I have several Pakedge Bullet Cameras (model CK-CAM-TU6542) that I purchased from my C4 dealer and had installed as outdoor cameras which for the most part have been working great. 3 are installed on the exterior of my home but one has failed, likely due to either water penetrating the camera or from overheating being exposed to the sun. It worked for about a year then completly failed, no picture, no ping, nothing. Is there a better camera to use for outdoor use or should I replace it with the existing model and try again?

Thanks Muj...copy all. So if I understand correctly, even adding older generation stats to older drivers still won't work within C4...bottom line is the API refuses to add any new stats regardless of generation. Sounds like I should migrate to Google. Questions: 1) If migrate to the Google account can I still use my current Nest App? 2) If yes to #1, even if nest protect won't work with the new Google C4 driver, will the nest protect devices remain detected/operational within the Nest app?

If I migrate to the Google account I will not be able to use the Nest App on my phone, correct? That is problematic as I've heard Google has not integrated Nest Protect devices into their Google software yet. Therefore, if there is a smoke or C02 warning/alarm, I will not receive push notifications to my phone. What am I missing? I'm still not sure what the issue is with C4. The original Nest App works perfectly with all my stats (all generations) and all nest protects. Seems strange I can add the new stat to my Nest App but not C4. It seems that only C4 integration is what's broke. I guess I'm left with using the nest app to control and monitor my stats and smoke detectors. I can still see my original stat in my C4 project, but for some reason the driver will not let me add a new one. Migrating to a Google account isn't feasible until they resolve Nest Protect integration.

Thanks RAV. So the 3rd Gen Nest Thermostat has been out for 5 years (since Sept 2015), and yet has no one integrated this into C4? Hard to believe? Migration to Google only occurred in 2019...what did everyone do prior to that? Surely there's a Nest driver out there that should work, no? Thanks, Mike

Quick question...I have a two zone home with both zones using 2nd Gen Nest Learning TStats. Both TStats have been integrated into my C4 project since 2014. The rotating bezel on one of the TStas failed I just replaced one 2nd Gen Nest TStat with a brand new 3rd Gen Nest Learning TStat. I successfully remove the old TStat from the Nest App and added the new 3rd Gen. I am still using the original Nest App...I have not migrated to a Google Account. Inside the Nest App everything is working great with both 2nd Gen and 3rd Gen TStats working perfectly. In Composer Pro I removed the old TStat and upgraded the master driver from the old 2014 Nest driver to the Nest Master Driver OS2.7+. I then successfully entered the pin code and connected the API to my Nest account. For the last step, I clicked on Setup Account / Add Devices and it populated the project with all 6 of my Nest Protect Smoke Detectors, the 2nd Gen TStat that remained in place, but the driver did not add the new 3rd Gen TStat. Why not...what did I do wrong? How do I add it the new TStat to the project? Thanks in advance!

Good to know, thanks! Although how does it support Alexa if it's a closed system as lippavisual highlighted? Closed to C4 but not closed to Amazon?

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Moral of the story I gathered is that sometimes "dumb" is the smartest decision. Lol!

Thanks!

Bummer. So no smart shower integration options for C4 at all? Any vendor?

Sounds feasible, although Philips Hue is powered by standard outlet. Presumably this option requires converting a ceiling fan wiring into a standard outlet so there is a place to plug the Hue base into in the cileing, right?

Thanks, how is this powered?

Am planning a master bath renovation and am looking to install a Smart Shower system. The two that stand out are U by Moen and Kohler DTV+. Which of these has C4 integration? If both, which is the better option? Thanks!

A quick search and is seems RGB lightning is way outdated in technology. What solution can I go with that powers an RGB strip from Chandalier wiring in the ceiling so it's activated via a C4 Wireless switch on the wall? A wireless RGB Controller sits in the ceiling cavity and connects to the C4 controller via Zigbee (no different than any other wireless Zigbee device). Everything is powered via 120v using existing chandalier or fan wiring (no fan installed of course). I run the RGB strips out along the ceiling trim to my desired location and control the lighting through my C4 App. What solution gets me this?

Not sure why no recommendations for pfSense. Have been using a pfSense router for a couple years and in terms of functionality, performance, and security (i.e. firewall), pfSense is about as good as it gets. Unifi is right up there, but arguably not as customizable as a pfSense router.
