Steamist does. Steam and normal shower control. There is a driver. Not IFTTT.

Not sure what changed but notifications are working again

Anyone else with the same issue?

I just realized that push notifications have stopped working a few days ago. My dealer came by today and upgraded to the latest OS. My android has C4 app notification as priority so they are supposed to always go thru. My 4sight license is active. Nothing else has changed. These are the notifications programmed in HE and not Alan's suite. I have rebooted my phone...No change. Dealer rebooted controller...no change Any ideas?

@alanchow I'm thinking of changing all of my outdoor soffit pot lights to LB230. However I cannot find anywhere if these can be used outdoors. I have a panelized lighting system with scenes and such setup for my current outdoor pots. Where I would like to implement the colour changing or strobe effect would be on alarm trigger, fire detector, christmas, party mode. I would like to do all of this with programming and not adjusting things on the fly at a touchscreen or using an app. Is this possible with the driver? I actually don't want my family to have access to the touch screen example you have above...I want my current screens to stay the same for simplicity. Is it possible to hide?

Lack of Atmos with first release of most movies in K store. Not quite K's fault as some studios don't allow UHD and full atmos in the K store. Have to wait and pay to upgrade for Atmos...ie pay for the same movie twice (although depending on the studio the amount second purchase amount varies)

So this doesn't need the Sam? I just bought that damn thing. What is a better solution ? Using Sam vs the driver? Which one will work if the internet is down?

Shoot...we have the same issue too!

Hi I hope I can get some help. I have a 18 audio zone with two additional atmos zones in my system. For the distributed audio I have a - C4-16ZAMSv3-B and a C4-AMP10. The amps are set as always on so there is no audio delay. However in zones where is there is no active audio playing, we can hear the speakers hissing. Has my installer screwed up? Is there way to keep an instant on without hissing? Why instant on - we were getting delays of 15 to 20 seconds whenever we chose an audio or video source. I also have a doorbird question but I will ask that separately

You have to contact Hoppe directly. I believe the info is in the pdf. Hoppe and Invixum worked together for this.

Hey Everyone - thanks for the update, I will review and comment

We are in the procurement phase of my large install. I've been reading this forum for years in preparation...I know, get a life right!! I'd like to keep everything away from the cloud. I hope someone can help fill in the blanks or provide experience. I'd love everything to have IP control. I have a synology 715+ NAS with a bunch of backed up Blu-rays. Using JAP for video distribution to 6 TVs. Every room has a in-wall TS along with table top for bar area. HR260 for each TV. 4KUHD - 2 x Oppo 203 (one local fed back to rack via JAP and one rack distributed out) - C4 has a IP driver HTPC/Streaming - required sources - Netflix 4k HDR, Amazon prime 4k HDR, Vudu HDX for ultraviolet; required audio - Atmos if available; Need two of whatever we go with as three adults and child in our home 1. Roku Ultra - has universal search, easy to integrate, only atmos thru Vudu, ethernet. How easy is it to navigate between apps or enter using HR260? Can the C4 app on an ipad/iphone/android or can the TS be used to enter text for searching? 2. HTPC - I have a current 1U rackmounted HTPC - this would need to be upgraded for 4K HDR and HDMI 2.0a/b. No universal search. Control thru USB dongle. Kodi or Plex. 3. Bolt + OTA - I'm in Canada so only the OTA version is useful for me. I cannot find control options/driver using C4? The OTA is not 4k ready ie is not ATSC 3.0. It has Ethernet and universal search. Has all the streaming sources including plex for backups. 4. Kaleidescape - best hardware and polished on screen display, no streaming, no TV shows, not all the studios yet, cannot play backed up sources 5. NVIDA shield - has universal search - ? voice only; has all the sources. I cannot find control options/driver using C4? How easy is it to navigate between apps using HR260? Can the C4 app on an ipad/iphone/android or can the TS be used to enter text for searching? Garage door control - 3 x liftmaster 8500. I think I'm stuck with MyQ and their wireless bridge. I wish I could have this hardwired like my current opener is Generator - I've seen some programming on this site. Looking at Generac 48KWQs or 60kW vs Eaton 45 kW vs Briggs & Stratton 48kW. Anyone have any feedback or tips? Irrigation - want smart watering with ideally ethernet connection 1. Rachio - gen 2- cloud based - would rather not use wifi 2. IrrigationCaddy - hardwired - local control, no smart features 3. Rainmachine - touch hd-12 - wifi only 4. other suggestions? IP Camera and NVR - we will have 12 camera's. 4 to 6 will be Samsung 4k at 30 FPS and the others will be 3 or 4MP 1080P at 30 FPS camera 1. 4k - Samsung PNV-9080R 2. 3MP - Samsung SNV-7084R or Hikvision DS-2CD4535FWD-IZH/DS-2CD4535FWD-IZH8 3. NVR - my installer is not happy with the Hikvision NVR. We are looking for an NVR that we can tie into C4. The cameras will be going into a cisco POE switch. H.265 with 4K support would be great for the main feed security recording and H.264 sub-stream at 1080p or 720p for the C4 TS/onscreen. Samsung has a NVR but it's $7000 CDN. I believe the C4 system can pull the sub-stream independent of the NVR...is this correct? Surge Control & UPS I live in the GTA and Torus power is willing to sell me a AVR2 60BAL direct. However my installer doesn't believe the hype with Torus. I believe Torus allows for IP control and individual power cycling. He installs panamax. I'm looking for undercurrent/overcurrent/surge/etc protection for the rack. Torus is suggesting 240V in and 240V out into a large UPS to allow for all the cisco/ruckus/C4 equipment to be protected. Anyone care to chime in with suggestions? Tripp Lite makes a large battery backup UPS SU6000RT4UTF. Again my installer uses someone else. Door video intercom Why can't C4 license crestron's SIP protocol or further develop their own. Elan has their own which allows real-time video doorstation chats. Doorbird is crippled as there are only two active streams and once one picks up the others cannot join/listen. I've looked at Holovision and mobotix and neither is perfect. It seems invixium NOW also has an intercom system. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Si8h9Lv-4M0 It can trigger an external camera for video and it provides the two way audio. I'd like to know if anyone else has tried this? Will it work with C4 TS? Can all TS participate in a call or just one? Is there external coverage - ie answer from cell as if you were home? They also have added camera's to the TOUCH and new TITAN. I wonder if these will directly integrate?? Landscape lighting I like the DMX controlled coloured lights but my installer has never installed them. He is a dealer for costal source. Bullet proof lights but boring design. Plus we want natural gas powered tiki torches!! Door Locks We may do invixium for our wine cellar. They are joined with Hoppe to do the first C4 controlled multipoint door lock. Very cool but also $$$$ see http://www.us.hoppe.com/media/wysiwyg/PDF/Keyless_Electronic_Multipoint_091614.pdf Rest of the exterior doors will be Baldwin - I wish we could customize the finish to match the rest of our baldwin handelsets. Other cool add-ons Steamist shower control; sump pump alarm alerting, nuheat signature in-flooring heating control, carrier/tekmar control of 3 AC units and 3 Air handlers with full basement hydronic floor heating (upstairs is subdivided in 6 zones for each bedroom and library), It would be great if there was a sticky with recommended equipment. Maybe this can be a start??

