  1. Have something similar to @Neo1738 can get very creative with this. I have a doorbird as well. I have noticed that I'm trying to jump to the feed on 6 TV and 6 TS. Rarely does it fully work. I'd say a third to half the displays just demonstrate a "thinking circle". The others show the camera. Not sure how to fix this. Maybe upgrading from ea5 to ca-10?? Also thinking of upgrading to a wired chime. Maybe that will improve as doorbird does have limitations on the number of displays that can see the feed I have ea1 at all screens. I just got a spare jap transmitter. I have a hikvison NVR with the special c4 firmware and standard driver I believe. I wonder if I hook up the jap to the HDMI output, will I be able to programmatically get the NVR to jump to the camera I want. Ie bypass the ea1 so I can get a higher resolution feed on the tv. Not sure if possible to get a better feed on the TS?
  2. does something like https://www.2nusa.com/en_US/products/intercoms/2n-helios-ip-verso/touch-keypad require a separate 2n controller or does the c4 driver let it act as a simple keypad??
  3. Was hoping for something simple like a Yale keypad with no dead bolt
  4. Unfortunately this would not work. I need something I can install in the external cladding beside the door to replace the old school manufactuter keypad
  5. Looking to swap out my external garage door opener keypad with something c4 compatible. Need: Wall mountable, battery operated, water resistant/proof Idea is to use separate codes for each door, but also trigger other programming if other codes entered. Eventhough I have no August locks, can their keypad be used for general access control?
  6. You need to consult for my installer. Are you based in Canada?
  7. Yes I have Cisco #1 via sfp+ to cisco#2. Then both Cisco #2 and #3 into router via sfp+.
  8. All three Cisco switches are L3 capable but only operating as simple switches. No vlans, qos, etc. I could be wrong but it's my understanding that the intranet traffic will pass thru the router. Ie ea5 to Cisco switch#1 to router to Cisco jap switch and NOT ea5 to cisco switch #1 to cisco jap switch.
  9. I currently have a Mikrotik router https://mikrotik.com/product/CCR1036-8G-2SplusEM and 1 gig internet service. My router does my switching and handles a VPN connection with a dedicated computer and ethernet cable. It has 2 SFP+ ports and 8 x 1 gig ethernet ports. I have 3 cisco switches - 10Gbase-T and POE - all with SFP+ connections between them. One is for my JAP install and the rest are for the network. They connect to each other then to the router. I was looking to offload the switching from my router to a Top-of-rack switch and have all SFP+ interconnected network. I would connect all my cisco switches via SFP+ to this new switch. I also want to upgrade my ruckus three R710 to R850. I've found two different poe++ Nbase-T small switches to use for them. Both have sfp+ as well for connecting to the top-of-rack switch. Yes this is overkill but I love this stuff. I have a minilab with two computers that have dual port SFP+ cards - one port on each is used as a direct connect between them. I would use the other port on main server to connect to the new switch and the other port on the second computer to connect to the second SFP+ router port for the VPN connection. This second computer doesn't need access to my network..ideally it is firewalled off the main network. I know C4 doesn't like managed switches. I decided against VLANs to avoid complicating things. I'm looking to maximize switching speeds and reduce network hops. I've found: https://mikrotik.com/product/crs326_24s_2q_rm - 24 sfp+ and 2 qsfp+ https://www.fs.com/products/108710.html - 20 SFP+, 4 x SFP28 and 2 qsfp+ I need switches that have a GUI as I cannot program CLI. I guess two questions - 1. Will a network like this cause any headaches with C4 2. Anyone tackle a project like this?
  10. This is what I have in all my rooms https://www.supplyhouse.com/Tekmar-084-Indoor-Sensor-Flush-Mount-7953000-p Allows my zoned carrier system and zones tekmar system to get accurate temps
  11. If android - delete cache, delete app data, open app and setup as new again. I fought no push for 6 months before I figured this simple fix out
  12. Fixed - so when you uninstall an android app, the data remain. Messing around with deleting cache and c4 app data WORKED! It didn't delete the c4 app, I just launched and I saw a first time use screen I hadn't seen with all my other uninstalling of the app. Plugged in my account info and bang - working push.
  13. one thing I have learned - if I open the door, the alarm panel shows not ready BUT my C4 touchscreen says READY and also shows the zones icon with a "1" above it which states there is a zone in error. Shouldn't C4 recognize this state as Not ready to arm??? It's not a concord - its a NV-8E
  14. Control4 properties say firmware 5.38 No other info How do I enter the menu on alarm keypad? I tried 9 then master code then 010 but it just armed the system The outside covers of the equipment say NV-8E and Networx NX-4V2
  15. How do I find this out? In c4 or at the alarm panel?
  16. this thing is killing me This is my baseline panel screen This is the screen with an open zone I have to press the down arrow in order to see this Even when the door is held open and I attempt to arm - I get a display text "system ready, type code to arm" from my email notification. The alarm screen is "system not ready for help, press ->" This makes it seem like C4 is not pulling the right text??
  17. Here is what I setup with email Trouble Type ${Security->Security::TROUBLE_TYPE} Last Arm Failed ${Security->House Security::LAST_ARM_FAILED} Trouble text ${Security->House Security::TROUBLE_TEXT} Open zone count ${Security->House Security::OPEN_ZONE_COUNT} Display text ${Security->House Security::DISPLAY_TEXT} Partion1 last user ${Security->Security::PARTITION1_LAST_USER} Partition State ${Security->House Security::PARTITION_STATE} This was the output: Trouble Type Last Arm Failed Bypass Trouble text Open zone count 1 Display text System Ready Type code to arm Partion1 last user UNKNOWN Partition State DISARMED_READY This event happened at : 3/19/2021 1:47 PM EDT So you will see nothing displays for trouble type, last arm failed, trouble text. Open zone count is 1 which is correct. Display text is "System Ready Type code to arm" which makes no sense unless the alarm panel clears the error before C4 and pull?
  18. Partition 1 is called "house security". That is the only partition that I am using to program the notification. Has anyone been able to pull the zone in error from the alarm panel. Having a single if zone failed (variable) then push text "$variable zone is open" makes more sense. I understand that I could have 42 if statements (one for each window) but that seems like a lot of wasted programming. Also, I'd be concerned that the alarm panel itself will clear the error prior to all 42 if statements being evaluated at run-time.
  19. @Cyknight Any suggestions - I think I have 8 partitions due to the size of my system? Each window is a separate sensor. I thought I followed your suggestion for programming. Can you lead me to where I errored?
  20. The notification gets pushed. All are blank except count number which is 1. Never tested with two zones in fault
  21. @cjh Any chance you can post or send me a screenshot of some programing examples? Thanks
  22. Follow up I have 8 partitions in my system. This is the programming that I have done but doesn't work Do I need to include the trouble text and display text for each partition zone? @Cyknight
  23. so update my old blackberry motion on android 10 gets push notifications Both my wife and I have Samsung s20+'s and neither work. Anyone else with a Samsung s20 that has push notifications working?
