    Neeo Source selection: Touch a single button on the screen to select the Comcast box, or any of my Roku sources (Netflix / Hulu / Plex / Amazon Prime Video)
    SR260 Source selection: Watch -> Menu -> Down button -> Down button -> Down button -> Enter.
    Neeo Channel selection: Choose a channel favorite (with station artwork), or use the Channels/Stations driver to choose a station from the handful that I use regularly.
    SR260 Channel selection: Remember the number for the station I want, enter it on the numeric keypad, and/or go into guide and scroll until I find it.
    Neeo Dish Media shows artwork for all recordings, prime time anytime, and On Demand programming.

    P.S.  You can also control lights, locks, and other stuff...

    Channel surfing is pretty easy on the Neeo remote.  Here is what our Sky driver looks like on the remote.  Look at that sexyness

    As I stated in my original thread, it would be nice to see the events that have happened in the house.   Similar to the Chowmain driver, but with more capability. It would be nice to know:
    What events are scheduled for the day (e.g. sprinklers will turn on at 9am, kids wake up time set for 7am,  thermostat set to 75 degrees at 10am, exterior lights turn off at sunrise, etc.) What events were triggered that day - this would be things that programming would turn on/off based off parameters (e.g. Ceiling fans turned on at 9:00 because it was over 80 degress outside, radiant floors turned on because it dropped below 40 degrees, etc.) What events were manually activated that day (e.g. tv turned on, music played, sprinkler manually activated, doorbell pushed, etc.) Collection of my alarms (e.g. front door lock jamed, battery low on remote, front door left open longer than 3 minutes  
    In short, I can't actually see what has happened (or is going to happen) in a given day with my system.   Yes, I do get push notifications sent to my phone, but its very difficult to go back and look at what happened based off those.   Plus, push notifications only tell me AFTER things happen, not before.

    Doesn't the Crestron TSR-310 have everything?     It has basically everything the NEEO does, but adds more hard buttons, back lit buttons, and a Microphone.   (The Savant Pro does as well, so does the RTI remote)

    RobbieF reacted to Crustyloafer in How to kill video stream on Apple TV with IR driver on ROOM OFF   
    I had a similar issue with a client's Apple TV and an IR driver and this is how I resolved, I just sent the 'Stop' command whenever the room was turned off.
    My nested IF statements are just there to check it is not in use in another room as the Apple TV is connected to a 4x4 video matrix.

    Basically looks like it's going to have the functions of the phone app with some hard buttons. As long as it is quick and not over priced I think it might be decent. 
    I probably could glue a ATV remote on the back and have Siri "built" in.

    An interesting factoid, my memory usage has dropped by 30% (not sure if this is OS3.1 or the CA10).

    Did you read the CEpro article about Dante? 
    I spoke with a guy on the stand about it and they said it was something in the pakedge line, so it looks like it was more on the networking side of Dante rather than the audio side. I was hoping for a dante enabled triad matrix when I read the article but no such luck.

    To be honest, I can’t recall everything but I know they are fairly full. Main items that I can think of:
    1. Irrigation
    2. Underfloor heating
    3. Power sensing
    4. Gate control and sensing for a gate that is not linked to the security system.
    5. I think my pool links through an IO extender but I may be wrong. Can’t recall if an IO extender has RS232.
    6. Control of DVR and various other items that I want to be able to reboot by dropping power at the push of a button from within C4
    7. Aircons
    8. Heat pumps and circulating pumps

    Thanks to whoever made this happen. 👍
     I have 4 T3's, but I've already used this functionality on my mobile twice.  It's just more convenient to use what's in my pocket vs going to a spot on the wall and standing there. 🙂

    yes you have the best of both really, I don't think its necessary to have 2 rooms.  only thing is you might want to create a "Home" or "Dashboard" room which you use as your main landing page for the house, with shortcuts to the things you want to see/control at-a-glance.

    RobbieF 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

    Just use the paid for driver from Chowmainsoft, far better driver and much better support. Is still pretty cheap anyway, we use on every job with Sky+HD and Sky Q.

    I just released V5 which renames the get upcoming events action to refresh events which now refreshes upcoming events & todays events instead of just upcoming events. Also todays events are now updated every hour on the dot instead of every day.
    Outlook calendar - I'm hoping to release it this week sometime!

    RobbieF reacted to South Africa C4 user in Status Messages   
    I’ll try and remember to take a picture tomorrow... I am using them for a few things, including:
    1. There are a few alerts that I am posting to status messages and leaving them visible for a few hours (e.g. The electric fence has been turned off - I leave this message on screen for 12 hours as my gardener sometimes turns it off and this is a good reminder to me to turn it back on).
    2. I have an Experience button in my garden room, that if you push it, creates a status message showing the rainfall for the last few days that stays on the screen (all of my T3s) for 5 minutes.
    3. I’ve played around with it and have linked one of the buttons on @Shivam Paw ‘s TTS driver to send the text I type in to a Status message that stays on screen for 24 hours... I can then send myself a kind of post it note (from my iPad in bed) and see it the next morning on whichever rT3 I happen to use first... great for short reminders...

    Does this mean I can add an additional zone by passing the audio matrix and the amp? Will the driver allow me to bind these speakers to the room audio?

    RobbieF reacted to Shivam Paw in DarkSky Weather Integration   
    This driver provides easy access to weather at any given latitude and longitude. You can have multiple instances of the driver to fetch weather at different locations. Weather information updates every 30 minutes (by default) to allow for constant monitoring.
    https://www.blackwiredesigns.com/store/control4-weather-information-darksky/
    FEATURES
    The driver currently provides the following weather information, stored as Control4 Variables:
    Current temperature Current humidity Current precipitation probability Current pressure Current wind speed Today’s high temperature Today’s low temperature Today’s precipitation probability Today’s summary Tomorrow’s high temperature Tomorrow’s low temperature Tomorrow’s precipitation probability Tomorrow’s summary Current summary Hour summary Day summary Week summary Full summary Number of Current Alerts Latest Alert Title Latest Alert Description Latest Alert Severity Latest Alert Start Latest Alert End Other features include:
    Programmatically fetching the weather A programming event for when the weather has been fetched User definable interval for automatically fetching the weather USE CASES
    Why do you need this driver? Well here are a couple of use cases.
    You can make use of the summaries with our Text to Speech driver to, for example, announce the days weather at 8am every week day If rain probability is less than X% tomorrow then turn on your sprinklers Automatically turn down the thermostats if it’s a hot day INSTALLATION
    This driver requires a DarkSky API Key. You can get a key for free which provides 1000 requests a day and our driver checks for weather updates every 30 minutes automatically (48 requests a day) (although you can configure this to any value between 1 and 60). Once you have registered, verified your email and logged in you will see your secret key (API Key) displayed.
    You can use the Find Lat/Long action to get the longitude and latitude of a location before you enter it in the driver properties.

    I’d be really excited to see @Shivam Paw starting to write paid for drivers... he has released a few really cool freebies over the last few weeks and if he starts concentrating on this and selling them then I think we could see some exciting new drivers!
