  1. Could you use a dummy light switch (for instance named Apple Music Light) to trigger programming in Control4 to turn on a Control 4 listen device? siri - “turn on Apple Music light” C4 programming: when light level changes: if load is on - select audio device - Apple TV; if load is off - turn the room off
  2. I noticed I can no longer discover new devices with the epic Alexa driver. Is it still required to have a generation 1 Alexa device in order to have new devices discovered?
  3. Currently I use an Apple TV connected to my audio matrix to play Apple Music. I can use Siri on my phone to select what Apple Music content to play BUT I have to use a touchscreen or the control4 app to select “kitchen listen Apple TV”. With your driver, are you able to select a music source in control4 with siri?
  4. I have NetplayTV 3.0.4 on an Amazon fire stick 4K. How do I update it to 4.0? Thx
  5. If I were to change to the Sonos port would I lose Alexa voice control? Would I be limited to playing playlists in Sonos (would prefer not to have to pull out my phone to use the Sonos app)?
  6. I am using alexa to play apple music through an echo dot which is connected to my C4 audio matrix. Is there a way to see what's playing (ie. song & artist) on a T3 touchscreen. Right now it just shows echo dot playing but there is no media info. Thx
  7. Agree, shairbridge much simpler, but i would like the option to use Siri to select music which requires Airplay 2.
  8. I assume if I were to connect VSSL A.1 to my C4 audio matrix or EA5, I would need to use the C4 app or a touchscreen to select the VSSL as the listening source in the room I am before airplay2 from phone? Is there anyway to automate this so it would work like Shairbridge (ie. have multiple instances of the VSSL Driver in the rooms where I have audio so on my phone I would see VSSL kitchen, VSSL outdoor, etc - i select which one to airplay2 to & that room auto-ons)? thx
  9. I believe Apple TV+, NBA, and Disney are all available as apps on Sony android tv’s
  10. What are you using the Apple TV for? Your Sony TV has android so you have most apps (Netflix, Amazon, Apple TV) In the TV already and can play any 4K content that is available.
  11. Who are the decent manufacturers?
  12. Hey “mgrober”. I’m in a similar situation to you. My house was built in 2009. A component video matrix was installed along with two rg6 and two cat5e to each tv/media location. I’ve thought about trying to upgrade but I’m skeptic as to whether 4K over cat5e will work reliably. i have a large control4 install with EA5 as controller (6 tv and 16 zones of audio, tonnes of dimmers/keypads). in our two media rooms where we watch the majority of our television, I’ve upgraded to sony android 4K TVs. These rooms have 5.1 audio. Apart from sports, we watch most of our content on Netflix or Amazon prime so we see programming in HDR and some 4K with 5.1 audio (tv optical out to 5.1 receiver). for the other TVs in the house i wonder if it would be cheaper/simpler to replace them with sony 4k android TVs and local cable boxes with audio through local soundbars rather than trying to go HDMI matrix or video over IP. Let me know what you ultimately choose and how it works out.
  13. Thx for the update. Have been waiting a while for this.
  14. The snapshot for the Hik turbo DVR is: http://ipaddress:80/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/101/picture 101 will get the main stream; 102 will get the substream the first number is the channel, the second number is the stream (01 main, 02 sub)
  15. I will be upgrading my system from 2.10.6 to OS3. I have a sonos connect which we use for apple music. I have been on the old extra-vegetables sonos driver (7.5.7) forever and it works fine for what we need (using a touchscreen or the phone app; I can start a favorites playlist, scroll through the queue and play individual tracks, shuffle, skip back, skip next, clear the queue). My dealer tells me that this driver may cause problems or have limited functionality in OS3. I understand there is a Sonos certified driver (version 95) now. Does it have the same functionality as what I use now or are there more limitations (ie. can I do everything that is in the brackets above). Thx in advance.
