Control4 coming to an ADI branch near you!

Control4 coming to an ADI branch near you!

What was the name of the third party appleTV driver that supposedly has Mini Driver support?  A link would be appreciated if someone has it.  I am blanking on this and cannot find the discussion about it.

TIA

Any update on this?

Can you make a shortcut to open Netflix?

you could save some money and add a fusion duet.  You get two additional streams plus the integrated spotify.  They also have a single source if you only want to add a single source.

Love a good Black Ball being thrown.  Maybe we have a new discussion group in the making called "Black Balls."

It should be discovered and you can add it from there and the driver will come over. 

I found out the issue.  There is a defect in the Yale driver from Control4.  They have a defect logged for this.

Having an issue and I am stumped.  

Yale Lock in my project.  I have created a push notification with "${Security->Front Door::USER_NAME} has unlocked the front door" but when I unlock the door, I don't get the user name.  

Is my syntax incorrect?

FYI our Splash-tiles.com tool is very similar to Dakboard.

cannot seem to get to that site.

Great suggestion. Just added an old Rpi that I had laying around on to our matrix.  Loaded the Dakboard OS, added in our calendars and a few photos and voila.  My wife thinks it’s fantastic.

I have a pi coming Monday.  I am looking forward to this.  Thinking I may end up with two.  One for my office and another one for the Family.  I will probably set it to auto turn on in the morning and off at the end of the day in my office and have it turn on in the bedroom and kids room every morning.

Good idea, I have been running the free version on some multimonitor PCs, but this seems like a good idea if I could dedicate a Pi to it.

Wondering if anyone has a DAKBoard in their project.

I was looking to buy one and found they are back ordered.  I noticed I could get a Raspberry Pi and run the DAKBoard from that and add it to the video matrix and have it available on all TV's in the house.  Anyone doing this?  Is it worth the time?  is there something better out there?

I don't do a lot of locks.  I normally get them from c4 but picked them up at ADI on an impulse. Did not even consider.

Do you have to buy the locks from C4?  Is the zigbee module specific to C4?  I picked up a set of zigbee locks from ADI and I can only get them to lock and unlock.. 

 I was able to get the lock to where it shows online but all I can do is lock and unlock it.  I cannot set the auto lock or add users.  I picked up the lock from ADI and not through control4.  

I am using the "Yale Real Living" driver and not the "Yale Smart Locks" driver.  In order to get the lock online, I had to manually add the device address in identification screen.

I am able to see the status as "Bound,Online" for the device in system design but when I look at zigbee it says offline.

I am having a similar problem.  I was able to get the lock to where it shows online but all I can do is lock and unlock it.  I cannot set the auto lock or add users.  I picked up the lock from ADI and not through control4.

Here is my question and I am afraid of the answer.  Do I have to purchase the lock from Control4?  Is the zigbee module control4 specific or should the zigbee module that came with the lock from ADI work?

Just my general thoughts.

I put all of my clients on a 10.0.10.0/24.  If they have a VERY large home, I may go with a /23 and have a DHCP range with 254 addresses.

1 is the gateway.  2-9 are switches 10-19 are AP's.  20-29 are storage appliances. 30-59 are other devices like C4, Apple TV's, TV's etc...  60-79 are for cameras.

I am big on static IP's.  I really don't like to do reservations for gear that should not change.  I also try and set things up using either Google or Cisco for DNS.  

All of that said, I am a Ubiquiti reseller.  I use a USG Pro 4 or UDM Pro for the router.  I never use the USG.  For switches I use the Pro 48 POE or Pro 24 Poe.  I always put a separate switch in the AV rack and connect it to the 48 Port via a 10 gig SFP using fiber.  I also connect back to the router from the 48 with 10 gb fiber.  Over kill?  Maybe, but the 75 bucks that costs is worth not having  bottlenecks or over subscription that can occur.

I have a contract with hostifi for the clients that have the USG Pro's.  I don't use the cloud key unless a client specifically asks for it.

I have been using the AC-Pro Ap's but am starting to look at the U6 Lite's and the Nano HD's as the AC-Pro's get older.  I also use a lot in in wall AP's.  They are great fro homes that have no land line but where cat5/6 was used for telephone jacks and not daisy chained.

I know Ubiquiti is on the NO NO list but I have not had any issues. (Knock on Wood)

Try the intrinsic dev IP driver, much better than the c4 native one. 

OMFG, where has this been all my life.  I put it in and it JUST WORKS!!  THANK YOU.  Now if only mini drivers would work with it!  I can only dream!?!?!

After upgrading to 3.2.1 this has resolved the issue. 

I am having the same issue and I am on 3.2.1.  the remote is constantly disconnecting and reconnecting.  I am on the latest appleTV driver using homekit.  The devices have a static IP.  The apple remote on my phone is the only way I can control them.  I have a 4k connected to an onkyo.  a 4k HDR connected to an onkyo and two 4g apple TV's connected to a video matrix.  I have bounced C4 and the apple TV's over and over.  All of the apple TV's are in separate rooms in homekit.

One additional bit of info:  I am running a /24 vlan, UDM Pro connected to an XG-16 SFP Switch via 10g fiber with three 48 port switches off the xg-16 via 10g fiber.  Also have some other switches with 1 gb fiber as well as ap's off one of the 48 port switches.  i am running DPI and IDS from the UDM Pro.  I realize Ubiquiti is on the naughty list with C4 but I have lots of clients with this setup that have ZERO issues

This has been going on for a while.  It's frustrating.  I about ready to rip the damn bridge driver out and move it to the new IR driver 

Thoughts appreciated.

Client is on 2.10.6

Already has an older model Apple TV using the IP driver.

Wants to add a new 4k AppleTV in addition to the older one.  Added the current driver and Bridge but the bridge has a message that the driver is not supported in the current version.  The documentation says its works with 2.10.6.  Is the problem the older AppleTV?  Do I have to get rid of it?  It will not be a problem to ditch the old one but why take it out if it's not necessary?  

I noticed the kind posting of a new IT driver and was thinking I would give that a whirl but wanted to ask if anyone had any thoughts.

Thanks in advance

My own opinion is that apple wants you to land on their home page and not go directly into an app.

I am sure they do but they need to be more open minded like the Academy of Motion Pictures.  Just MHO.

Is there any chance Control4 and Apple will come to Jesus and add AppleTV support to the Universal Drivers?  It would sure be nice if I could have a Netflix icon that opens up Netflix on my AppleTV!!

i found what i was looking for.  in case anyone else in interested.  

Is there a trick to having multiple TV's show up in the menu in the same room or do I have to create a room for each TV.  Clients has a main TV and then a left and right for xbox. The main shows up but not the other two.  I added the main TV to the room first.

Thanks in advance.
