    Please also check your DMX decoder's rating - it's easier to overload a driver than a decoder, but decoder do have max ratings as well - both per channel and total.
     
    Or similar - there's numerous other manufacturers that make the same product, or alternatives that don't come with a pre-sealed powercord but proper connection terminals (that get closed off on the PSU to code standard) allowing for a custom (longer) powercord to be attached that you can either plug in, or (better) terminate into a junction box.
    Though when in doubt, Meanwell is an easy go-to.

    The LOR driver is almost done, it work fairly well with impressive result. The fade engine is smooth the board operate very reliably. I think we have an hidden gem for lighting control in C4 here... I will need some beta tester with large LOR setup to test the driver.

    true, but this is only schematic, the real system use boosters (RGB amplifier) for the white channels, they are not on the drawing to keep it clean and easy to understand.

    jackstone got a reaction from StroTek LLC in Insteon v2 Driver Released   
    We are proud to release an all-new version of our popular Insteon driver. This new driver is entirely redone with the goal of pushing Insteon integration as close as possible to Control4 own gears.
     
    - Completely stand-alone, DOES NOT require any external software other that Composer Pro
    - Built-in Insteon linking support
    - Bidirectional communication
    - Module identification and auto-detection
    - Native scene support through Advanced Lighting agent (experimental)
    - v2 Proxy for light and keypad
    - As easy to program as own Control4 lightning gear
    - Core engine redone for better reliabily and speed
     
    It support most Insteon modules including Dimmers, Switchs, Keypads, Sensor, Fanlinc and Thermostat, all integrated using native Control4 proxies for the most transparent and flexible integration.
     
    It require the PowerLinc Serial Modem (2413S) to operate, it also work with older IP interface like the first generation of the Insteon Hub (2242-222).
     
    It DOES NOT work with the Hub v2 (2245-222).
     
    We heard the new Insteon Hub Pro will brind back the PLM functionality required for this driver to work, but we have not tested yet.
     
    Best for you is to start with a 2413S or grad a used 2242-222 on ebay, both runs rock solid with Control4.
     
    This driver is available through Houselogix Marketplace at the same pricing at the previous version.

    jackstone got a reaction from msgreenf in Chowmain - Kodi Lite (XBMC) Driver for Control4   
    Ok then, I will give another try to Kodi. I will use the most robust PC I have at home, it's a 2 year old Core i5 2nd gen with Intel mobo and onboard HDMI port, no PCIe graphics. It run Windows 8.1 host and Hyper-v with some virtual production servers and test workstation, Maybe the worst machine to use as a media player but it was running for two whole years 24/7 with no reboot or crash at all, this PC is a tank so I'll be sure the hardware part will not be the cause if something goes wrong.
     
    First though, with Kodi, the poor SD quality is finally solved, it now look good (the best it could for SD), good. Not sure it this is something related to the fact I run on Windows and the Windows driver for Intel video may be better than the generic driver in OpenElec...
     
    Will run Kodi always open and use it for my day to day movie and series viewing. Will use the free JSON-based XBMC driver for UI-only control (48h trial is not long enough for this test, but will sure buy the Chowmain's driver if this test is convincing.)
     
    Let's try this for let's say, a whole month, then I will try some hardware that could be use for a dedicated player, like the Gigabyte Brick or the China i3 mini PC from Aliexpress

    We are releasing a new solution for RGB LED Control with Control4. There is not so many good and affordable solutions of this kind right now, this driver may fill a gap many people wanted since a while.

    If you have tried other RGB LED Control solution for Control4 that are on the market right now, you may have find they may produce disappointing results, or other solutions may be better but for a price.

    The driver we are presenting if focussed mainly to work with RGB LED and use DMX as the standard lightning control protocol. It teams with a powerful interface that is the RS-232 DMX Engine from Engineering Solutions Inc. This little box have enough power to allow a complete management of RGB LED, Color effects, smooth fades, and more. Best of all, it does cost less than the other popular DMX solution for Control4.

    The driver fully support Advanced Lightning Agent scenes with perfectly synchronous activation with no external tool required to build a scene, it also feature a highly user friendly color effect management and native Control4 dimmer control to keep the experience similar the same as with Control4 own lightning system.


    Quick features list:
    - Native Control4 Dimmer Control
    - Full Advanced Lightning Agent support
    - Perfectly smooth scene activation with no popcorn effect
    - Smooth fades and color transition
    - Built-in Color Loop and Chase Effect
    - Effects are fully customizable
    - No CPU overhead
    - Support parallel tasking
    - Ultra fast response time
    - Exclusive Effect Switch for easy color effect creation
    - White override for RGBW Lightning

    The total cost of the driver and the interface is lower than the actual most popular DMX solution for Control4 and will produce better results, guarantee. Many people are already using it and they liked it.
