I don’t think the driver gives you full control, but rather let’s you use the HC200’s inputs and outputs rather than simply brick it. But I may be wrong...

Only 3 rules: 1. Back up 2. Back up 3. Refer to rule 1and, if in doubt, refer to rule 2. Abide by these 3 rules and HE is great fun and anything you break is easy to fix so your dealer can not blame you...

A system with 4 devices (some on wall) sounds like a multi-Room system which ideally should have a stronger controller - EA3 or EA5

Hmmm... CA1’s are a new (non-AV) controller and I have no experience with them. One of the real experts ( @Cyknight, @msgreenf, @Matt Lowe Etc.) would need to chime in on this one.

On the current generation products, licenses are unlimited (if not actually, practically. I.e. at least 50). Not sure about an older director though. I’ve seem posts about limited licenses but all before my time as a user.

Good point on camera pop ups. I updated my previous post for other readers.

You don’t lose much functionality; however, the always on and direct connection of the T3 touchscreens is a big plus. You lose intercom (soon to be launched for the iPad anyway) and the weather link from the home screen (you can link this elsewhere - e.g. in comfort with an appropriate driver. You also lose page jumping to a camera. Apart from that, a few drivers won’t work on the iPad (mainly those using a direct web interface so there are workarounds for these). My 2 cent recommendation would be to always use a T3 touchscreen for on the wall integration (due to the first point above) and use an iPad (or other tablet) for all remote use.

Some caps in there also, I think. But as someone said, it is in the driver documentation and Be Careful!

Control4 has a free Experience button that does just that...

I’ve had a similar problem on OS upgrades before. I would try deleting the Screensaver agent and Re-adding the agent. You may also need to do a reboot after doing this. Good luck!

+1 for DSC although my dealer is trying to convince me to use Paradox (which he claims is better) in my beach house (building project)

They have one that does (they have 3 or 4 of these drivers)... but I found it a bit buggy (I was able to work around the bugs) and I preferred the clean look of the display only and so now use these with Experience buttons (Blackwire emoji driver) for increasing and decreasing the values.

While you wait for Alan’s development (which I know will be top notch), you may want to try the Yatun Temperature Display Driver. It allows you to do what you are after. I have 12 of these in a separate variable room (to view and control 12 variables) and three experience buttons, one of which cycles through which variable I want to change and two of which increase / decrease the variable in question...

It was touch and go both ways! Fortunately time heals!

Most likely

The easiest way is to create a toggle scene in advanced lighting and then use the toggle command. I think from your post that you have done the second half of this but not the first?

It certainly works well and the Amazon Polly TTS engine is great! @Gary Leeds UK: a couple of hints on programming: 1. Create a separate announcement (polly1, polly2 etc.) for every different set of rooms you want audio to play in. E.g. I am looking at PollyWholeHouse, PollyOutside, PollyBedrooms, PollyUpstairs, PollyDownstairs and PollyMainBedroom 2. I find it useful to put the Polly execution in a macro and use a string variable for what Polly says. E.g. a simple set of commands for me would be: -> PollyString = ‘Good night sir” (after all, no one else calls me sir) -> execute PollyMainBedroom macro where PollyString is a string variable I created and my PollyMainBedroom macro includes the following two commands: -> PollyAnnouncement (PollyString,,,,,) using the PollyMainBedroom driver -> Execute PollyMainBedroom announcement Excuse the syntax which is all wrong as I am not in front of my PC but you get the idea. What I have described above is way more complex than necessary but makes it very versatile for future programming. Injecting variables into the string is easy and you can do something funky things as Eddy has pointed out. I’ve even tried emailing my personal Gmail account with a message titled “C4 Polly” and have it speak the body of the email... Using Alan’s IFTTT driver to get the email into a string via Pushover. This freaked my wife out... probably because I sat at the office and emailed “I’m watching you” which then was played through our bedroom speakers . That almost spelled the end of my relationship with C4!

Good question... I believe intellicenter has now been launched (November) although I can't find it on Pentairs site but can find YouTube' videos of it...

Fair point although I had 2 installed and setup like this in my first house (must be more than 10 years back) and they are still working (or, at least, were 2 months ago). I also have 2 or 3 setup like this in my current house but they are only 4 years old.

If they work now, the 'dimmer' is unlikely to stop working for these bulbs... Be careful when you replace them as that is when issues may arise.

If it works now, there should be no real issue awaiting you unless you change the bulb to something non-dimmable that also does not work with the hack to make a dimmer behave as a switch.

So for someone on 2.9.1, the following applies: Right arrow should be nesting... Yes, you can have multiple ifs. They can be nested or not. If not nested, then they will happen one after the other unless you use a stop statement in which case if the execution gets to the stop statement (due to the relevant condition being true) then no further lines of code will be executed.

On 2.9.1 you can use the stop statement nested under an if then whatever you code after the if will essentially be an else...

Right arrow should be nesting... Yes, you can have multiple ifs. They can be nested or not. If not nested, then they will happen one after the other unless you use a stop statement or else (os2.10 only).

Dealer should be figuring out why it is crashing rather than simply rebooting to solve the problem. There are various ways to reboot including a couple of drivers that will let you do this from the navigator. However, the real key here is have the dealer solve the (very) frustrating root problem.
