  1. Did you have any time/luck trying to get the TCP options to work? I'm quite intrigued that some ppl with other integration systems are obtaining very good results and on the C4 the results are generally "poor"... I wonder how many times a command is sent before its "normally" received... maybe 5x would do the trick? maybe 8x? 10x? would it be possible to have an option in the driver to repeat the commands X times, up to 10 or 20? There may be a balance that merely hasnt been reached? Obviously doing it in a continious loop would pose problems for any single threaded system, but sending a UDP packet 10 times (or even 100x) wouldnt pose many problems for any modern network system... it may not be the most elegant of solutions, but it may well work... I'm going to try testing out when I'm on site with the lights some other options... I may try to make a script that can receive an http command and will then send a TCP command to the bridge or something to test how it behaves... and then have C4 call this script... it will add one more "extra part" to the system, but there are already tons of servers in the setup, just running a small script on one wouldnt be an issue... (Un)fortunately the install is already done with these lights... They provide bad c4 integration apparently, but work with most other things... plus they are just abt the only ones that come in a wide variety of formats so there wasnt any other alternative here... In my case I need to get to a solution as problems I have enough
  2. Thanks for your understanding jackstone! For switching the bridge to TCP mode you have to options, either login to the bridge via browser and select TCP mode in the options presented. This is available in the last fw. Or you may download the v4 admin tool from http://www.limitlessled.com/download/LimitlessLEDv4.zip (first link on the limitless/dev page. the tool lets you poll all bridges on the network as well as set static ips, and TCP or UDP modes for each bridge etc)... Our setup has over 150 led lights and 6 bridges... it would be great to have any improvement!
  3. I dont totally agree... In many situations we dont have feedback yet things work reliably... The fact we dont have feedback isnt "ideal" but its not an excuse for it not being reliable. My question remains, does the driver currently support TCP? Would you be able/willing to add TCP support? TCP would make it more reliable in theory at least, as with UDP you are sending off a packet without any type of confirmation it was received. In TCP mode, there is a connection made to the bridge, and then a command is sent. There is still no "response" to the command, but at least you have a connection state. Other solutions are using this and you can read online the feedback is generally extremely positive? thanks for your time considering this.
  4. Hi JAckstone, I'd like to know if the driver is compatible with the TCP mode available in the bridges? Supposedly this should help in some environments but requires support from the controlling app (in this case, the control4 driver). Thanks!
