To recap. You need to contact Hikvision again and inform them and I quote from the documentation: "Please ensure that the recorder has the firmware for Control4. Contact HIKVision US tech support to get the correct version."

Pentair pool control is limited (read: verified to "work") to the i9+3 system. There are some bugs present in the system mostly relating to spa control becoming disabled from recollection. Use any other Pentair system...don't expect any support. Personally I'd stick with Jandy iAquaLink.

If the device is still on embernet, you will need an HC 500/300/200 on 1.8-2.53 for the embernet update to miniapp mode after that you can bring the driver into your current project and go from miniapp to zigbee pro by pressing and holding the bottom button while ID window is open. It is also my understanding if the 500/300/200 was brought past 2.53 via an update from a director on 2.6+ that even if you restore the controller it will not be able to begin the embernet update. That's well before my time...just what I've been told by senior dudes at corp.

Ever been in an attic in Las Vegas in August?

Take a look at knowledgebase 1866. https://dealer.control4.com/dealer/knowledgebase/article/1866

1k to wire up speakers is no more or less reasonable without knowing the difficulties of the task. Attic work...cost can go up especially if it's hot and humid. Difficulties with getting those wires down to the rack may also be present. My point...without an actual walkthrough nobody can tell for sure from the comfort of our desks.

Are we to assume the system is already up and running and fully functional, other than the C4 system? If so what you have there is the EA-3 bundled with a remote and charging station. The price is spot on for the equipment and seems low if the system is functional otherwise. If the system is not already installed/functional...i wouldn't touch that for anything less than a grand for labor/programming. You have a good deal if that's a binding quote. And yes I feel the EA-3 is the safe bet.

Thanks for sharing. As a software developer you should team up with a hardware engineer and build a better system from the ground up. Keep us posted on your progress...

And why couldn't the "IT professional" or homeowner who plays one, configure or troubleshoot a Pakedge network if they have the login credentials? There is nothing saying that, once installed, only a C4 dealer is allowed to touch the system.

Do you have a generic relay driver bound to the ea3?

Because with the Scenario Experience button you aren't operating within the Oppo driver at that point. If you're using android-based navigators or the C4 app as of right now there is no way to page jump (some refer to it as page flip) to the transport controls page of the Oppo. What your wife would basically have is fancy icon that would presumably activate Netflix if programming was correct...but no way to control it. The custom button option works because you are issuing that while within the Oppo controls page.

Yes, your dealer can create a custom icon within the Watch page, if you're on 2.9, via the Scenario Experience button. Once that is created, programming can be applied to that button. The issue will be getting to the transport controls once you've activated that source.

The one I tested on the USB was 2.9. I wonder if it's a write protection issue with your PC in regards to external drives. Try this link: http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/storage/how-erase-write-protected-usb-drive-or-sd-card-summary-3633096/ Also take a look at KB 623.

I'm out of ideas...try a different computer. I just tried the USB install creator, works fine.

After you format the drive via Windows, not the USB install creator, what size does Windows report the drive is total/used/free? Are these retail-bought name brand drives such as sandisk or pny, as opposed to freebie or novelty units?
