IntrinsicGroup

some benefits that I can think of off-hand:
1- setup is easier, just enter the IP address and it starts working.  Setup for the standard IP driver requires a 2nd apple device, on the same account.  half the time when I'm installing the owner is not present, and when they are, they don't remember their apple password so it becomes a big pain/time suck.
2-I've had several customers where we setup the standard driver and it works perfectly, but then stops working for some reason...as you've alluded to, yours hasn't been rock solid, you've had to reboot the Apple TV.  This isn't desirable in most cases...I get a phone call/email at 10pm because someone's Apple TV no longer works and of course its my poor programming that is at fault.

It’s really faster and smoother, looking forward to receive your feature set, we can see there is Track Data available per ATV, this is cool, how can we make use of that?

We've now added a sign up form on the website:
https://intrinsicdev.com/end-user-newsletter/
We'll aim to fire out a newsletter with any major driver updates, aimed at end users, so that you know when to give your dealer a call!

Not sure those one's were us! If it's something you're looking for, just drop us a query on here: https://intrinsicdev.com/intrinsic-dev-core-programming-driver-suggestion-form/

If you have to keep rebooting the Apple TV it sounds like the ATV stops broadcasting it's control port.... the driver listens to each ATV and asks how they want to be controlled.  Rebooting an ATV resets this.

Is that one ATV on wifi by any chance?
We've had a few request from end users to be added to our mailing lists.  Currently it's only for dealers, but our marketing team are looking at setting up a dedicated channel of end users, so watch this space.

v24 - we are currently testing a new release that we should be out before the end of the month.  It also has live reporting back to composer as to when updates are available.  We'll send out a mailshot to all existing owners when it's about to be released.

Yep, all good on 13.4 too - thanks for updating everyone @Zuhair!

No problem - yes the original system was designed to ensure no need for an online connection.  The new one is a hybrid, so covers scenarios with no connection and with a connection.

Yes, this will apply to all previous transactions.  We had a lot of "honest mistakes" but one character difference does sound genuine - if you drop a support ticket and reference this message, we can arrange to get that one refunded for you.

Finally got my dealer to install this for our 4 ATV 4Ks - works very nicely, much more responsive than the Zigbee IR solution he had to rig up after the tvOS 13 update
Questions:
Is there a command that will kill whatever is streaming upon ROOM OFF?  We have YouTube TV and I'd like to kill the stream (so as to not use bandwidth) when we press ROOM OFF on our C4 remotes? Right now, I programmed STOP and I believe it's pausing the stream but I'm not clear if data is still flowing in but just not playing, or if STOP does indeed kill the stream (BTW, I tried the POWER OFF command but that didn't seem to do anything)
Also, a previous poster mentioned this, "Just a recommendation for anyone freshly updating to the new OS and installing this driver, go into [ settings > remotes ] and revert the "Home Button" behaviour to Home Screen instead of ATV App. Otherwise the behaviour of the CNCL button (which is clearly mapped to HOME) will confuse the hell out of you. Or maybe just me."
What does that mean exactly? Is that something I can do via Composer HE?
Thanks

@IntrinsicGroup are the guys that make the other IP driver, I’ve been using it a few weeks and it’s been rock solid, really easy to set up too, could be done remotely by any of the dealers on here 

Our driver will work on EA series too: https://www.intrinsicdev.co.uk/downloads/apple-tv-driver-control4/
 

Of you get an EA5, that will get Apple TV working with the native driver but nothing will change (in terms of what you have compared to what you see to have).  The other advantages of moving to an EA5 would include getting the OSD back on OS3 (May not be of interest to you) and better future proofing.
A much cheaper alternative (in terms of fixing the Apple TV and doing this via IP) would be to get the @IntrinsicGroup Apple TV driver which reportedly works on an HC800 just fine.

IMO the most useful features are being able to turn on climate, start charging and seeing charge status.  It might also be useful to have a button sequence that allows you to unlock the car, although that is a bit of a security risk.  But who would know that you need to triple click a keypad button to unlock your car?  Of course the remote climate is more useful in Canada when it is -20C then in SoCal!
The API does have most things but one that is missing, or was a year or so ago, is the ability to change/set the scheduled charging time.  That was not available through the API.  I wrote a bit of code that allowed you to finish your charing at a specified time.  I had to manually start charging at the estimated time rather than just change the scheduled start time.  It seems that Tesla has added this type of functionality to the car in one of the most recent software updates, but there is a hard coded end time of 6am.  I want my charging to end at 7 as that is when the cheap electrical rates end for me and it is just before I leave.  Leaving just as charging is finished has benefits as the battery is warm and there will be less, or no, limited regen.

I'm a long way off from providing energy automation at a reasonable price to consumers. Higher end clients, though, have the Sonnen/Adapt/Cinegration driver they can use. Adding in information from a Tesla for these clients makes sense. State of charge, time remaining to full charge, and interior climate would be the variables I would want to program off of for energy automation. Being able to remotely start/warm up the car would definitely be an action I would want to trigger from Control4.

Installed the intrinsic driver last night with the help of my favorite dealer.  Works like a champ.  I’m surprised that C4 hasn’t released something similar.  

+1

We asked C4 directly about this before we released it...doesn’t mean we’ve not still trying to find another way! 

For the record, I have been independently beta testing this app for Intrinsic and it has been rock solid so far.

I just installed this driver and it works great. Really fast and ridiculously easy to set up, would recommend to anyone who needs IP control 

I can tell you that it works with my ATV 4K’s running tvOS 13 and my HC800 with OS3.1