I hope this get's finished

Hi Jackstone, I sent you a PM

Thanks for the replies. Finding the hvac zoning equipment that can handle my zoning request is the tough part. I'm thinking of changing to three separate units (3 furnaces and 3 a/c) - one for each floor. The Basement will have a hydronic in floor heating system as well. Tekmar can control the hydronic floor and hvac system on a per room basis (with remote temp sensors and central tsats). Figuring out how it will talk to the zone controller is where I'm stuck. Honeywell seems likely the best zone controller option.

I appreciate the reply. My house will have a whole home generator as a back up in addition to battery backup for HA equipment. My point is how can I accomplish what I need without going thru the cloud.

My concern is that all thermostats will be centrally located in the furnace room. If I'm upstairs and I want to change the temp, I envison using a c4 ts - choose room and climate. C4 has to communicate with the Honeywell redlink system using a houselogix driver which utilizes the cloud. If my internet is down then we would have to go into the basement to change the temp. My wife will NOT approve of this. That being said - how do people control their garage doors using the liftmaster gateway when their Internet is down? Ie in the master bedroom and need to open/close without leaving the room?

Any suggestions? Am I asking for something outside of c4's ability?

Hi As a part of our reno we are going to retrofit a zoning system for the main level and upstairs. We have a 5 tonne unit for central heating and A/C. We will use either tekmar thermostats or the C4 aprilaire stats as they both integrate with c4 without a cloud based solution. We want to avoid wall acne (each bedroom will have a TS already) so we will homerun flush mounted wall temp sensors to the HVAC control panel and have all thermostats in the furnace room. Main level - 4 zones - mudroom/laundry (also has additional nuheat infloor heating); living/dining/music/powder room - all one zone since open concept; kitchen (will have nuheat infloor heating); office Upstairs - 5 zones - each bedroom and ensuite (all have additional infloor nuheat) as it's own zone, landing as a zone Basement - whole new separate system with a zoned hydronic infloor heating controlled by tekmar and a second zoned central A/C. What I would like is a simple system to change climate per zone. Ie minimizing the number of button presses on a c4 TS. I've found three different retrofit zoning systems: http://www.arzelzoning.com/products/dampers/ http://www.retrozone.com/Catalog/retrofit.htm https://forwardthinking.honeywell.com/products/zoning/zoning_products.html My questions to the experts: 1. What system to people currently use for adding in HVAC zoning to C4? The HVAC contractor doesn't know what's compatible with C4 2. I see there is a houselogix driver for the honeywell system but it requires cloud routing. I still want to be able to control my system if the internet isn't working. Any help is greatly appreciated!!
