Wrt the 2.9 project: SSL cert patch needs to be applied? I'd suggest using Bluestacks and installing the Control4 OS 2 Android app instead anyway. The Flash/Air app was already pretty broken/outdated by the time 2.9 was released. For example, the Shade UI was not updated. EDIT: Oops, sorry, at first I didn't notice the OP was from 2017.

I have actually used this in a private cinema to control adjustable (motorized) seats easily from their iPad. Two custom buttons - Up/Down. Up pressed → close Up relay → start moving; Up released → open Up relay → stop moving and so on. In their second cinema years later I used the 2 Relay Blind (OS2.9+) driver with Use Levels enabled so they can now set the seat position with 0-100% sliders without having to press & hold buttons. (The downside is that the controls are hidden under Shades.)

Hello David, thank you for addressing the issue so quickly. I was (and still am) unfortunately overloaded with our dealer training so I was not able to reply with updates in timely manner. You got it right - only the navigator on the primary/director EA controller was affected. Slave controllers and T3 touch screens were unaffected. I've documented the whole troubleshooting process on the official Control4 dealer forums I've linked in the original post. Not sure if you have access. As for the 'backdoor-ish shenanigans' - I was almost certain the intent was not malicious (you wouldn't have made a backdoor so obvious), but it sure did raise my suspicions as such modifications of the controller/OS by drivers are highly… unusual. Looking forward to using your drivers again. Any plans to document the binding/'API' for the MQTT driver so we can develop 3rd-party device drivers?

Same as Xiaomi, can be flashed with a firmware that disables the Chinese spyware/cloud, adds RTSP, ONVIF, MQTT control/events etc. Last time I tried the motorized 1080p version, the stream was really stable only up to 720p. It's fun toy to play with though. I'm planning to use it to monitor/record my bengal cats' shenanigans. https://hackernoon.com/hacking-a-25-iot-camera-to-do-more-than-its-worth-41a8d4dc805c Also be aware there are multiple generations of these cameras, each using different SoC and different firmware. So there are multiple CFW projects. https://github.com/EliasKotlyar/Xiaomi-Dafang-Hacks https://github.com/TheCrypt0/yi-hack-v4 https://github.com/anmaped/openfang/

If you've started having issues with the navigator on your (main) EA controller (unable to display IP cameras, weather station data or music service covert art 10-15 minutes since reboot) and you have the Berto Cloud driver in your project, that's most probably what's causing the issue. The driver's backdoori-ish behavior (to open its own OpenVPN tunnel in addition to Control4's) includes tampering with controller's Linux OS configuration including the firewall (iptables). In doing so, it breaks networking for the LXC container running the Android navigator. I've reported the issue to Control4 and now to the author of the driver. https://github.com/davidmassot/Berto/issues/9 For Control4 dealers interested in more detail: https://forums.control4.com/fb.aspx?m=468363

I'd set up two rooms in Control4 for this. E.g. Living Room (AVR) & Living Room (TV). IMO there is no sane way around this. Set the AVR room's video's audio end-point 1 & video volume 1 to the AVR output. Set the TV room's video's audio end-point 1 & video volume 1 to the TV output. Use the respective rooms' POWER_STATE variables so that when the AVR room is turned on, turn off the TV room, and vice versa. Also when the TV room is on, enable your receiver's HDMI Audio passthrough and disable it when the AVR room is on. And so on.

Even Composer Express works in it. And Intercom Anywhere - somewhat (I think I could not get the camera in my laptop working with it, but I could see the other side, e.g. DS2 door station; can't remember if there was any issue with audio.) I use that to show all the apps during our trainings.

Bluestacks runs on macOS too.

No it's not. https://jisho.org/search/panja (The name listed there is not even a proper Japanese name, might be some Korean-Japanese or Sino-Japanese, dunno.)

Actually Control4 has been using SIP for their intercom since the beginning. There's even a generic SIP client driver provided by Control4 and a generic SIP door station driver provided by an external developer. SIP is not Crestron's protocol at all. It's an open IETF standard/spec. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3261

We use PlanetWaves custom-length cables.

Hi David, that’s neat. I will give it a try. I have flashed a Neo Coolcam Wi-Fi wall plug (currently controlling it simply via HTTP) and I’m planning to flash my Mi LED Desk Lamp, both with Espurna. Would be nice to have lightV2 dimmer sliders for the LED lamp (one for brightness, one for color temperature). By the way, I think that the c4z files could be considered ‘releases’ (GitHub has a feature for that), they probably don’t belong to the git repo itself. EDIT: Nevermind, I’ve just noticed you publish only the encrypted Lua portion of the drivers anyway, not the actual source code (not sure if that’s what’s GitHub intended for).

Aha! I replied to the e-mail from which I got the original licence key for our showroom, that's why. Thanks, I'll send it to the proper address.

Hi Josh, I sent you a couple of e-mails recently to <sup.varietassoftware.com@gmail.com>, we moved our showroom to a new controller. Did they get through?

Good to know you are alive and kicking, Joshua. Let's grab a beer if you come to Prague sometime.

I think something like this could be useful too: function OnDriverLateInit() OnPropertyChanged("Webview URL") end (Otherwise it doesn’t seem to work after director reboot.)

True, true.

https://www.blackwiredesigns.com/store/c4-generic-url-driver/ (Although it’s pretty simple to make your own one-off driver if you don’t mind having the URL hard-coded in the XML.)

By the way, if you are a Control4 dealer, you should be able to download the DriverWorks SDK & DriverEditor 3.0. The DriverEditor should also contain some AV switch driver template/example. I'm not saying it would be easy but AV switch drivers are probably one of the easiest driver types to program for Control4.

LOL thanks Gary!
