Nope.  They are in the same place.

No reflection.  They are in the same spot they have always been but after, what I assume was an Xbox update, they turn on then turn off.  I have an IR bud right on top of the “eject” button, which is where the IR receiver is located.

Hello,

I know that the Xbox driver hasn't been updated in a long time.  @msgreenf produced the last update that I saw.  I have two Xbox X systems and just recently, 1 month ago, when you select the Xbox to Watch it Powers On then immediately Powers Off.  I'm not sure if it detects a Power Toggle when the driver starts but it always powers back off.  So, you have to use the game controller X button to power it back on.  I tried to look at the driver to see if anything extra (a second power toggle or power on) was being sent but I'm not that familiar with the DriverEditor 3.0.1.  Is anyone else using the Xbox driver?  If so,have you started seeing the same thing with an Xbox X?  I wish Microsoft would keep up with the drivers.  I just want to turn the system on with Control4.  I really don't use the C4 Remote after that.  Any help would be appreciated.

Does anyone know what the tripped alarm variable is for the DSC?  I want to send a push notification and email but I can’t seem to find the correct state change to trigger off of.  Thanks for the help.

There are way more zwave devices than zigbee devices on the market.  I have roughly 100 Leviton z-wave light switches in my house.  They blend into the standard rocker switches. I also have heavy duty switches to control 220v loads and outside/weatherproof switches, etc... They are much more versatile and less expensive to boot.

Cyknight,

That makes a lot more sense.  Thank you for the clear explanation. 

Is there a new Z-Wave module, C4-ZWU, that I need to order to use on the CA-1?

msgreenf, the zwave chip in the module and the "optional" part number are the same so they should be the same chip.   Am I missing something or is there a different chip in the Core CA-10?  Optional zwave module part number to order from the CA-1 spec sheet:

Z-Wave Integrated expansion slot accepts Control4 Z-Wave modules (sold separately) Z-Wave modules C4-ZWE, C4-ZWH, C4-ZWU (sold separately)

To round out my question, I use a Mi Casa Vera today to manage my z-wave devices.  If I can move them to a Control4 controller, I would like to do that.  Would getting a CA-1 to manage the z-wave devices, and continue using my EA-5 as the main controller be an option?  The CA-1 would then act similar to what the Vera is doing today but I'm sure it will be much faster. 

Thanks Cyknight.  However, the z-wave module is the same for both the EA and CA.  Are you saying that there is another built in chip in the Core controller that does something with z-wave?

I have an EA-5 and EA-1 and have also purchased the z-wave module.  I can setup a z-wave network and detect/join modules/switches to the z-wave network but the generic z-wave drivers don't work on the EA controller.  Is there an issue preventing the generic drivers from working on the EA vs CA controllers?  The z-wave module is the same and the driver allows you to bind the generic driver to the z-wave module but then the driver says that it's not-connected and doesn't seem to query the device to get the information.  Is there really a difference in how the EA and CA operate with z-wave devices, even though the module is the same?

Just spoke with Axon - they are updating their Philips Wiz Driver to work with the enhanced lighting controls in OS 3.3.  ETA is a few weeks.

I'll say here again that the integration has been flawless with C4 and that the quality of the Philips Wiz tape lights and bulbs are on par with the Hue series at nearly 1/2 the price.  Also no hub.

How did you get in touch with Axon?  They developed the Nexlux driver I have but when I tried to fill out the contact form on their website, it didn't "submit" the information.  Can you send the contact info you have?  Or, do you know if they plan on updating all their drivers (Nexlux included)?

Does this also support Magic Home devices?  Like these:

Ditto.  Sent from Composer and no luck

Not entirely true.  There is a compatibility aspect.  e.g. Control4 zwave dongle only supports a very small list of zwave devices.  If zwave support for all generic devices covered everything, then Vera wouldn't be needed.  I know some of my light/switches won't join the Control4 zwave network.  I'd like to know which manufactures Flex actually supports.  

Mattcwiokoski,  Do you have a list of supported zwave devices for the FlexControl?  I have a lot of Leviton switches and Aeotec.  That's the great thing about Vera, they pretty much support all zwave devices.  However, they broke their C4 integration when they moved to the new Ezlo hardware/software.  So, I'm interested in looking at other zwave options.

Has anyone seen this:

Does anyone know anything about the integration?  I'm curious if the integration also includes their z-wave, Apple Homekit hub (not just the KNX hub) and if we could use that to control our zwave devices vs Vera.  Just looking for alternatives before my Vera dies.

Hey, There are many of you on here who have been using Vera with the Extra Vegetables driver to control your z-wave devices.  I have about 80 z-wave switches in my house and it works well enough but is somewhat slow.  They state that there are some speed improvements in the Ezlo platform.  I just purchased an Ezlo to upgrade the speed of the interface and found out that they no longer support the API that Vera used.  So, this means that the Extra Vegetables driver will not work with Ezlo.  Since they have stopped making Vera, it's concerning to me that if my Vera hardware dies, I'm SOL.  (I just purchased another Vera as a backup but it's almost impossible to find one, even on Ebay.)

Since Extra Vegetables was purchased by Control4 back in 2014, can we get one of the team familiar with the driver to update it to work with the new Ezlo API?  I'm sure I'm not the only one who is making this request due to the scarcity of Vera HW.  I'd even be happy to put some $$s behind the update.  It's got to be less expensive, and less of a hassle, than replacing $4k worth of z-wave gear.

Any update from Control4 or even Chowmain would be most appreciated.  If @Chowmain @alanchowwants to develop the updated driver, I'd be happy with that as well.  He does some great work.

You can get the Zuum HDMI IP driver and switch or Monoprice Blackbird switch.  They're both the same HDMI switch and can be controlled by the Zuum C4 IP driver.  Great switches for the price but it'll be an 8x8 matrix for ~$800.

Any update on the Media Wall function? 

So weather covers one use case.  Another is that as the time changes/sun moves I don't want/need my sunshade to close.  Again, this is the reason I'm looking to just disable a schedule and reenable it from the app.

Wouldn't setting an If statement inside your schedule and running your fans, lights, shades only in the months of the year you need them work?

I only wish weather was that consistent.    We can still have days in the 80s in Nov.

Martymohr, Agreed.  I do the same thing with notifications an one of my other devices, but I can't see current state of a Scene as South Africa pointed out.  On my other device and notification it's on a mechanical pump, so I can check it's state but schedules would be "hidden" from the UI.  Thanks again for all the help on this.  Do you get updated icons for Chowmein or bNet (i.e. OS 3.0 icons)?

Could I just use the custom buttons and program those, similar to what you proposed above but without the need for the extra driver?
