They could simply license my set and I can put the logos on any button style they desire. I designed that glass look myself and it actually looks great on the touch panels because the background shows through.

I think that would be great... Hope C4 is reading and would love them to give icon flexibility to the end user!

Maybe some day soon C4 will give a bunch of standard icons and the ability to link them in from Composer (preferably HE :-))

There does not seem to be much information on pool integration. My pool installer suggests the Hayward Prologic system to control pool lights, temperature, etc. Does anyone know if this will integrate with Control 4?

Thank you

I believe it can be done. Personally I use the Pentair system which integrates fairly well. Very well in fact bar one or two minor bugs...

I don't have any, am an electrical engineer, we do electrical installations and renewable energy for homes and office. I've met few Clients who talked about automation. So I checked online and was able to get some materials on Lutron. I've read a lot about Grafik eye and Homeworks qs, but I want more than just lighting and shades. Some how I came across Control4 and also got know about this Forum.

Definitely the best Home Automation system out there... C4 that is.

Thanks!

As a matter of interest, what is the advantage of a controller reboot over a director restart?

Glad you got it working! The new security proxy really is neat.

Err no he isn't.

For instant disarming purposes only a default user code needs to be added to the driver - which should not be your master code but a normal code

Fair point... I should have dropped the word master!

Good luck! I must say it sounds strange. I am using the DSC driver with the new security proxy and when the dealer set it up we had to choose how many partitions to load and it named them correctly. Can you see all your zones wishing the new security system? It is just possible that your dealer added partition 1 and called it partition 2... But that would be a bit silly!

Your dealer is correct that your master code will need to be entered.

Hi all, I finally get the concord 4 panel with the firmware 4.81 insatll this saturday. I had my dealer installed the updated driver for the interlogix Superbus. The upadte was successful, but the button and are not functional. If I press Arm nothing happens on the alarm. It seems like the can not use my concord 4 from the Control 4 interface.

Please can anyone tell me wat is wrong here. it must the the programming or something. The actual alarm panel is on partion 1, but the C4 integration have partion 2. Does this have anything to do with not being able to use the conrol4 to arm and disarm the system. " I mean nothing works" except the actual alarm panel itself.

I think that you have answered your own question. You can't expect to arm partition 1 when trying to control partition 2. If your actual system only has 1 partition then you need to ask your dealer why he has set up more than one partition on C4 (or why he as set up partition 2 rather than 1 which really won't work). You could try clicking (not sure that one clicks with ones finger... But clicking sounds more correct than touching) where it shows Partition 2. This should give you the option to change to partition 1. You can then try arming from there. That said, reading your description, I am a bit doubtful as to whether partition 1 will have been set up correctly? My best advice is to call your dealer!

Looking at the new UI configuration agent, I suspect that they can really build on this... Maybe bookmarks in OS2.81...

Well we got screensavers for the T3 which is a big step forward and I will now buy one more and put one of my older Touchscreens out to pasture... But we really need bookmarks soon (then I will buy another one and junk an old one). But until we get StartHere or equivalent (which lets me control all my Boolean variables - easily with feedback - from aTouchscreen) I will be keeping an old touch screen in one location...

Agreed! I spent the first week or two fiddling with my thermostat settings 2 winters back (all on my iPad and composer HE) then it was perfect for the whole of winter. This last winter I had to fiddle again for a day or two but only because we had added insulation in the interim and thus the 'perfect' setup was now different... Next winter I expect to press one button (a StartHere button marked 'winter') and hey presto, thermostat schedules will start, my heatpumps will come on and programming will activate...

DSC works great too

You definitely want native C4 thermostats... Not pretty, but easy to integrate!

Yeah... I have one T3 and it is fast and slick... But I won't be updating my other 3 Touchscreens to T3 until I get photo screen savers, bookmarks, custom home and the Start Here App... Or something equivalent / better than all of these... But I have my fingers crossed!

I guess 2.8 will give us some feel for all of this...

Better :-)

And Cy, usually you are one of the best posters on this forum... But that last post is just depressing ;-)

We need apps, photo screen savers, book marks and custom home on the new T3s!

Does anyone know when we will start to see Apps for the T3 Touchscreens? I am just itching to have something new to play with on my single T3... The possibilities must be endless!
