  1. Are there any camera drivers that allow you to set the preset names (that appear in the Control4 navigators) for a PTZ camera (so that one is not stuck with Preset 1, Preset 2 etc.). Ideally, this should be available as variables for programming against; however, setting the, in driver properties or importing them from the camera itself would also work. If there are any such drivers, does anyone know if there is one that works with Lilin IP cameras?
  2. I think the issue lies in the programming rather than a bug. I may well be wrong though. Can you post screenshots of your programming?
  3. This is exactly what I think would solve (work around) the underlying problem.
  4. Hmmm… that is an interesting idea. Not practical at this stage for those of us using text to speech drivers which don’t (currently) have a volume option. @Shivam Paw - still love your text to speech driver. Is there any way to add a volume setting in the driver (I.e. increase the volume of the recorded announcement) instead of using a higher volume in the announcement that is being played. That would solve the problem highlighted above.
  5. Control4 announcements have a similar problem when switching back to music. The switch back happens too fast compared to the volume change (reduction in most cases) to revert to normal volume. No amount of playing around with delays in the announcement agent ever fixed this for me. I must say this sort of thing is one of the most irritating things about home automation as one expects it to simply work. Glad Josh could fix your issue!
  6. That is strange! I have a number of places where I sync multiple rooms in one go using the room control driver. Are all 3 of your rooms going through the same matrix or do you have multiple matrixes. I have had various issues on Os3.4.1 (and I understand from my dealer that he has other clients with similar problems) with linking zones across different matrices. My problems have not been room control driver specific but it wouldn’t surprise me if I would experience the same problem with the room control driver. Fortunately (for me), most of the zones that I tend to link are across a single matrix (despite having multiple matrices / amps at both my residences).
  7. I set this up so long ago that I am rusty. From memory, you can create multiple room control drivers (and each instance can control multiple rooms) and then link (bind) your volume control to one of them. I also think that on/off linking is an option on the driver (assuming you have chosen multiple rooms).
  8. This is how I do it… linked to one experience button and changing the volume down at the same time.
  9. I’m pretty sure you can do this with the room control driver. I used to use Media Scenes for connecting rooms (and still have this active in some areas of my main residence). In the last few years, all of my programming of this nature has been done with the Room Control driver. It is a free control4 driver that your dealer can install from the driver database and it is easy to use.
  10. I must say, this looks really cool. The only thing that disappoints me is the mould reading. I was very excited to see mould being monitored. But when I read the detail on the Airthings website, it appears that the mould is not actually measured but rather the devices measure the conditions and report on the likelihood of mould (e.g. high humidity makes mould more likely).
  11. Does the Annex4 driver not handle this?
  12. Hear hear! Strongly recommend OS3 and it is simple enough to switch between properties in one app.
  13. Thanks! I m using a USB stick and have tried rebooting the controller (hosting the stick). No luck. What is weird is that the date screensaver is also not working on the T4s. Nor is a custom screensaver using album artwork (and that is Tidal streaming) so basically whenever one of the T4s goes into screensaver mode, it goes to a blank screen. And yet the T3s work perfectly. Quite bizarre!
  14. I’m seeing a few issues on the screensaver agent on the latest OS. Anyone else seeing this? Any suggestions. At both my residences, I can’t view the photos in the Media tab for the Screensaver. I get an invalid location message. Which is nonsense as I can in fact add photos (via the media tab) and they get added to the screensavers and I see them appearing on my touchscreen. Much more seriously, at my Beach house, I have both T3s and T4s and following the first hard reboot after the latest OS update from a few weeks ago, the T4s have stopped showing any screensavers. When a screensaver is present (be it photos, custom with album artwork or date and time), the T4s simply show a blank screen. I have tried the obvious things (rebooting the T4s, a complete rack reboot and refreshing navigators) - none of these work. I also checked an EA controller OSD and the screensaver is working fine there. As I have more than one T4 in the setup, it can’t / shouldn’t be hardware. I haven’t checked the other AA and core controllers but assume they all work fine. Would really appreciate any suggestions as I did the reboot this morning and I already have family members moaning about the “digital photo frames” not working. One doesn’t realise how cool it is until it vanishes. As I’ve not had this problem at my main residence (which also has T4s in the setup), I have to assume that something about my Beach House project is unique and creating the issue in OS3.4.1. The only thing I can think of is the fact that I have T3s and T4s. I don’t have any T3s at my main residence. Either that or some software patch was pushed in the last few days and broke my T4s and I will find the same issue when I go back to my main residence if I do a reboot… TIA
  15. Mine seems to auto update but it may also be my dealer dialling in and updating it fairly regularly
  16. The colour buttons are programmed at room level (choosing the room on the left hand side of composer) and then there is a drop down menu (“command”, from memory) and you choose “red” or “blue” etc. in this drop down menu.
  17. Yes - or at least there used to be one available on the C4 web-site. I must confess to not having looked at it for 7 or 8 years.
  18. Why not set the driver to auto update? I’m pretty sure that the DS2 driver is one of the C4 database drivers that supports this feature? Not that I am necessarily an advocate of this…
  19. I have a custom button that reboots my DS2 using programming. It works perfectly. I am not at home right now to check how the programming works but there is no external hardware involved so it is either a reboot command on the DS2 driver itself or one of these controller reboot drivers (everyone had them at one stage - HouseLogix, Annex4 via their Link driver, Driver Central via its cloud driver etc.) using the IP address to reboot it. I will check when I can.
  20. With Tidal merging its 2 paid for tiers, will users who were on the lower tier and will now gain access to high definition audio have to change anything on the Control4 side of things or will the improved audio simply be heard from 10 April onwards?
