So, I have a few ATVs in my system and sometimes the ATV will only respond to commands from the SR260, but won't respond from the NEO, TS, or APP.  Anyone else have this issue?  I can grab a SR260 switch rooms and control ATV no problem, but none of my other devices will work.

Clarifying question : please define what is offline?

are you saying if connectivity is offline it asks you additional questions?

 

generally it won’t respond with questions to voice commands. The dealer will configure it so when you say “watch movie” it will close the shades, dim the lights, etc 

No, I mean it doesn't require an internet connection.  Thats not a deal breaker though.

Josh is an input command system, but will perform different actions based on status of devices, time, weather.

Your Goodmorning, could open the doors if the temp is in range and sunny, but Josh won't ask for a confirmation.
Or Josh can start the movie, and if it's day, lower the shades, but if it's night leave them open, etc.

Also, you said button. Josh primary input is voice (or it's app), but you can send it commands from Control4 to match scenes in Josh that you've set up, and Control4 can receive commands from Josh through the Josh driver, 999 trigger inputs.

I mean, can I invoke it from a button press.  Clearly it is a one way system, you tell it what you want it to do.  I just wish someone would come up with a good voice pod replacement.

I am looking to replace my voice pods, but what is keeping me with VP, is it offline and it will ask me question and I can answer and then it will react.  Example, when I hit good morning button, if the temp is within a specific range, VP will announce the outside temp on my patio and ask if I want to open the back door, if I say "yes" it will open the back door.  Or if I hit watch movie in my living room, VP will ask if I want to close shading...etc.

You would need this adapter:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0039QEOBS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_QFEX92VFRF7T6JNTJAQS

I’ve had it for so many years, I forgot how expensive it is. Maybe you can find a used one on eBay. Basically your C4 controller talks to this over relatively short RS232 connection, then the Jandy adapter talks to your Aqualink via some proprietary serial bus, which can be much longer (mine is probably 75’). You could probably use your existing CAT6. 

I have one of those, which driver are you using?

very nice!  Is this an after market kit, or did you home grow it?

Ok, worst case I update my controller.  My goal here is to update my RV lighting with RGBW and some relays to control a few other things, it looks like Shelly is the way to go, since it runs on 12v. Ordered some RGBW2's and some relays 1ULs.

Will this work on 2.10.6?

Stop using the sleep setting already....

Oh and usually cancel will wake it up

Didn't know about the sleep setting.  Will give that a shot.

I can't seem to get the power on command to work.  I hit watch appletv and it flashes the IR bug, but won't turn on the appletv.  If I use the apple remote to turn it on, everything else works through C4.  Anyone else have this issue?

Are you sending HTTP commands to the PI or directly to the Falcon Boards?

Is there a published list of commands?

I am sending it to the PI running FPP.  Yes, its in the help section in the FPP software.

Thanks - that's a great link. I've spent the last hour reading it. This looks like yet another fun rabbit hole to fall into...

I currently run a RPI with FPP on it and some falcon boards and control it from control4 for my front, back, and inside pixels.  I use http commands to start and stop playlists depending on time of year, special days, etc.

How much of a DIYer are you?

Actually that's not important to me. I rely on OVRC for any real time status, setup etc. From Control4, I primarily want to cycle certain outlets e.g. allowing a client to reboot their rack, modem, router etc conveniently from a touchscreen or Control4 app. I could also do this in OVRC home but some clients only want to learn Control4.

And if you turn it off via OVRC and it doesn't turn back on, or god forbid it trips for some reason, to the client it looks like it is still on.  Horrible one way driver.

That's the driver SDDP installs. I don't care about the LUA errors - it works.

But its not two way.  Log into OVRC and turn off an outlet and tell me if you see its off in C4.

Are you sure you have the credentials right?  With the latest Wattbox and Araknis firmwares with all the changes to password management, you'll want to open a browser to the Wattbox and see if it asks you to change credentials. If so, do that and then use same credentials in the SDDP driver.

Yep, did that and this is the result.  Driver is a POS for sure.

I used the original driver, dated 2016 and even though it says "valid ip address" it is actually connected.  I added relay drivers and bound them and all is working, but it still says "valid ip address" when it should say "got status ok", threw me off for 2 days.  I also have the "no content headers" in the LUA, but it still works correctly. This is only working one way tho

I use VPN and its a lot faster than my Unifi USG-Pro connecting to a USG VPN LPT2. 

perfect!!  Thats what I wanted to hear, I will look into it.

The edge series is basically dead compared to Unifi. Definitely don't get Edge and get Unifi.

This thing is the cats meow and there isn't a better all in one router for the price on the market. If you really wanna big d*ck it then get the Dream Machine Pro. That's basically the best residential router I know of (I am also a Pakedge/Luxul dealer, the Unifi product is just superior in nearly every regard) 

Do you know if this unit is any better on VPN than the other units by Ubiquiti?  I have run into speed issues with VPN on the Ubiquiti products.  I switch my router to mikrotik because of this, but all other network is unifi.

This first thing I'd want to check is the codec/decoders/etc available with InFuse Pro (notice I said Pro, which is a small cost) vs Zappiti. And any limitations on the AppleTV.

For me, I have too have a fairly high end audio set up, though only 5.1, with 4k...  I'm using AppleTV/Plex/Infuse because of the costs and ease to distribute throughout the house, etc...

Decoding should be on a pre-amp, so if formats are supported, they should sound very similar between Infuse and Zappi.

 

 

Thank you for introducing me to infuse, I love it and it it works perfect!!  Plays 3D and all my 4K flawless! Saw some pretty bad review of Zappiti on playback.  I have dune and the playback need some work as well, has pause issues when the disc is playlist garbaled.  Infuse just works, no pausing issues, minimal cost and I actually like the interface, love how it groups like titles,  don't need C4 integration as I have good luck with the Appltv IP driver. The only thing I don't like is I have to switch the AppleTv to 1080P before I play 3D movies.

This has been solved in 3.1.1.  I had the same issue, when I updated to 3.1.1, all is working as expected.

Mine is picking up new movies as I add them.  I am running MyMovies 5.24 with the Collection management driver.  

Yes, I am using the EV collection management driver with MyMovies running on my media server.  It stopped working in 3.0 and was told by TS that it was fixed in 3.1.1.  I upgraded to 3.1.1 and boom, its working correctly.  Switches to the correct source and plays the correct file on my Dune Player.

I had the same issue with My Movies and collection management in 3.0.  I was told it was fixed in 3.1.1, I upgraded to 3.1.1 and boom all works correctly.

I wish there was a way to disable the charge dock sounds and why or why does it need to say charging for so long.  Sometimes I put it on the charger, just to pull it right off and want to use it, but I can't because the charging icon is still there.

I would be surprised if this has any lag as this is just amplifying an analog signal on each of the wires. I haven't used this specific amplifier but I have used a cheaper version which is very similar that is the size of a stick of gum and it didn't have any lags when I was using some special effects Hue apps that simulate lightning, strobes and rapid colour changes - I have strung about 4-5 of these together without any lag.  

I have used these exact ones and trust me, they have lag.
