    We have the senors at Floor level - so they do not spoil the look of the walls 
    Work great and do not every see them 
    All rooms are controlled and can say we have not turned a light on or off for the last 4 years

    For a sonos user its good -  Very Good - also allows you to connect to other devices 
    It does have a issues grouping rooms (FROM A C4 TOUCHSCREEN) which is not a issue for us - But its still very good
    been looking at for room  while and just waiting to see how the new Sonos software works in June.

    Gary Leeds UK reacted to ILoveC4 in DS2 Mini - Camera Problem following Driver Update   
    It’s only 6 months old. I’m actually excited and embarrassed to say that it DID NOT die. I mistakenly failed to reserve its IP address and it had an IP change. When I updated 3.1.3 that seemed to resolve itself and I noticed the new IP while troubleshooting again this morning. We’re back up and running and the IP is reserved.

    Trial Roon

    It just may be a good solution for you since you have a blended system. I searched high and low for a solution for your exact situation and Roon was the answer for me. And it added so much more. Can’t hurt to explore. I love it enough to have become a dealer. I do offer discounted Nucleus’s to forum members.

    In the driver on the camera page you need input the new password - C4 DOES NOT do this. 
    We had this issue

    Great initiative.  Mitch’s Renamer driver remains one of my favourite drivers and having another way of doing this is good for the end user...
    Personal opinion!

    Chowmain launches massive update to the FREE Lithe Audio driver for Control4.

    This update adds the ability to browse supported streaming services directly from any Control4 navigator.
    Haven't seen Lithe Audio Wi-Fi ceiling speakers before? These amazing speakers are easy to retrofit as they have a 60W RMS amplifier and have Wi-Fi connectivity built-in. Theres no need for speaker cables or servers.
    Stream your favorite Tidal, Deezer, Tune-In or vTuner audio from any Control4 navigator. Have an iPhone? The speakers have Airplay built in as well! Use Spotify? Send audio via spotify connect from your spotify app on Android / iOS or PC.

    We used to have some magic to do this but Control4 is locking down their backend shortly.  As such we can't use our backdoor trickery anymore.  Justin has finalised the integration of cameras connected to NVRs so that will be released shortly after beta testers are cool with it.

    If that would be the only thing missing for 240v regions it would be great... 
    Another example:
    faceplates and KeyCaps for lighting products have absolutely no matching design and color for anything that is commonly used in Europe - all Control4 would need is wider KeyCaps to accommodate 3rd party standard 55mm faceplates of which there are like 100 different designs.
     
    Or general innovation: something like this:

     
    That's really cool

    If you have a 2 core cable to an existing doorbell button you could consider one of these and then a Control4 DS2 or any other IP video door station of your choice.

    Gary Leeds UK reacted to brucecampbell in 220-240v zigbee smart plugs   
    Hey bro, settle down - me read good az.
    Giving options are better than remaining silent.
    We don't know the full context; 'Zigbee' might well be superfluous.
    A 230V outlet compatible with C4 - it has me assuming control from C4 is required - therefore it does not necessarily matter how C4 actually controls the device.

    Hey - if zigbee is required, then someone else might read this thread and be informed of the options.

    Gary Leeds UK reacted to DLite in C4 announcements thropugh sonos speakers   
    Hi @Gary Leeds UK :
    I managed to get the new announcements code working after some wrestling.  Here were my steps:
    1. Upload an mp3 file of the announcements to the Controller.  I first created a new (dummy) item in the C4 announcements agent, and then clicked "add" to add the mp3 file.  The new file then showed up as an option in the announcements agent.
    2. In the Sonos Network driver, choose "Play Audio Clip" and then the Sonos Room.  You can then put in whatever dummy name you like in the name field.  Finally, I inserted a URL to the filename on the controller.  This is of the form, http://[Controller IP address]/announcements/[File name].  So, for instance, if your C4 controller is at 192.168.0.20, and the file name is Gary's awesome announcement.mp3, you would enter the following URL, http://192.168.0.20/announcements/Gary's awesome announcement.mp3.  (I am not sure if the file name is case-sensitive, but I was careful to match the case showing up in the file name list within the announcements agent in case it matters.)
    Finally, my queue will no longer be junked up every time I call an announcement from the favorites list.  I am so happy! 
    Let me know if this helps you.
