Uh-Wise reacted to Cyknight in Best way to migrate from 2.10.6 to 3.3.1 (HC to CORE)
IF there is an EA or CA controler in the system, move the zigbee mesh to that controller
Back up the project.
On the back up delete all the non supported controllers. Even if any EA or CA controller is to be removed, leave it in.
Load back up to the new controller, add new controllers, move zigbee over to new controller(s) if possible.
If there is no EA or CA:
If you have one available, temp add it to the system, move zigbee to it/them.
Then as per above.
If you can't get an EA or CA in...well you will have to rebuild the zigbee network.
Set controller to 'join using' the new controler for zigbee, and go around and do the 13-4-13 followed by the 4 tap to join (you won't have to re-ID this way, just go light by light - actually sounds worse than it is)

Uh-Wise reacted to Cyknight in Will older Control4 Thermostats (NOT Aprilaire's C4-THERM, the older smaller ones) work on CORE processors on 3.3.1?
Weeeeel. Not quite.
Yes in and of itself the old t-stats will work fine on Core controllers but there are a few notes:
-To connect older devices to an HC250/800 series, EA/CA series or CORE series controller, it MUST be upgraded to ZigBeePro (the old version Embernet, dates back to BEFORE 1.8) and you'll need an HC300/500 controller running an older version (pre 2.6, maybe still on 2.6) to be able to update them. Frankly if they're on embernet....you're better of replacing the device.
-SOME old devices cannot be updated to zigbee pro, so if they were embernet products, they're done (Card Access sensors, but not all)
-SOME 1st gen devices don't 'like' new controller and devices zigbee chips (mainly if not only the very oldest lighting devices from C4, as in the first roll-out of the old style dimmers/switches/keypads)) - you'll need to ensure there are some 'newer' old style lighting in the system to get them to work (ie use as an in between) and even then they can be unresponsive.

Uh-Wise got a reaction from Matt Lowe in After upgrading to 3.2.4, I can't find the Director on the user app or Composer
Just in case anyone wanders around here, yes, there was a network switch with QoS and IGMP Snooping in the way.

typically a network related issue. Something on your network maybe filtering network packets. if uninstalling the app does not fix it you will need to contact tech for help narrowing down the issue.

Uh-Wise reacted to alanchow in Fan Speed Controller with integrated Light Switch or Dimmer (in One Gang)
This fan speed controller will allow multispeed bi-directional control and feedback over the fan and also dim the attached lighting load with full control integration

Some fans already have this technology built in so no need to retrofit
eg

If however the fan your customer surprises you with is RF controlled then you can probably utilise the Bond Bridge which will learn the RF code and replicate it.

All of this is possible via this driver
