Hi, I have an Epson Home Theater projector that is controlled on the RS232 by an Itach Flex serial connection. Yesterday, my router went bad and the Itach lost its original IP when I got it fixed. I contacted a Control4 expert whom I have used many times and always helpful! The itach is back online, the Control4 expert updated the IP settings of Itach Flex. Now the Itach Flex no longer passes any commands to the projector. Everything has been rebooted, but Itach still does not seem to control the projector (cannot turn on or off). Anyone have any ideas? The projector is an Epson Home Cinema 3800 in case this matters. Appreciate any ideas. Thanks! Tony

Thanks so much for this advice. I will give one or both of these devices a try. Much appreciated! Tony

If I set the HDMI out to M+S, it causes my TV to put up an HDMI error and will not show anything until I change the HDMI back to Main.

No, the Onkyo remote does not have those options on the physical remote or the app version.

I want to use the TV or Projector one at a time. I can make this work manually by going to the Onkyo front panel and switching HDMI from HDMI Out Main to HDMI Out Sub (and back to HDMI Main of course). So if I was not lazy, it does give me exercise. But my wife does not know or care to know how to switch those HDMI Outs. Onkyo does have RS232 codes to make that switch. If I switched control by IP to RS232, would someone familiar with RS232 commands be able to "program" that. I have the discrete RS232 codes for both HDMI Out Main and HDMI Out Sub. Thanks!

Hey AK1, thanks for your reply. I can make all the changes in the Onkyo. My issue is that the integrator that helps me most of the time (Mitch Greenfield--who is great BTW) tells me the Onkyo driver does not have a provision to change the HDMI outs from HDMI Main to HDMI Sub (and vice versa). He said the driver would only allow him to set it up as HDMI out and HDMI Zone 2. So we either need another driver or a work around. Previous to this model Onkyo I had a TX-RZ610 and it was set up in C4 to operate the HDMI outs--and no issues. I have wondered if we could go back to the driver that works with the TX-RZ610 and it would work for TX-RZ830 as well. I want to select TV and let C4 change my Onkyo to HDMI main and if I select Projector, C4 should change my Onkyo to HDMI Sub (not Zone 2). Does that make sense? Thanks! Tony

Hi, I need to secure someone's services to help with a C4 issue that has presented problems to those who usually assist me. I have an Onkyo TX-RZ830 and have a TV and Projector connected to each of the HDMI Outs. If you know about Onkyo, you know you can set these HDMI outputs as HDMI Main or HDMI Sub or HDMI M+S. The other option is to have HDMI main and use the second HDMI as Zone 2. My TV is now connected to HDMI 1 out, and Projector is connected to HDMI out configured as Zone 2. I do not want the projector to be attached to Zone 2 as that limits the HDMI inputs to # 1-3 and reduces sound quality of output. I want the setup: TV from HDMI Main and Projector from HDMI Sub. (PS I have tried leaving both HDMI outs set to HDMI M+S but that now causes HDMI protection errors. If someone thinks they can remote into my EA1 and make these changes, I am more than happy to pay for the service. PS, my ONKYO is controlled by IP currently. And I have the discrete RS232 codes to switch HDMI out from Main to Sub if that would help. Please let me know if you can assist and/or if you need more info. Thanks! Tony

Neil has restored my faith in Control4. Honestly I was ready to ditch the equipment because very little seemed to go right with it. My system just needed someone like Neil who would take the time and use his expertise to get all the kinks out and to add some additional features. He is professional, persistent, and just pretty dang good at what he does. I hope he does not change jobs—cause I know I will have additions or changes needed to my C4 system. And I will rely on Neil. Highly recommended. A Roberts
