    On the NEEO, I need the ability to join an existing session. Why is this not here? Is it coming?

    Sessions released in current update, likely see updates starting  tomorrow (default setting Thursdays). I was waiting for Blinds to be added, was nice to finally see that!

    1.34.3 (2020-04-08) Changes since last release:

    Full Session UX support

    Shades integration for Neeo Remote, similar to the SR-260 integration

     Volume Pop-up only appears when you have discrete volume.

    Volume Pop-up can be disabled through Composer

     

    OS3.1.2

    Still looks ugly AF.....

    I just can't wrap my head around ahy Control4 doesn't start supporting Zigbee 3, so many great devices which can't be used.
    Control4 using any Zigbee 3 device would certainly boost zigbee in general and that's needed as ZWave is doing much better

    Agreed long overdue. Wish they had went with a  in wall solution, even if a deeper electrical box was needed.

    How easy (or not) is it to retrofit the motors in blinds.  I have three HD blinds in my MBR that were installed about 13 years ago.  On one of them the motor died so the firm I bought it from took it and put in a new motor.  The new motor is WAY faster than the old one and much quieter.  These are only automated with IR and I only seem able to send move or stop commands, which means that you have to open all the way to close.  Any options on making changes?

    Blinds that are a few feet long are not very difficult to swap out motors; just need to match roll tubes with appropriate motor make, brackets and ring/pinion and drive gear( eg. Somfy tubes for somfy motors). Install blind material 100% squarely onto tube, Pop in assembled unit and done.

    Large blind panels are a bit of a PITA; same process as above but need to counter sink 2-3 screws into each tube, securing the drive gear to it. Keeps the drive gear from possibly spinning.

     

    For IR blinds; Matterlink multi X  ( has 0-100 position slider) or Chowmain added a driver for another brand comes to mind for C4 integration.

    * slick trick for condo/industrial applications: hang multiple blind panels off of one tube/ motor  instead of multiple short ones*

    There is a Control4 driver written for Somfy MyLink, which as I understand is basically a little box that communicates with the shades over their RF protocol and everything else via WiFi - so a gateway of sorts. I bought 2 of the MyLink units, but when they came and installed them they realized the MyLink units weren’t there. So for now I have a Somfy remote, but he will bring over the MyLink units soon - hopefully today or tomorrow. For now, they’re not integrated with C4 yet. 

    Good to hear you pretty much got the blind project done, looks great! 

    Just a thought since not integrated into C4 yet; Check out the domo somfy driver if  you need more control of the blinds besides up, down and favorite positions. The domo driver has a pretty slick 0-100 slider (sure other similar drivers available now too)

    I have the Chowmain TP-Link driver.  I would like to use one of the TP-Link plugs on my Christmas tree.  Is it possible to use an experience button (or something else) that shows a picture of a Christmas tree to turn the plug on and off?  I would then just "favorite" it to a room.  If so, any ideas where I might find a Christmas tree icon/experience button that could be used?

    Is this what you are looking for?
