Garage Door Opener and Control4 MyQ Integration
BraydonH replied to Carter Hobson's topic in General Control4 Discussion
Best way we have found to do it is with a Garadget adapter then a relay and contact hardwired into Control4 or a Z2IO https://www.garadget.com/product/security-2-0-dry-contact-adapter/ MyQ drivers have been breaking for year from various developers. Just use a relay and contact. -
You know they have proper nvidia shield and amazon fire stick drivers now. If that's what your trying to control you can probably avoid the IRUSB's

Your sure after the power cycle and the factory restore that the IP address didn't change? Proabably just didnt DHCP reserve it properly, power went out and the IP address changed which is why C4 cant see the camera anymore. Now that you restored it you may have a lot more work to get it going again. Either make sure it has the same IP as before or tell your dealer the updated IP address so C4 can talk to them again. Make sure you set them for DHCP reservation or for Static so the problem does happen again next time the power goes out.

How to add second audio zone using an EA-3?
BraydonH replied to Jeffrey's question in Question & Answer
The analog audio output will be just fine. NO issues having multiple audio outputs (IE Both the digital and analog hooked up to different amps at the same time) -
How to add second audio zone using an EA-3?
BraydonH replied to Jeffrey's question in Question & Answer
Best accomplished by audio out of EA-3 into amp for outdoor speakers. Then probably an IR or IP driver to control the amp. Skip on the AppleTV audio extraction stuff. -
How to add second audio zone using an EA-3?
BraydonH replied to Jeffrey's question in Question & Answer
I mean I'm assuming you want to use the AppleTV audio so you can AirPlay. If that's the case then why not just use Control4's built in shairbridge and audio out of the EA-3 into the amp that will power your outdoor speakers. Then you would also get TuneIn and the other C4 media services as well. -
New Control4 Remotes coming 2021?!
BraydonH replied to anon2828's topic in General Control4 Discussion
YES YES YES!!! This is actually probably the most important thing. I can't believe I forgot to mention that. Above all that is my biggest gripe about the current neeo. My girlfriend wont even use it and still uses the sr-260 mainly becuase of the lack of back lighting. -
New Control4 Remotes coming 2021?!
BraydonH replied to anon2828's topic in General Control4 Discussion
Fair points about the 5 Ghz, but it would still be a nice option. And others might have different opinions but in my experience the neeo battery is plenty good enough. I mean a bigger battery would never hurt but since I bought the neeo it has never died not even when left off the cradle for like a week at a time. I'm pretty good about docking it all the time but the battery has been good in my experience. I definitely think the current battery could handle 5 GHz and the extra power required and I would still have plenty of battery left over. -

The response not having digital inputs what one of those "Really.... ??" moments. Like c'mon guys. -
New Control4 Remotes coming 2021?!
BraydonH replied to anon2828's topic in General Control4 Discussion
Neeo 2.0 needs to have 5 Ghz Wifi, More buttons for transport controls, a built in mic (I actually hate voice control but it is the future and we may as well implement it now) And the capability to view cameras on it. For the price point of this bad boy I should absolutely be able to look at my cameras. Dock should have USB type-C instead of the weird USB to 12v plugin that it currently has. Backgrounds (the plain black background was really the best C4 could do? even the old neeo before C4 bought it had better looking backgrounds. and that would be good enough for me. Keep the size of the remote and the screeen size / weight the same as the current neeo nails those aspects. -

Adding Streaming "Channels" to the "stations" feature
BraydonH replied to eggzlot's topic in Programming with Composer
I dont have the xtra channels either. I'm thinking its not implemented in the driver. Not what your looking for but you should be able to AirPlay the channels using ShairBridge as a work around. Yes its not a permanent solution but it will work. -
Intrinsic Dev - KEF LS50 Wireless II Driver (FREE)

Nice work. These are a very cool hifi product. I've wanted a pair for years. Stoked the driver is free too.- 12 replies

Also no one mentioned it but there is a new "Zigbee Health" Pop up window which looks pretty great. More of a dealer centric thing. Also it is now WAY easier to get logs on devices without being a putty master. Not very exciting but still much appreciated. Still waiting for better camera proxy and native RGB color wheel, my two biggest requests.

I have had a few customers complain as well. The label helps.

Then the hardware ships on a newer version than your old cracked version of composer and it doesn't work... Best of luck with the project though. But to answer a few questions. Yes the new SR-260s screens are fixed and don't dim / they are a lot brighter. The C4 video matrix doesn't even do proper 4K. Skip on that and get AV Pro Edge or something that can handle at least 18 GBPS (4K60 4:4:4)

Your going to need to contact a dealer. I can tell you what MSRP for those items is in CAD, but that's only half of what you need. You really need someone to make a trip to site and have a look at things.
-
What do you mean replace for regular switches??? Of course you can uninstall the C4 switches and put dumb regular switches back in. But why? LED compatibilty will vary between bulbs. Some will dim better than others. But yes you can you dimmable bulbs, how good they dim will vary though. The new C4 dimmers dim LEDs better than the old dimmers do, but the old dimmer will still dim.

NEEO - Beep to locate just like the SR remotes
BraydonH replied to control4user007's topic in Wishlist
I lose mine in the bed all the time +1 would be great. Even better would be a little button on the base charging station that you could press. -
Nope. T3/T4 Touchscreens only...

Big Siruis Fan here. I use it at home. You can get the "room control" driver to allow up to 6 (I believe) preselected stations to cycle through. That should be plenty. Yes if you want to get to the 5th station you have to hit the button 5 times and it can take a bit. I usually only do my 3-4 favorites at max. I also make a double tap shut it off so I don't have to cycle right through to the end. Not that up/down wouldn't work great to channel up/down that would actually be awesome. But I still think I would prefer to have 1 button cycle through my fav stations and keep the up/down for adjusting the volume.
