That’s exactly what I’d like.... (I just prefer amazon music but I’m sure that’s an easy sub)! Look forward to hearing it...
thx!
OK - I have AMAZON ECHO in the left side of the screen and when I choose it I have a number of VOICE COMMANDS that I can do - you create these on Systen Design Add Trigger Name (let me know if you don't know how to do that. My trigger name was SPEAKERS ALL.
When that is activated the ONE LINE that is executed is:
Play Pandora Station: Bills Radio Station In Room(s) Main> Debbies Closet, Main> Living Room, Main > Kitchen, Main> Study.....
That is it -
The Turn off Speakers all Executes:
Turn off Study
Turn Off Kitchen
Turn off Living Room etc
I turn off ALL rooms on turn off because even though I may not have turned them on turning them off is not an issue and makes sure you don't orphan any speakers.
Let me know if you have questions - this works a treat.
You could have Trigger phrases like:
Turn on Speaker Kitchen
Turn on Main Set (set ot three speakers for example)
If I want to play a specific song or playlist then I use airplay from my phone to play throughout the house from my phone. We recently had a celebration of life at my house for friend that passed. Each person was asked to bring some of their favorite songs and each got to play one song in memory. Each person simply attached to my airplay and it played through out the house while pictures of my friend were on the projection screen in the media room and on all televisions as well.
This allowed multiple people to play different songs on my sound system throughout the house.

I have the following command that work a treat for me -
1. Alexa - turn on speakers all.
This turns on Pandora on the last station I used for Pandora (which I can change on my phone if I wish) and sets 12 rooms of speakers on at a preset volume which I can also change on my phone or drop off any rooms I want.
Let me know if this sounds interesting to you and I will tell you what I did.
You can also set up Control 4 Airplay and simply play what ever you are playing through Alexa through airplay. Or from your phone using airplay.

WEMO - Control4 available public free driver works a treat.

OK - I destroyed the Recipe twice and on the third time it started working - NO idea what is different - but I do have it working now. This IFTTT driver is amazing in what it can do.
Thanks,

I need some help -
I have everything set up and working -
IFTTT driver
The pushover driver
I have it set up with RING so that when there is a push on my RIN PRO it will announce in my house.
It will work (it seems) if I delete the recipe and recreate it each time - It will work once.
It will then no fire any more
Any chance you can help me figure this out?
Everything is registered - it simply seem that RING is not telling IFTTT that someone rang my doorbell. Again - I have an account - it will work if I delete the recipe and recreate it ONCE.
It SEEMS to recognize the MOTION and will trigger the door bell based on
MOTION - but it will NOT trigger based on the actual RING of the RING PRO doorbell. Really could use some understanding. I have turned on and off several times and deleted it and recreated it several times.

Hey Guys,
I bought a vizio soundbar and I am trying to use it with my tv and have c4 control the volume. I learned the IR codes but when I test them I can't get them to work. I know the IR sensor is in the correct spot. Any ideas? Anyone have a working driver?
Purchased one - my dealer could not get it to work - he had a BOSE soundbar that he was given at half price and let me have it for that - it is incredible sound and works a treat - we had to give up on the VIZIO.

I do not know anything about HE so I don’t know if it does this.
Pandora is is set up or amazon or your source is set up in C4.
Echo simply executes “play bills radio station” and turns on the standard speakers at standard volume.
Let me know if you still don’t understand it?
