I hate to be such a pain but how would I find the mini-driver that I am looking for? For Prime Video for example.

That’s where I’m stuck also. I know that the next step is to select the action I want to happen and in the Actions pane on the right side of the screen - just can’t find the appropriate action - ie: switch to Prime Video.

Yes, the hot buttons on the remote. Would you mind pointing me in the right direction? I looked around in HE and searched here but came up empty on both.

Is this something I can do myself using Composer HE? For example, if I press the red hot button, can I program the system so that it automatically switches to Amazon Video, green button to YouTubeTV, etc, or this a dealer only function? Thanks

I insisted on an 8-channel 510 NVR to allow for future expansion. I gave some thought about going with a BlueIris setup using my NAS, but in the end I needed something simple for my wife while I am away. With that said, how do I log in to the NVR directly using Chrome or Safari as someone mentioned?

I asked my dealer about holding off on the CA-1 as I have the one dimmer in the garage and it hasn’t had any connectivity issues (that I know of). He replied that it is hopping off of the dimmer in the Laundry room (closer to the controller), and he strongly recommends the CA-1 so I guess I’ll go that route. Never hurts to make the mesh more robust I guess.

So I heard back from my independent garage door guy - the Genie 6170H-B (battery backup) would cost me $785 each installed. $2355 for 3 garage doors is a non-starter - especially since I would still be relying on a cloud-based connection that could be turned off at any time - ala MyQ. My local dealer quoted me a little over $900 for the following: 2 - Z2IO devices 3 - NYCE Tilt Sensors CA-1 controller 3 - Garadgets The CA-1 is to expand the mesh on that end of the house. I have 1 C4 dimmer in the garage for outdoor lights and it is controlled just fine. But on the other side of the wall is a guest bedroom and the thermostat keeps going offline. I am going to swap it with another thermostat for a couple of days to see if it is the mesh and the thermostat itself is going belly up. On the install, I do the labor, and he will do the remote integration. Thoughts on this plan are greatly appreciated.

So I figured it out. There is a PTZ button, and once that window opens - it doesn’t seem very intuitive but tapping on “test” button brings up the controls. On another note, I could use a little feedback on how the cameras are aimed/zoomed. Shown in the photo is the current setup. I do plan to add more cameras as the budget allows. I think the camera looking at the front door needs to be aimed down a little more and maybe zoom out a little more.

I am a Costco member, but my current openers are torsion bar style, and want to stick with that. We have an in-law apt over the garage for my mom and belt/chain drive openers are just too loud. Thanks for the idea, checking Costco to see if they sell the 6170. Edit: Unfortunately they don't.

Please let us know if you get a reply. I am currently waiting on a quote from a local installer to swap out the power heads to Genie 6170s.

After a few security related events at the house, I wanted a few cameras installed. My dealer came out today and installed a Luma 510 NVR and 4 cameras. Since I don't do Windows I am using Luma VMS for Mac. I am having a little trouble finding the proper settings to adjust the zoom on a couple of the cameras. Anyone have any tips on helping me find how to adjust the zoom? Thanks, Mike

Thanks for the reply Alan. I guess I can always just set the plasma and guide vane swings using the OEM remote, and control the system using C4. One additional question: my C4 controller is quite a distance from the two in-wall units. Would I be better off adding a couple of Zigbee light dimmers in between the controller and in-wall units, or try to find really long IR emitter cables and home-running those to the controller?

Alan, I am seriously considering adding this to my system but I have a few questions before spending the money on the driver and dealer programming. My dual zone HVAC system is made by LG. - My system has a plasma function for air purification. Is your driver able to enable/disable this function? - The wall units have left/right and up/down guide vanes. Can the driver control the swing of these vanes like the handheld remote can? - Is the driver able to control both indoor units? If so, do I need my dealer to install two instances of the driver, one for each room? - If one indoor unit is set to heat, and the other is set to cool, the unit will throw an error. Can the driver be set to prevent selecting different modes on the two indoor units? Thanks, Mike
