cdepaola reacted to forum in Cost of C4 Install
From a guy who's been in 100's of attics of all shapes and sizes...and adjusted pricing accordingly.
My recommendation is that if you're going to complain at all about what someone is charging you to work in your attic, go up there and do the work yourself.

cdepaola reacted to Joshua Pressnell in Homebridge Driver for HomeKit Support?
FYI, folks, I'm still here. Had to travel to NYC for a business meeting at my day job, so have been out of touch for a couple of days. I'm back now, so will be working to drive the C4 driver over the finish line and get it posted to HouseLogix and will be working to finalize the last couple of glitches in the appliance firmware.

cdepaola reacted to Joshua Pressnell in Homebridge Driver for HomeKit Support?
For those following along at home, the last beta driver is scheduled to expire the day after tomorrow (the 15th). I have put together an updated driver that is functional until April 1. Scary, but arbitrary date. This new version auto-detects the Clipsal drivers that some folks have used for "generic programming". It also should auto-detect a few new dimmers (as dimmers) and locks.
Yes I still need to add thermostats and blinds.
I also updated the driver so that it *will not* output duplicate names during configuration import. This was causing lots of confusion and the appliance to not be detected by HomeKit. I still need to update the firmware in the appliance to disallow duplicates, and your can still manually rename devices to be duplicates, but if you just import the config from the director, any duplicates in Composer will now be auto-renamed with "Device 2", "Device 3", etc.
The latest driver is here -> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13324724/homebridge.c4z

cdepaola reacted to ejn1 in Ubiquiti Cameras with C4?
Yes, but i do have something weird happening where i try to generate a new API code and it does but when I hit save it reverts to prior API code. I'm wondering if I have a gremlin there...

cdepaola reacted to msgreenf in kwikset Kevo driver??
BTW - i did a little research there is no Kevo public API, so any driver would really be a hack

cdepaola reacted to msgreenf in Dahua NVR and C4
Please look at my Amcrest driver, after looking at the API documentation, they are the same camera and my Amcrest driver should work

I haven't heard from too many people who are trying this out yet, but the homebridge-control4 plugin has been installed nearly 200 times. I have been in touch with one person who is successfully using this driver in his project... so far so good.
I have a pre-configured homebridge appliance nearly ready to go on sale. This will be a drop-in network appliance that comes pre-configured with everything needed to get the Homebridge driver running with HomeKit, and which supports a super-easy web-based configuration. Plug it in, enter a few settings, and everything should "just work." It will even auto-import the device configuration from your Control4 system. Here's a little sneak-peek. MSRP for the hardware box will be about $225.

Of course, the vast majority of people haven't invested in that at all

cdepaola reacted to msgreenf in New Free Reboot Driver
Confirmed with HouseLogix this is an actual reboot of the controller.
The Auto Update Driver from HouseLogix will do a director restart if that is desired

cdepaola reacted to Audio Obsessions in Apps for T3 Touchscreen
My bet is that apps will go away altogether, in favor of across the board implementation of html5, with navigator becoming more exposed in driverworks. I don't think this is 2.8, but rather 3.0, and likely 2016-17 ish. Again just my thoughts, nothing to back it up.

Who knew... I never used programming with bookmarks. Man, it opens up a whole new dimension. Don't mind me, I'll be reprogramming all my stuff over the next year. :-)
