    That kinda look like a SQL application. Are you sure this is from composer?

    Caseta Expansion

    in General Control4 Discussion

    Posted

    So, after the increase to 75 devices AND the addition of fan switches (finally)... I need to add a bunch of switches. However, before I do, I want to make sure I understand the order of events and what I can / can't do in CHE? I can get all the switches, set them all up in Lutron app, but then I will need a dealer to add them into each room in C4 if i want to use them in CF scenes (like turn all off)? Is that correct? 
     
    Thanks guys,

    Correct!
    Lutron hasnt created a driver for the Caseta Fan switches yet, BUT the RA Select Fan driver works flawlessly with Caseta. I personally have about 2 or 3 at home.

    Bath Fan programming

    My last post got tide to the wrong response.

    I would like to investigate the experience button. It sounds easier

    Mine are set to run for 15 min (or 20min - cant remember) when they are manually switched on. Works perfectly fine for my needs.

    Bath Fan programming

    Looking to the best way to automate bathroom fans.  I did some programming when they turned the light on the fan turns on and then when the light went off I delayed the 5 minutes and then the fan shuts off.  What if they don't turn off the light at all but just walk out?   Whats the best way to do this delayed shut off so they don't have fans running all the time?

    Look for Extraction Fan experience button. It also works as a timer.

    How to integrate Hikvision NVR into C4

    in Third Party Hardware

    Posted

    To see cams plugged into the hik nvr, you need to enable the virtual host setting - tell your dealer to look for the appropriate articles on how to do it in the C4 knowledge base (just search for hikvision).
     
    The above is largely correct off the top of my head by the way, but the kb aticles detail the steps.


    And to enable virtual host:

    How to integrate Hikvision NVR into C4

    in Third Party Hardware

    Posted

    What do you want to integrate exactly?

    1) are you trying to control the NVR via control4 (NVR HDMI out going to the TV and control the menus of the NVR)

    2) Or view the camera feeds on mobile phones/C4 GUI?

    For number 1 you need:
    a) C4 customer firmware (seems you already have it)
    b) add the NVR driver to the project
    c) Add the correct IP and credentials (I think it can be done via sddp as well)

    For number 2 you need a camera driver. I use the Generic Camera Driver. There is a post somewhere on this forum where you can get it from. (thats how I do it. Im sure there are better ways to accomplish this, but this works fine for me. The C4 Hikvision camera driver doesnt give me the correct URL stream for some reason)
    a) Download the Generic Camera Driver
    b) Assign the correct IP and Port for each camera. I have the same NVR and for me, this is how I get the streaming URL for each camera:

    NVR's IP: 111.222.333.444

    If using POE:
    Camera1 would be: 111.222.333.444:65001
    Camera2 would be: 111.222.333.444:65002
    Camera3 would be: 111.222.333.444:65003
    and etc.. 

    Now you just have to assign the streaming URL. If you have Hikvision cameras, it should look something like this:

    RSTP: Streaming/Channels/X0Y
    - "X" corresponds the NVR channel
    - "Y" corresponds to the main or sub stream. 

    So, if you want to grab the sub stream of channel number 1, the URL would look something like this: 

    - Streaming/Channels/102

    So, if you want to grab the main stream of channel number 5, the URL would look something like this: 

    - Streaming/Channels/501

    MJPEG: Streaming/channels/2/httppreview

    Snapshot: Streaming/channels/2/picture

    Good luck! :)

    Right - it is all on Apple - but hey, come here and blame control4 half cocked and then you are on a beta OS - so clearly control4 should work on betas without issues....Look in the mirror...

    There is actually an official statement about why it doesnt work on HC controllers but I cant find it. If I do, I will update the thread.

    Lutron Caseta Integration

    Im not sure if you mean to quote my last post, but its the complete opposite of what I said.

    You can create all your scenes within C4 if you want to. Thats how I do it.

    I think some people prefer to create on Lutron’s side to minimize the popcorn effect and maybe reduce the CPU load on C4 controller, since all the processing would be done on Lutron’s side.

    I have approx 70 dimmers/switches/fan total, 2 bridges and only use C4 Advanced lighting for scenes and ramp control. You cant configure ramping on Lutron’s side (AFAIK).
