    ? Standard driver works fine for me and we've done lots.

    One thing to note is is the size of the snapshot image file (can be set in camera - should be 200k)

    snapshot url is just [IP]/images/snapshot.jpg

    Can you Please share the driver you have the uniview cameras working?

    A while back I posted that my dealer wanted to charge me to come out and plan my garage door integration (still never recovered from MyQ driver fail).  My new plan is to do the design and install myself and have my dealer do the programming plus provide the 2 Z2IOs (I have 2 garage doors).  My request to this group is help reviewing the plan to see if I learned what I was supposed to from all the great previous posts on this topic - thanks in advance.

    My goals are to control the opening/closing of the garage doors with Control4, display the current open/closed status of the garage doors, carry over the previous programming I had on buttons related to coordinated lighting, plus introduce new push notifications of door open too long, etc.  The components that I believe will provide those capabilities are:

    • 2 x Z2IOs to provide the relay control and contact sensing capabilities; I think I have Zigbee presence in the garages now via switches for outdoor lights plus in the rooms immediately adjacent
    • 2 X Liftmaster Security+ 2.0 Dry Contact Adaptors to provide the interface between the Z2IO relay control and Liftmaster motors
    • 2 X Rail mounted magnetic contact sensors

    I included a diagram of the connections.  I plan to mount the Z2IOs and Dry Contact Adaptors on the ceiling above the Liftmaster motors.  I'm lucky in that as part of the original install, Cat 5 cables were run inside the walls from the garage door safety sensors back to the motors - I plan to utilize an unused pair in the Cat 5 run to get the contact sensors presence back to the Z2IOs.  Power for the Z2IOs will come from the "wall" outlet in the ceiling serving the motors.

    The biggest risk I see in the project is Zigbee presence in the garage.  I believe it's there, but I don't have a meter or anything to validate it.  Do SR260's run on Zigbee or wifi?  Maybe I could test control with an SR up by the motor?  Does it look like I have wiring termination points correct?

    Here are the specific parts I plan on purchasing:

    I considered the NYCE tilt sensors, but ended up selecting the magnetic contact sensors so there are no batteries and my perception of less maintenance with the wired sensors.

    I'm currently on v3.0.0 and want to upgrade to most current version via this install.

    Finally, any recommendations for automation / notification that you find most useful?

    Thanks for your help - it is greatly appreciated.

    Did you test it and works?
