If you can find a replacement power supply it is worth a shot. My matrix failed a few weeks ago and a I had a spare power supply from an old hc300 I picked up which had already been replaced. It is a 120v ac to 5v dc 15w supply. was simple to change and was up and running within a half hour again if that is what has failed. 

Sony has great integration i have 3 here that work reliably. I ran into the same situation as you regarding my gym tv, not wanting to invest a lot in but still get somewhat decent quality with ip control I ended up with a Hisense 50" r6 roku tv and the c4 driver for it has been excellent so far. for $399 cdn for a 50" and full IP control with roku you can't go wrong.

Just change your computer adapter ipv4 to the right up range for your laptop then access the web GUI directly that way

Is it a powerseries? I have found that those sometimes need a power cycle to see an immediate battery change update. I don't believe the supervisory of the sensor is a "live" update as with rf devices they are set to minimize communication to the panel. I would try unplugging the backup battery and cycle the panel

Did you try removing the sonos products off the network and trying the speedtest? Just a thought as I have seen 2x where a sonos amp made peoples houses unusable due to loopback wiring scenarios on the network or wifi channel clutter

Did you make any headway researching this? I can't find a listing of the minimum android version required to run the c3 os3 app

Dsc1832 has been rock solid over rs232 over here

I had a hydrawise system put in last week and the hydrawise driver on annex4 isn't too bad. Doesn't give you nearly the control of the hydrawise app, but it gives you manual zone on/off control which is nice. The hydrawise has so many different factors it takes into account (wind, temp, humidity etc) and is pretty self sufficient in my experience so far. I would say I integrated it into c4 because I could....less so because it needed to be if that makes sense? I would only use the driver if I was planning specific programming based off zones being on/off etc. My boss has setup a rachio before and he said the app is nicer than hydrawise but I personally don't mind the app.

Factory reset of the DS2 has become much more of an issue since 3.1.

I did it and it took me an hour of fiddling (much to my dealers disgust) in the web interface to get it all working again.

I luckily had a backup of the ds2 from 2018 that I was able to reload. What a hassle though. I’ve honestly been really disappointed with the ds2 given how expensive it is and unreliable it has been for the low camera quality. Yes it physically looks nice but why is a ring or nest doorbell for a quarter the cost so much more reliable in my experience!

Here is a print of the log when I hit Auto Configure on the driver:

Hey guys, can anyone offer me assistance with my DS2? I have been working through intercom unreliability for years and I made the mistake of factory resetting the unit today and now it won't communicate. In the documentation it says you have to manually enter in the HTTP API ACCOUNT 1, however the credentials i'm using from composer don't seem to be doing anything. I get a constant offline. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

After further experimentation, using the old 43x800 driver with the new 49xbrx800g seemed to work as expected. Very strange the official driver for the model didn’t have full functionality but here is your workaround for anyone else with this same issue. 

I’ll third the roku. Great integration with the free driver. Very easy to configure as well

I had unifi The first few years of living here and everything was great… I’m not sure if through the software updates something changed for the worse… I had gone through all the trouble shooting and factory restores just to make sure it wasn't a corrupt firmware or driver. I honestly didn't want to change off my edge router I had great reliability with it otherwise. I literally just setup the used Pak-edge one I bought add a flat network just to see and I could immediately use my doorstation again and actually answer calls with intercom anywhere.

What are using for SnapShot ? 

Nothing yet. Only been able to figure out the actual video stream thusfar. Hasn't really affected me as I only watch the streams typically

With some experimenting, I am able to share that I was able to integrate the budget ezviz cameras from (hikvision) via rtsp streams into composer using the camera_dw_ip_generic_fixed_with_h264.c4i driver. The trick to getting them to integrate is to input the camera ip on your network in the driver, set the login to admin, password to the verification code on the camera (in caps), and on the h264 stream field in composer, enter "Streaming/Channels/1"

This worked for 3 different sku's of the ezviz line of cameras with the caveat that my ptz models don't have motion control through c4, strictly a stream view of wherever it is pointed. Snapshots do not work on the camera preview screen in the navigator but the video streams work when expanded. I use these cameras on my indoor bird cages to keep an eye on the pets while I'm out. They are inexpensive, decent video quality, easy to use application, onboard recording via microsd and now being able to view the streams in c4 is a bonus.

I had posted a while back about issues with the ds2 doorstation this past year regarding video/call quality and reliability. The intercom app was hopelessly unreliable from the ds2 video and audio quality virtually inaudible on my touchscrees. I had two years of successful use with the edgerouter in the system but I'm thinking something must have changed through all the updates over the years either with c4's sip protocol or the edgerouter itself. Regardless I'm just posting to say that switching to the pakedge re-2 router (yes I know it is an older sku) did in fact improve my ds2 reliability and quality for intercom calls. I am not using the pakedge zones feature, but simply configured a flat network and it worked well enough. 

I was skeptical that the router was the issue at first since I've had such good reliability out of my ubiquiti networking products and c4 and I continue to use an ap-ac for wifi, however I can say that people's suggestions to switch to a pakedge router worked in my case. Hope it helps others who have run into similar situations.

Any luck fixing this issue guys?

I'll second foxe. Converted my panasonic netflix/youtube drivers for os3 using foxe to edit the code and it worked great. Tedious scaling each icon image by hand but if you have access to the c4z image scaler tool then that automates it

I can test with a roomba 960 if you'd like!

The voice control works well for Alexa for other things. I have the Alexa app tied in with the lutron skill so I'm able to do it by voice still but it's not really going through c4 which I guess isn't a big deal if the end result is the same. 

I was able to get it integrated. The only limitation I found with the newer driver is it can't have shades level variable take a voice input from the epic systems alexa driver anymore. I do have the smart bridge pro it works great

Anyone know of any alternative ways to integrate the caseta shades still into os3? The blindv2.c4i is no longer compatible.
