WhyPhy

Has the broken save & restore problem been solved? I'm running 3.3.2.

Whether it's part of the new driver, an update to lighting drivers, another driver, a middle man driver, doesn't matter, the ability to auto adjust preset turn on brightness is needed for a very long time.

I expect a middle man driver wouldn't be a big project and expose more people to the concept of truly smart lighting.

I completely agree.

@alanchow is there any chance Chowmain could create a generic "daylight-to-dimmer-level" driver to fill this void? I'm guessing it would have ~5 different dimmer levels mapped to 5 different "Kelvin color temperatures", with the ability to adjust the default dimmer levels to better match different types of bulbs. When the daytime lighting agent specifies a certain "Kelvin color temperature", the driver translates that to the appropriate dimmer level.

Is there a way for “Dim to Warm” lights to work with this feature? I have lights that change color temp as the dim:

5000k @ 100% brightness
3500k @ 50% brightness
2200k @ 20% brightness 

Can this be supported by the agent, or is a custom driver required?

another good video 

 

In the video, he points out an IR blaster on top of the Halo remote. Is that correct? That would be a huge shift for Control4.
 

It seems more likely that it’s an ambient light sensor.

 had to do the update gateway every now again 

How do you update the gateway?

I agree, it's become useless.

However, the 3.3.2 does have a new video proxy that is working much better for my UniFi cameras. I wonder if it helps with the intercoms as well? I'm switching to a UniFi G4 Pro doorbell anyway, so I really haven't checked.

It allows the driver to request an updated URL at runtime. Which was not possible before.

So what does this mean from a programming standpoint? For the camera's "Smart Detection - Vehicle", do you just add programming for "Send Push Notification for Vehicle Detection", that's calls a standard push notification w/image? It's no longer required to create the snapshot image and then push it?

And the new driver works beautifully. Adds support for snapshots, auto stream quality selection, and some new Unifi Protect features (like package detection!)

What exactly are “dynamic snapshots” and how are they different from the snapshots of the prior versions?

Is that required for OS 3.2.2?

Yes, it’s because of the Camera V2 Proxy included in OS 3.3.2.

The picture you attached shows the IP address of the gateway not the camera. Are you using the nvr camera driver or the standalone camera driver? 

When I do a camera test on my UniFi Protect Camera (NVR) device, the Video URL shows the IP address of the Gateway (not the Camera.) The test completes successfully and the RTSP stream is viewable in VLC.

Apparently that's how it's supposed to work; the UniFi Protect Gatway proxies the RTSP stream.

What version of hardware and software for your controller?

Thanks for sharing. I’m considering adding a video matrix at some point and AVPro is at the top of my list.
 

That’s a nice looking rack!

You can’t control Hue directly without a bridge via C4 or anything else. The “8 bulb limit” is for Bluetooth control from your phone, which is mostly useless. 
 

I don’t think there is a better/cheaper option than Phillips hue. I think your best bet is to figure out which bulb is bad.

I haven’t noticed this problem recently. I didn’t change anything. 

I wasn’t aware there was a Text-to-speech driver that had pre-padding of announcements. That’s why I never tried one.

Which one(s) allow pre-padding?

I have this same problem with completely different amplifiers (3x AudioControl M6800.) I can hear a very slight “click” when the room is turnes on for an announcement and I still have to put 4 seconds of silence at the beginning of the recorded announcement file to not have it cut off. Luckily NoteVibes.com makes this extremely easy to do this when generating the audio file. 

I agree.  Have to consider the new AV Pro MX.net 10G, or anything in their product line. 

Lol. Guess I should have checked the first post instead of assuming!

This module was released out of beta a year ago. The title of this topic really should be edited and changed from "Beta Tester Wanted: Homekit Driver" to "Apple Homekit and Siri Voice Driver for Homebridge Released". It's just confusing the way it is. Hopefully @Amr will edit the first post in this thread and make it less confusing.

In addition, hide Apple AirTags in the trailers. In case they are stolen, it greatly improves the chance of recovery.

I had a Heos project in a condo that would randomly play. always late at night. In my system off(and sleep) macro I set the volume to zero before turn off the rooms. that was in 2019 and I dont trust to change the programming.. It works

That’s a good workaround. Thanks for sharing. 
 

It’s frustrating that there is no way to capture the cause of the issue to permanent fix. 

For me, it’s definitely not unpausing because I’m positive there were no active media sessions in any zone. We typically listen to Pandora and have not experienced the problem with it. It’s only been with Spotify in the one zone that uses only Spotify.

I have had something similar happen that I think was related to Spotify Connect all of a sudden starting to play to a room that was previously active.

I’m having the exact same problem with Spotify Connect randomly playing. There’s only 1 room in the house where we use Spotify, to play a bedtime playlist for the kid. At random times during the past month or two, Spotify will randomly start playing in that room. Strangely, it’s not the bedtime playlist, but rather a different shared playlist on that account.
 

It’s definitely a Control4 or Spotify bug, because no one in our family uses Spotify. None of us even have the app installed.

Thanks for your quick response. I’ll reach out to schedule a time for a remote session. 

I still can't get Homebridge Manager driver to connect to my HomeBridge Server (Synology Docker) after converting HomeBridge to https. I updated the driver to the latest version 653 (02/09/2022). I used the one included in the Siri Voice Module Driver because the Homebridge Manager version on DriverCentral is still 651.

I was eventually able to get the Siri Voice Module to connect to the DTI websocket, despite the documentation providing no information on how that is supposed to be configured. The driver requests the "HB HTTPS URL", which is https://192.168.10.10:8581 for my server. I enabled debug and noticed that I kept getting LUA error messages about the websocket being unable to connect to ws:/192.168.10.10:34379. I went into Homebridge and found that the DTI websocket driver is running on port 57066, which is not something I configured. It seems websocket port 34379 is hard-coded into the Siri driver, so I changed the settings of the DTI Websockets Driver to port 34379 and finally got the websocket connection.

However, I still can't get the HB User Interface tab to load in either driver. And the Homebridge Manager driver will not connect. The Homebridge Manager driver doesn't have a field to enter the HTTPS URL or port number. I synced to the Siri driver port settings, but it still would not connect. It seems the port sync command in the Homebridge Manager driver only pushes the port settings to the Siri driver and does not read port setting or HTTPS URL from the Siri Driver.

I'm a bit frustrated. I've tried everything I can think to do and it just won't connect. It seems to me that these drivers have not been thoroughly tested with an HTTPS instance of Homebridge. And the documentation definitely hasn't been updated to include HTTPS config instructions. What do I need to do to get this working?
