Ken, The keypad buttons are linked to scenes/lights in the Connections section of Composer Pro, which isn't available in Composer HE, which is why you aren't seeing the "missing link". I have stated before and I'll state again...really wish they would make this stuff visible but read-only in Composer HE, so at least there is no major mystery and HE users can see the information so as not to be confused. Its best done with Connections because then the keypad button LED can easily track scene active/inactive status without doing any additional programming work. As far as the scenes themselves, they can be created/edited in Composer HE under Agents -> Advanced Lighting agent. They can also be created/edited right from within the Control4 mobile app under Lighting->Scenes (and that will then impact what the buttons do, if they are linked to the scene that you are editing) Hope that helps. thanks Ari

this document pretty much explains it all in detail- https://www.control4.com/docs/product/migrating-to-next-generation-wireless-lighting/information-sheet/english/latest//migrating-to-next-generation-wireless-lighting-information-sheet-rev-a.pdf

I ended up getting a 15" Surface Laptop with 32gb RAM, 1 TB SSD. So far so good, although I haven't really had a chance to put the battery life to its full test. I was a little bummed that this model only seems to come in black, but not a big deal really. Its also a bit heavier and larger than my previous Lenovo, so that will take some getting used to...part of me wonders if I should have just went with the 13.8" model. Otherwise, this thing is really nice - love the build quality, speed, facial recognition unlock, and (hopefully) really long battery life! Thanks all for your input.

Good points by all... Appreciate the feedback! Any reason not to just use my (1 year old) MacBook Air which I already own? It has good battery life and is fast. Just need to renew my parallels license. I bought it to do some Savant stuff but I mostly don't use it at all. Just sits on my desk. Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk

Do you ever have network-related issues using Composer within the VM? or for anyone else running Parallels..from within there?

Yeah I've been using Lenovo Yogas which have been great and pretty durable considering what I put them through. I have a MacBook Air which is nice but I'm more of a Windows guy and don't really trust running Composer on parallels all the time when my livelihood depends on it.

Thanks. I only want to use one laptop for everything, as I pretty much work all the time and also want to use the same machine for all of my personal computing needs as well (nothing too heavy duty... Just web based stuff mostly). So I want it to be able to do everything and look/feel high quality. Any way to confirm on the ARM thing? Anyone else on here have actual proof of it working for sure?

Well the time as come again where I need a new laptop... Dropped mine too many times on job sites and it's starting to really show it's scars... Need the best battery life possible. Honing in on the 15" Surface laptop which has great reviews regarding battery life and speed. However it has an ARM processor which apparently some apps aren't compatible with. Anyone know if Composer has any issues with ARM? https://www.bestbuy.com/site/microsoft-surface-laptop-copilot-pc-15-touch-screen-snapdragon-x-elite-32gb-memory-1tb-ssd-7th-edition-graphite/6582831.p?skuId=6582831#tabbed-customerreviews Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk

Is there a driver for the new Google TV? Chowmain?

No way to see the connection bindings in HE (or change them). As a dealer/programmer, its one of my pet-peeves. Wish they would make the Connections section visible but read-only in HE. Yes you can have a button control multiple lights - typically that's done via linking the button to an Advanced Lighting Scene in connections. Could also be done in programming, but the LED on the button won't automatically track active/inactive status of the scene, like it does when using connection bindings.

that would be awesome, especially if it could fallback to IR only when it detects that the IP connection is broken.

Email me at ari@epic-systems.com I'd be happy to help.

correct. Yellow wire goes to the Yellow wire on the corresponding dimmer/keypad dimmer/switch. the white/blue wire connects to neutral. green is ground.

I may be able to help. PM sent
