Gary Leeds UK got a reaction from tdougray in BBC to pull all radio services from TuneIn
Yes but does not have any other Platform to listen BBC Radio
Just at the end of the article
"BBC Radio services via TuneIn on some devices, where it’s neither technically or economically practicable to demand a sign-in window, will continue for now. These include TuneIn on SONOS speakers and some older connected radios."

Gary Leeds UK got a reaction from RyanE in Apple announces Homekit - Threat or Opportunity?
Must say the Roll out OS3 and Control4 Staff reaching out about Beta Testing as been great.
Hell of a lot less issues for such a big release compared to 2.10
Can tell Charlie is in Charge
Starting to Like the New Management feels more Corporate than Start UP
Keep up the Good Work

Gary Leeds UK reacted to sonic30101 in Automation vs Interaction
I have seen way too many companies that would rather finish a job under budget and do the minimum than use all the sold labor hours on a project putting in as much effort as possible to give someone a true custom solution. Not a control4 specific problem because it happens with many companies.

The EA can output 720p only at the moment ~ so way out of date

Gary Leeds UK reacted to South Africa C4 user in C4 3.0 iOS app
I have seen a Beta version of the app (not sure if I should have seen this, nor am I sure how far we are away from an iOS app update) but I can say that from what I saw, it looks to me like the next version of the app will load up on a local network in about 1/3 of the time that the current app takes... In short, I am not in the know, but do believe that this will be resolved soon! Those in the know are probably constrained from commenting.

Gary Leeds UK reacted to BraydonH in C4 3.0 iOS app
Unifi is not the issue. I have lots of clients with OS3 and Unifi.
Close the app completely and open it from scratch - loads quick
Put the app in the background for a bit and come back and reopen the app takes 30 seconds to load.
Known bug it happens on every system. Solution. Just shut the app down and open from scratch. Or wait a few more weeks untill C4 has it patched. They are aware of the issue.

Gary Leeds UK reacted to alanchow in Sky Q ip driver
That is crazy that they haven't changed it yet. This change was implemented in Sky Q firmware Q060.000.28.00L which was released in December 2017.
When this first came out we were inundated with support tickets, calls, emails, etc. Not something pleasant to wake up to on a Saturday i'll tell you that much. Anyway we logged in remotely to a system and after 2 hours of digging figured out that it was a simple port number change and pushed out updates to every site with the driver installed to ensure that no futher systems were effected.
Since then we have posted 14 updates to the driver to add new functionality to support all our friends in the UK including our most recent update which is for OS 3.0 favourting

Gary Leeds UK reacted to jakblak in Delay connecting to director from OS3 iOS app
I'm not a dealer but I can comment on this. The connection times are slower than they were in OS2 due to an underlying change in the networking technology used to talk to the controller. The team is hard at work on reducing connection times and we've already made great strides and we're continuing to reduce them further. We'll be dropping a public beta of the app in the next month or so with these connection improvements and I'll post the link in this thread so if you're interested you can give it a try. In the meantime, thanks for your patience

Gary Leeds UK got a reaction from Fitum in New installation need recommendations
On the Alarm we have a Texecom Elite which works great with Control4
We started with just one Room - Living Room (TV - Projector in ceiling speakers, Amp, lights etc) and then started to grow the system.
This keeps the cost under control and also you see ways to keep the cost down -
We have Phillip Hue Lights in most of the House and Sensors to turn them on and off - Cost £15 a bulb and £30 a sensor Audio we use Sonos - Play 3`s and Subs Control4 is used to bring everything together (Like a posh App) - EA3 OR EA5 Controller Light Switches can be retro fitted and cost about £140 each
Looks like your dealer price as got a carried away, however you could also have got carried away !!

Gary Leeds UK reacted to alanchow in Tight Arse Control4 Integration
Hi guys,
As we develop more and more drivers for IoT devices it has become apparant that you can now integrate alot of sub systems using off the shelf budget concious parts. I thought i would throw this thread up for those who want the bells and whistles without the cost associated. Note product pricing is at the time of writing this. This is only a small selection of the drivers we develop. Marking my favorites with Alan's Pick. Feel free to add to the thread (doesn't have to be our drivers).

Gary Leeds UK reacted to South Africa C4 user in Media Player Mini Apps
I must say, I am happy with my Apple TVs (8 between my 2 houses). I tried a Fire a couple of years ago and while mini apps were a (minor) plus, I was underwhelmed and quickly reverted to the Apple TV.

Gary Leeds UK reacted to South Africa C4 user in Composer 3.0
Honestly, there is no reason to wait to upgrade unless you have incompatibility hardware (e.g. HC250) or incomparable drivers (e.g. security drivers on security proxy V1). OS3 seems to have many less bugs (well done C4) than most previous versions and, as MS said earlier, this is software... every version will have some bugs!
