That worked. Thank you. Greatly appreciated. 
I noticed my Pakedge router has a firmware update available as well? Is it the same with the router too? 

Did Pakedge change their default username and password for their NK-1 with the latest firmware? I was logged into my NK-1 today and noticed that there was a firmware update (2.something) so I updated and now I can no longer access the device. It doesn’t like my username or password since the firmware update. Absolutely no issues before the firmware update. 
Are the default credentials still supposed to be pakedge/pakedgen?

I tried the above as well as my own and nothing works.

You cant use the Pentair 523434 Wireless Link Kit or another option?

Not if you want to integrate it with your C4 system and control it through the C4 interfaces. 

You have to buy the I-link. Sorry. I know they are an expensive little device for something the size of a USB stick. 
 

The Pentair wireless link only allows you to use it with Pentair equipment. 

You need to purchase an I-link adapter from Pentair to make a physical link between your intellitouch and your C4 system. You can’t do it wirelessly. Extend the Cat cable you have stubbed out of your house to the intellitouch panel and that can be used to connect your system to the I-link adapter and connect the i-link to the intellitouch panel. Have your dealer add the driver to your project and program away. 

Does it work on 2.9.1?

Things I would want to do from C4 would include starting climate, starting charging, getting charge status, getting battery charge percentage, smarter charging timers (ie end charge time at 7am). 

I would like to do this through my Control4 system as well. Smarter charging timers for sure.

What kind of scenario are you searching for?

You need to wake up the car for getting and sending updates.
If you do this frequently, it will drain the battery

 

I’m not worried about waking up the car or battery drain. The battery drain would be extremely minimal. I keep them plugged in at home anyways.

@IntrinsicGroup Did you ever develop a Tesla driver for Control4? I would love to integrate my Tesla's with my C4 system.

@IntrinsicGroupDid anything ever happen with this?

Keep in mind you don’t need a Control4 dealer to set up Pakedge equipment. You could set up the NK1 yourself. It’s really simple. Download the manual and follow the instructions for setup. You should be able to have it set up and your AP’s online in less than 30 minutes. 

Mine also says it’s up to date but the driver is only showing 20200326

I use Alan’s Driver in my system for geofencing but nothing more. 
I want to set up an outbound command so that when I push a custom button it will send a command to my Rachio to activate a zone. 
I understand I need to use webhooks but can someone tell me exactly how to set up the outbound command from Control4 so it will go to webhooks? Step by step?

i created the custom button. In programming, under button press, when I go over to device actions I select the IFTTT driver and I have the option to check device specific command and then sub menus are event, value1, value2, value3. If I expand the driver device actions I could choose conditionals under last title, last message, last title (number), last message (number) last title (float) and last message (float). 
I’m confused how to send out a command to webhooks from Control4. 
My apologies in advance as I am not an IFTTT user so I’m not familiar with it. 
I would greatly appreciate your help.

It's still something we're very keen to do - we're looking into the best ways of implementing it.

If you could please reach out to me when you start beta testing I would love to participate. 

I got it working. My initial setup was correct. What did it for me was actually unplugging the router. All this time I was rebooting the router through the Pakedge GUI after making changes, but apparently that doesn’t do the trick. At least it didn’t for me. 
 

Trunks were not required, just a hybrid port between the router and switch like I originally had setup. 
 

I added a bunch of other devices to my VLAN2 after I got the test camera working and all are working perfect. 
 

Now on to separating all the equipment out onto separate VLAN’s. 
 

A big thank you to all who chimed in on this thread and offered help and support. It’s greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!
 

One question I have. I’m going to put all of my media players on a separate vlan. Should I put everyone’s ipad’s and iPhone‘s on the same vlan as the media players? The reason I am thinking this would be a good idea is because the kids are always streaming content on their phones and iPads. What do you think? 

According to Pakedge it’s supposed to be set as a hybrid port but when I get home from work I will try it as a trunk instead and see if it makes a difference. Will let you know the outcome.

Step 1: Use VLAN 1 for management only.

Step 2: Make two more VLANs, make sure zone bonding is enabled and your pakedge switches set to the correct vlans.

My end goal is to use VLAN1 for management only. It has always been set up for everything on 1 VLAN since day one but once I figure out  how to get everything to talk (my test camera working) I will end up setting up 6 different VLANS for all of my different equipment. I wish I had set up separate VLAN’s right from the start but hindsight is 20/20. Lesson learned. 
 

zone bonding is enabled.

