Wattsup

What does not seem right is that if you are not a dealer (or associated with a dealer) you should not legally have access to Pro.  If you are a dealer (or associate) then you wouldn’t be asking these questions.

Universal Mini apps are drivers available through Control4's online database, that work with app-enabled devices, that allow you to show the icon for the service on the user interfaces, and when those service icons are chosen, the device providing the service is selected.
They are 'universal' in the sense that there is not a specific Netflix mini-app for Roku, and a different one for Amazon Fire TV.  It's the same mini-app, it can connect to either of the devices that supply the service.
It's a nice addition to Control4's UI, and makes it easy for dealers to directly expose services to the UI for the homeowner.

Hi Folks,
I’m the Manager of the Mobile and Embedded UI teams at Control4. I’m sorry to hear that you are having issues with your T3s! As has been confirmed we had an issue with doorstations calling T3s which results in long early media delays (when you first see the video before answering). We have a fix and it is currently being tested. I think everyone will be pleasantly surprised by the intercom performance when the fix is released. The  posts about a one to two week turn around is still accurate. I also want to assure you that we have an internal process in place to make sure we avoid these types of issues happening again. This specific issue was due to not testing calls from a doorstation to T3 on a large system. We have different scale racks with 18+ touch panels around the company, but the team responsible for this kind of testing hasn’t had the access they need. We are currently working on fixing that.
Re the other T3 issue the OP referred to, I am unaware of that particular issue. Please work with your dealer to send us the system logs. We are very interested in taking a look.
I appreciate everyone’s patience as we work through these issues! This was a HUGE release with a lot of moving parts. The great thing about Control4 is most of the employees are also customers. We want our houses to work well too! I have seven touch panels (4 in-wall, 3 table top). If my system doesn’t work well my family lets me know. 
Thank you for reading, sorry it was a long one 😁

Wap - when are the HDMI rants going to start?

control4 and icons - never got this right yet - need to sub contract this to a design company. 

This thread is comical with all the insiders and SEC Lawyers...
To the insiders... "Silence is Golden"
To the SEC Lawyer wannabes... "Don't quit your day job"
Nothing to see here folks, lets all move on and talk about all the geeky things we are doing with our control systems and get back to being the quirky and strange folks we all really are. 

One of the best threads we have had for years - cheers 

Snap's 'partnering' and buyouts have been a mixed bag. Just look at Houselogix and how that basically killed that company.
No issues with Snap as such, for their core business, but I wouldn't judge what happens in this scenario based on that at all (Same if it were the other way around mind you, C4 has the same mixed bag of how they handled take-overs).
Note that I'm not expecting it to go bad - just not expecting it to go good either, it's going to be a big wait and see. That is arguably the one thing I really don't like at this point - wait and see is not my favorite approach

Which we have seen at least a couple of times that I can think of. Sure it's nice while they work, until they don't work... then you're stuck.
I am constantly trying new drivers and devices in my system to stay on top of things. My system is solid and IP drivers don't just "stop" working. I don't know what kind of networks people have out there that have had such poor luck with IP control. But to me, that's a poor network design or implementation that is causing the issues, and needs to be addressed. DO IP drivers solve every problem? No. Is it nice when an IP driver is available over IR or Serial? Sure.
I'm not seeing the huge draw for control of game consoles, either. Maybe for DVD/Blu-ray control but that's it? It's a game console, that's why it has a game controller with it. If you want "rock solid" control for video playback, buy a dedicated player for that particular media. Otherwise, complaints need to be made to the manufacturers of these devices (Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, etc.).This is not a Control4 problem, they have no control (no pun intended) over what these console manufacturers do or don't want to allow.
EDIT: And long ago I thought IR capabilities on the remotes might be nice, but that just introduces too many variables. Using your phone or tablet to control the room? Out of luck. Didn't point the remote perfectly at a picky device? Out of luck. The list goes on.

Thought I'd show you guys a little of what I've been working with.  So far, it's been very snappy and stable.

documenting this is tedious.. i've come up with a few examples of how you can use the IFTTT driver with Control4 but will add more as i go along with the documentation.
EXAMPLES
Outbound (Control4 > IFTTT)

Control4 can send SMS’s via your Android phone (IF app must be downloaded to the phone) Control4 can save data about the events in your home in google docs or dropbox. Control4 can send emails out without 4sight or 3rd party driver Control4 can send push notifications out without 4sight or 3rd party driver (using pushalot, pushbullet or pushover) Control4 can send Skype messages Control4 can send Google Glass notifications (with Message, Image URL and URL fields). Control4 can send notifications to your Android wear device (requires IF app installed). Control4 can send your BMW (Connected Drive Compatible) a message on your car’s front screen display (120 characters limited) Control4 can send your Tesla (EVE enabled) a message (with subject, message and message type fields) on your car’s dashboard Control4 can turn on or off your GE Smart Appliance and more. Control4 can tell your Android phone to turn on/off Bluetooth or wifi (might be useful when you’re leaving or coming back home). Tell the world via Facebook what your home is upto (might not be a good idea).
 
Inbound (IFTTT < Control4)

Amazon Alexa (Amazon Echo, Tap, etc) can send commands to Control4 via voice recognition to do things like turn lights on, play music, house off and more. Assissant.ai can send commands to Control4 via voice recognition Control4 can read out stock prices or notify you when they raise or lower (requires Chowmain Advanced Announcements Driver) iOS Location and Android Location (via the IF app) can tell Control4 when you are approaching or leaving home. Your BMW (Connected Drive Compatible) can tell Control4 when it is entering or exiting an area. Your EVE enabled Tesla car can tell Control4 when it has arrived home, is leaving home or on the way home. Your Automatic, Zubie or Dash enabled car can tell Conrol4 when you have turned the car on or off within a certain area. Your GE, LG and Samsung Smart appliances can tell Control4 when it has been turned on, off, if for example an oven timer is done, if there is a leak in the dishwasher, if the filter needs cleaning, if the dryer cycle has finished, if the fridge door has been left open for too long, Your Nest Protect smoke alarm can send Control4 smoke emergency, warning and carbon monoxide emergencies Your Netatmo Welcome can tell Control4 when a specific person, known person or even an unknown person has been seen or arrives home (facial recognition) Your Roost Smart Battery can tell Control4 (via the announcement agent) when its battery is low (Great for smoke alarms). If the temperature (via weather forecast/conditions) changes in your area tell Control4 to do something. Your Android phone can tell Control4 when it has connected or disconnected to/from a specific Wifi network

This means that you can now tell any device connected to IFTTT to do an action and vice versa. You will need to program Control4 and IFTTT to react to the actions performed but can be extemely powerful. 
Some ideas that pop to my head are. 
Use Amazon Alexa (Echo, Tap, Dot and more) to control Control4.  Tell Control4 to turn specific devices on when you are coming home or leaving home via Android/IOS Location or via one of the supported connected cars (BMW, Tesla, etc)  Have Control perform actions to any IFTTT channel when you security system arms or disarms  Control your GE Appliances (Dishwashers, Dryers, Refrigerators, Washers, etc)  Control your LG Dryers and Washers  Control your Samsung Air Purifier, Air Conditioners, Refrigerators, Vacuums and Washers  Have Bttn, Blink and other DIY electronics integrated  Integrate your wearables. Haven't achieved your daily goal? Get Control4 to notify you using the announcement agent (or Chowmains Advanced Announcements driver)  Use Assistant.AI's virtual assistant to control your home.  Use Android Wear to control Control4!  and soooo much more.
