My installer told me that we need yale & c4 to talk to build the fingerprint functionality into the c4 driver. Who do we talk to for that?