Please post your findings and solution here. I’m getting ready to dive in to VLAN Zones on my Pakedge equipment here one of these days. 

Will do.

have you tried to connected a network cable to your switch, disable WiFi on your laptop and try to access the camera?

Thanks

Yes I tried this. See my post above.

Router seems fine

Switch seems fine but Port 18 as a Hybrid going to an unmanaged switch isn't necessary, you would have to either make it an Access port to access a certain vLAN or a Trunk port and if you want devices separated you would have to give them Static IP.

I would try getting rid of the DHCP res you made for the camera and factory defaulting it, see if the RK1 picks it up in the dashboard and try to browse to it 

I can remove 18 and 19 from hybrid that go to the switches below. 
I tried removing the dhcp res for the camera and resetting. The camera will connect to 10.0.1.x and works fine. 

Test camera changed to 10.0.2.230 and still can’t access it. 

My router is connected to the switch on port 24. 

I previously watched the video you attached above Multiple times. 

according to Pakedge instructional videos, zone bonding should allow wireless devices connected to access points on VLAN1 to talk to devices on VLAN2. 

Ports 20, 21 & 22 on the switch are the access points and I made them hybrid ports (see pic in above post). Should this not allow the wifi on LAN1 to communicate with devices on LAN2? 

I’m not sure what you mean by tag my ssid’s to my wifi. 
 

I tried plugging my laptop directly into the switch But still can’t access the camera  

I thought I was allowing traffic from VLAN1 to VLAN2 by making port 24 hybrid.
I’ve now made 18-24 all hybrid ports (see attached) and I still can’t connect to the test camera at 10.0.2.240

Hello

I am having an issue with a multiple VLAN setup on my network and I’m hoping someone here with Pakedge experience can provide some help and let me know where I have gone wrong. I have been using my Pakedge router, switches, 3 AP’s and network controller for over 2 years with absolutely no issues with only VLAN1. Now I want to separate some of my equipment out to separate VLAN’s for a better network reliability but I can’t get the VLAN’s to talk to each other. I added a separate “test” IP camera to VLAN2 for testing purposes but I can’t see the assigned IP address to the camera and I can’t access it. I set it up with a DHCP reservation of 10.0.2.240 in the router.

I have the following equipment and connected as follows. 

1. RK-1 router - WAN1 connected to ISP modem, LAN1 connected to port 24 of the SK24 switch
2. SK-24 switch - port 20, 21 & 22 connected to Pakedge access points. Port 18 connected to S26e switch 1, port 19 connected to S26e switch 2, port 23 connected to NK-1 network controller, port 24 connected to router
3. NK-1 network controller
4. S26e switch #1, all ports connected to multiple computers, Control4 equipment and IP cameras, etc
5. S26e switch #2, all ports connected to NAS’s and Control4 equipment, etc

My main VLAN1 has DHCP range of 10.0.1.1 - 10.0.1.250 and has always been this way (and always worked fine). I use DHCP reservations for all my wired and wireless equipment. 

I enabled VLAN2 and “enable zone bonding” is checked. VLAN2 has an IP address of 10.0.2.1.

On my SK-24 switch I set port 9 to VLAN2 and all other ports are VLAN1. Under port assignment I have set hybrid to port 24. 

On my router I set a DHCP reservation for a test camera to 10.0.2.240 and I plugged that camera into port 9 on the SK-24 switch. 

When I try to access the test camera from my computer, it can’t find it. Says not available.  My computer is connected to the access point which is on VLAN1. When I look at the router status it shows all of the DHCP leases at 10.0.1.x except it does NOT show the test camera at 10.0.2.240. Only 10.0.1.x leases are listed. 

Are you able to tell my why I can’t access VLAN2 devices? I would eventually like to set up separate VLAN’s for all of my equipment to clean up my network but until I get one test camera working I don’t want to mess with the others. 

I have attached a couple pictures for reference.  I hope they help. Please note when I took the picture of the switch screen I had the test camera unplugged so that’s why it’s showing as a black port and not white. When I plug the camera in it turns white like the other used ports. 

I’m hoping someone here can help. 

Thanks in advance. 

@IntrinsicGroup Did you ever develop a Tesla driver for Control4? I would love to integrate my Tesla's with my C4 system.

I’m in. The person I bought it from remembered the IP address. I can now reset it through the dashboard and set my own IP.

All good now! 

Thanks for everyone’s suggestions. I appreciate the assistance.
