ADDING ICONS TO ROOM
South Africa C4 user replied to C4YYZPVR's topic in General Control4 Discussion
Open the hamburger menu (top left). Hold down on the listen icon in this menu and you will have the option to favourite to the room. If listen has disappeared from this menu (unlikely in my opinion) then you have a bigger issue. Call your dealer. He will probably need to fix things in Composer. -
Interesting comment. I have an IntelliCenter at one home and an IntelliTouch at the other. The C4 integration is slightly better on the IntelliTouch (older system). The Pentair Home App is better than the ScreenLogic App but not that much better unless you have a really large system (more than 8 pumps or a need for more than 10 features that are not physical circuits).
-
There are 3 or 4 IntelliTouch drivers out there. I think I have tried all of them. The only one that I would recommend is the bNet Solutions driver. It is (in my view) the best pool driver out there and has better (more complete) integration than any other pool driver I have seen and I have seen many Pentair and other pools connected to Control4. It is also the only IntelliTouch driver that I have seen which 100% reliably gives 2 way control to the various Pentair circuits etc.

I am excited to say that my dealer is updating me now. Does anyone know what updates OS3.4.2 contains?

Room or Device variable?
South Africa C4 user replied to Popolou's topic in Programming with Composer
isn’t there a roomID variable? If that is all there is (I can’t recall anything else) then you would need a macro to convert this to a string name… Same thing for DeviceID but not necessarily practical to have a macro for, say, 1000 devices. -
Whistle Projects - Agent Variables

I must say I like the idea of multiple instances where you can choose which variables to display in a given instance… -
Double-tap bug
South Africa C4 user replied to marc4's topic in Troubleshooting, Workarounds, & Bugs
I can definitely see how this would be super annoying. Not an issue in our house as every important keypad has a room off, or suite off button and often a House off button which we use for turning off multiple loads. -

Doorbell on touchscreens tone
South Africa C4 user replied to chicagod's topic in General Control4 Discussion
Huh! You seem to be confusing 2 distinctly different things. Including (or excluding) the Touchscreens in the announcement simply determines whether or not the Touchscreens play (or don’t play) your MP3 file when the doorbell is rung. Whether or not the Toichsdreens show the vide from your doorbell camera when the bell is pressed is determined by what Touchscreens you have included in the call (either via properties in the Chime driver or in programming of a group call from the Chime driver). Follow @Cyknight advice if you want to achieve what you originally asked. -

Email Template shortcut?
South Africa C4 user replied to georgetv's topic in General Control4 Discussion
Another option is to insert variables into the email (eg a string with the name of the window). I do this a lot. -
Control4 Announces Core Light - Halo Touch Bundle
South Africa C4 user replied to DawnGordon's topic in Control4 Hardware
What does the Control Light give you compared to a Core1? Could this replace EA1s behind TVs and give OSD? Zigbee? -
I guess it depends on many things including how quickly your amps turn on and how many zones you are airplaying to. My kids use ShairBridge regularly and never complain. I did a quick test on my system now (first time I’ve personally used ShairBridge in years) and it took me 3 seconds to hear sound (playing to 3 zones on a 12 year old amp).
-
I’ve had this problem once or twice (in the four or five years since the Bridge driver was released) but it has always gone away by itself within a day or two). Admittedly, I only have 4 or 5 Apple TVs at each of my residences. Certain actions also cause this (eg Refresh Navigators) but I cannot think of anything that would / should cause this continuously. I wonder if the number of Apple TVs is creating an issue?

Whistle Projects - Agent Variables
South Africa C4 user replied to WhistleProjects's topic in Third Party Software
This has been needed for a long long time. I’ve used so many different work arounds for this over the years that it is scary. Well done! -
Control 4 and static electricity
South Africa C4 user replied to MrsRingers1's topic in General Control4 Discussion
I have one keypad where I occasionally got a static shock from until I changed the carpet (the change in carpet was unrelated but removed the issue). This did reboot the keypad. The shock was scarcely noticeable just a minor spark / static sound and the merest of tingles. -
Double-tap bug
South Africa C4 user replied to marc4's topic in Troubleshooting, Workarounds, & Bugs
Interesting! I understand what you are saying and tried simultaneously pushing button 1 and button 2 on a six button keypad and I also got the (unexpected) double click of button 2. I don’t think pushing two buttons together is recommended but it should not do this! The only time I have used pushing 2 buttons at the same time is with one of the Domosapiens keypad drivers which is specifically designed to allow for pushing the up and down arrows simultaneously. -
I recall when I got my first IP controlled LG (5 years ago) that I was advised to get the Annex4 driver as it was much more reliable than the native driver for IP control (particularly on / off functionality). I have no idea if that is (still) true but I’ve had no regrets with the Annex4 driver and it has been rock solid.
