As Alan mentioned, C4Soap is not well documented outside of Control4, but it's certainly available in the current version for this sort of functionality.

 

Besides my Lua scripts, if you do a search for 'c4soap' on Google, there are a few other libraries that do some limited C4Soap functionality.

 

None of the libraries out there seem to implement much of the C4Soap protocol, other than SendToDevice, etc.

 

 

Be aware that there's no support for any C4Soap functionality, and that Control4 may at some point remove the ability to access C4Soap without a certificate, or some other restriction, although at the moment, that's not the case.

Yeah, I'm gonna do some more hacking around and see what I can discover with C4Soap. I wonder if I can send TV remote commands.  All I think I need is lighting and tv remote functionality. It would be nice to integrate that with some sort of voice recognition.

I'll have to read up on driverworks. This is the first time I've heard about it.

I think you mean do what navigator can do but regardless of terminology good work.

I corrected it. I'm new to the Control4 set up. I've been playing with it for a few days now. It's been hard to find a lot of support online. I found a few guides on SOAP commands, etc. A lot of it was in Lua. I figured I'd do it in Python because there's a plethora of modules also it would be cool to use a Beaglebone or Raspberry Pi to run some macros.

Hello,

I'm working on writing a Python library to do what navigator can do. With the use of Python many complex functions could be achieved.

Currently, I have lighting implemented. The description is in my blog:

The python code is in my git repo:

Also, for anyone who is new to Python I'll consider making a tutorial to set it up if there's interest. I use Eclipse with the PyDev plugin and it works great.

The version of Director I have is 2.1.1.135702

If you have any questions, please ask.
