    It's working fine on 3.3.1 with an external MQTT broker.

    Geobased actions is the best with HomeKit and C4, there are a couple of drivers that integrates both, your will love Apple HomeKit Geolocation rules, the best in town by far!

    Zuhair reacted to david@berto.co.uk in Berto LIFX driver... Amazing   
    Once OS 3.3 is released I'll add Color Wheel support to the Dimmer driver also.
    I'm in the process of pushing a v2 release of my drivers which will eventually supersede all v1 drivers.
    The new Agent driver now has many features bundled in that replaces previous v1 drivers such as IFTTT, Pushover, MQTT, Mail, REST/HTTP Webevents, OwnTracks...
    See https://berto.io/v2

    Zuhair reacted to msgreenf in Chowmain Govee Driver - Why does it add every newly added device to ALL navigators? Can it not just add it to the room the device was added in?   
    I don't think that is what he is talking about @alanchow. I think he is saying when he adds the driver to the project the light is default visible in all rooms.

    I have a Mac Mini linked into my Matrix and Control4 allows me to view the Mac Mini on any of my TVs so that part is easy.  I use my iPad as a keyboard using Rowmote Pro (an Apple app that allows one to use an iPad as a wireless keyboard for any Apple Mac).  Any wireless keyboard that can link over WiFi or any app that allows keyboard control for a Sony should give you the same result.

    v2 is still beta but the area your looking to develop in, MQTT, is complete.

    Zuhair reacted to RyanE in Unreliable dealer   
    The usual answers to these are:
    1) There are a lot of dealers on these forums that will make changes for homeowners who have equipment installed (or will install the equipment themselves).  Most have pretty good reputations for following up within a reasonable time, and charging reasonable rates.
    2) You can purchase ComposerHE (Homeowner's Edition) to make many programming changes.  It does nearly everything that ComposerPro will do, with the exceptions of: you can't add new device drivers, you can't make bindings between device drivers, and and a handful of other things that are rarely used.  If an online dealer does those things for you, ComposerHE can do the rest.

    Zuhair reacted to david@berto.co.uk in Berto IoT Gateway with Third Party MQTT Integration Opened Up   
    Hi all,
    I've just released version 1.27 of my IoT Gateway driver which has been opened up to allow other driver developers to access the MQTT functions.
    Just a few simple proxy functions to REGISTER and PUBLISH messages and ExecuteCommand handlers to receive MESSAGEs.
    Driver available at https://prod.berto.io/download/Berto_IOTGateway.c4z
    Sample driver with source code showing integration available at https://prod.berto.io/download/Berto_IOTClient.c4z
    Thank you
    David

    Very weird, we had to erase project and loading it again for the driver to install?! It worked!

    That's correct, once you link the "Berto IOT Device" driver to a temperature sensor (Tasmota, zigbee2mqtt, zigbee2tasmota or Shelly) the temperature and humidity will be available in C4 programming. To have the temperature displayed on OSD you'll need to bind the "Berto IOT Device" driver to C4 generic temperature & humidity display driver.
    In my case, I've asked my dealer to bind all the "Berto IOT Devices" temperature sensors to C4 generic temperature & humidity display drivers to have it displayed on OSD and easier programming in HE.
    For example in my case: C4 will get the temperature from Aqara Zigbee sensor, if it's above a certain value it will close the Aqara Zigbee curtains, and if the humidity is high, it will turn on the A/C. 
    In bathrooms, if humidity reach to a certain value, C4 will turn on the exhaust using Aqara Zigbee wall switches for 15min.
    In some areas, I'm using Aqara Zigbee motion sensors to turn on/off the light using Aqara Zigbee wall switches.

    A major updating adding support for many more devices including TP-LINK and Yeelight.
    Zigbee is now supported on the Sonoff Zigbee Bridge and Zigbee2MQTT installs.

    The new IoT Gateway driver supports automatic downloadable plugins which means new devices no longer need a driver update.  As new devices become available the driver now checks it’s online database for a supported plugin and downloads as required.
    Custom MQTT messages can now be posted to a RestFUL API endpoint to process payloads and return name/value pairs to feedback variable updates to Control4. Process messages and return updates in your own framework and language of choice on your own server.
    Performance enhancements to the MQTT client has improved scalability and currently systems with 100+ Tasmota devices and 130+ Shelly devices are running in commercial production environments.

    Tasmota 9.2 is now supported although Zigbee support appears more stable with 8.5.1.
    A director restart is required.
    This is a significant update and in some cases, dependent on devices in use, it may be necessary to clear exiting devices and setup again.
    A vey big thank you to all those who provided beta testing, you know who you.

    First you have to decide between zigbee2mqtt or zigbee2tasmota on Sonoff Zigbee Bridge.
    If you are using Sonoff Zigbee Bridge:
    Hardware required:
    Sonoff Zigbee Bridge. Raspberry Pi (to run the gateway & the MQTT Broker). I've tested this setting  with Sonoff ZigBee button SNZB01, Temperature & Humidity sensor SNZB02, Motion sensor SNZB03  
    Installation:
    Flash the Sonoff bridge with Tasmota, it's simple straight process, here's an example (https://youtu.be/aiUol1GQDlU). You'll also find other methods if you google the subject. You'll need to ask your dealer to install Berto drivers. Berto cloud, Berto gateway, and as many instances of Berto IOT Generic. Then you can continue with Composer HE. From the gateway driver click on the install the gateway, this will automatically setup the Raspberry gateway. Discover the gateway. Discover the devices.

    @Amr
    Here is the way I have mine setup. All that is needed for basic control in the Berto_MQTTBridge configuration is the server info. Everything else for Sonoff relays is done through the Berto_SonoffRelay and Berto_RelayLight.  First make sure what topic you have configured as the Topic on the sonoff under Configuration> Configure MQTT and make sure that that is entered exactly (case sensitive) under the topic on the Berto_SonoffRelay configuration in composer.  Once that is verified then a standard connection needs to be made between Berto_SonoffRelay and the Berto_RelayLight.  Let me know if this helps or you have any more questions on it.

    I just wanted to thank David for his new year’s gift with pushing an update for the Sonoff Zigbee Bridge, it’s working like a charm with C4, I had added a couple of Xiaomi ZB buttons with ZB sockets and they are working just fine 😎🤩😇😍

    Zigbee devices can be easily flashed https://bit.ly/38pQOxZ
    @david@berto.co.uk is working to add this bridge (and other brands) to his driver. By enabling C4 to integrate to zigbee2mqtt or zigbee2tasmota, we will have more options for motion & temperature sensors, windows & doors contacts, buttons & switches from Sonoff, IKEA, Xiaomi Mi and more.

    Use ComposerHE to do all your programming. For bindings and hardware modifications, you can use an online dealer, quick & reasonable.
