Due to a back-door connection that is still available. It also will have issues with any new options, or even major updated drivers since 2.10.6 that simply won't work, and the list of those will simply add up.

Plus, who knows when that back-door will be sealed up.

At least it gives me time to save up for a new touch to replace it. Presumed as much with the connection still being available "temporarily". Who knows C4 may have tried to keep compatibility with older devices but due to serious os changes had no way to breath life into the now retired devices.

I have an HC 800 and an older C4 touch screen that is not supported, so I replaced it with a Kindle Fire, pretty slick.

Used the POE injector from original screen with a splitter. Have ordered a 90 degree connector to tidy up the connection.

Id be interested to know why my unsupported screen still works. It isnt added to the project as it is no longer available in os3.1. Yes i dont have intercom on it now but never used that functionality anyways. The reality is it functions as it was in 2.10 bar the intercom yet not added to the project hardware list. Not sure if you tried devices after the upgrade? My hardware TW7C0 to ea1

Had presumed so but for some reason thought i had read someone having an issue after count > 1 on the c4 controller. Also i havent bought into the shelly brand yet but i see they have a unit capable of ir to aircons tvs etc. Seems a cheap way to gain some functionality. Its also mqtt so presume there must be a way to incorporate.

Anyone know a way to get data back to the controller for real numbers?

Hi all. So what is the max count of devices or rather lets say a comfortable count that won't bring the system down. So far got it running with 1 device perfectly. Small hiccup pi3b+ goes black screen and unresponsive requiring a reboot every 2-3 days. Going to do an os reload. Anyone had solid experience with the mqtt. Any chance of pulling variables ie a real number weight from a gas bottle to warn when its running low? This driver could be cool to tie into industrial devices like the siemens as that has mqtt capabilities. Any ideas on what can be done? Id like to get some cool ideas.cheers

Possibly a latency issue from isp to remote servers? We are far from anywhere 1st world.

Hi. I went the cheapest route and used the Wi-Fi module mysomy. Range is an issue on it so if you have multiple rooms you going to need multiple units. Wi-Fi range to them is an issue too - ended up mounting next to the Wi-Fi router. Works for me though.
