I'm not seeing any mention of this fix in the 3.4.2 release notes, and no reference to the ticket (AV-9682) that was referenced earlier in this thread.

Well, to be fair, they do have a paid support option now that gives you access to real humans around the clock and covers an entire site. But yeah, I generally agree with you on this.

Oh look -- another week, another thread about Unifi vs everything else. For what it's worth -- a typical C4 install's networking requirements are _very_ different than enterprise/corporate/campus networks. Pick the right tool for the job.

Amazing that Digital Blasphemy is still around.

Sony used to be rock solid -- but numerous issues now. TCL Roku TVs have been rock solid for me via IP. I know lots of folks have issues with Samsung Frame -- but my 2021 is rock solid via IP. Too bad the TV sucks otherwise. I have an older Vizio P-Series that has also been flawless on IP using the Annex4 driver. No experience with LG -- but I have heard issues with WoL, etc.

Lots of Spotify and Ryff issues in general lately. It would seem like something was pushed. I have seen other users reporting similar things such as: - Start audio in one zone and another zone randomly activates - Spotify and other sources reporting they are playing, but no audio (must reboot director) @ChrisHenderson Can you confirm that Control4 is aware of issues and they are being worked on?

You need a dealer to install/configure the Shairplay driver which enables Airplay.

Looks great! Enjoy the system.

If your Airplay "clients" are in one VLAN, and your C4 controller is in another -- you need an mDNS/DNS-SD daemon like avahi [1] running on your network for Airplay to work. [1] https://linux.die.net/man/8/avahi-daemon

My Sony (X900F) used to be rock solid -- and now frequently, it will just stop responding to commands from C4. The only fix is to reboot my director. I'm using simple control, etc. It's a huge pain in the ass.

I do something similar to what you want.. I switch between internal TV sound and in-ceiling speakers (a zone on my matrix). This is how I do it:

Then you have a routing/firewall configuration that allows this?

I have my automation stuff (including C4) in it's own VLAN and I can access it just fine from other VLANs on my network. You most likely have a misconfiguration on the device that is handling your L3/inner-VLAN routing.

I have a small TCL TV in my bathroom that only has WIFI and it seems to do mostly fine with WoL etc.

They are all pretty solid in terms of control. Just pick a tier/series based on how much money you want to spend.

No need for the BW driver any longer. C4 provides one here: http://drivers.control4.com/roku_tv.c4z. The one annoying thing about this driver is that it doesn't support setting a volume value directly (eg, you get "-" and "+" buttons, not a slider) -- which I do believe the Roku API does support.

How has your experience with SofaBaton been thus far?

Here is a decent set of default firewall rules to use on Mikrotik: /ip firewall filter add action=accept chain=input comment="DEF: accept established, related, untracked" connection-state=\ established,related,untracked add action=drop chain=input comment="DEF: drop invalid" connection-state=invalid add action=accept chain=input comment="DEF: accept icmp" protocol=icmp add action=accept chain=input comment="DEF: accept trusted ssh" port=22 protocol=tcp src-address-list=\ trusted add action=accept chain=input comment="DEF: accept trusted api" port=8728-8729 protocol=tcp \ src-address-list=trusted add action=accept chain=input comment="DEF: accept trusted winbox" port=8291 protocol=tcp \ src-address-list=trusted add chain=forward comment="DEF: accept established, related, untracked" connection-state=\ established,related,untracked add action=drop chain=forward comment="Block WLAN-Guests from General" connection-state=established,new \ dst-address-list=vl10 src-address-list=vl31 add action=drop chain=forward comment="Block Security from General" connection-state=established,new \ dst-address-list=vl10 src-address-list=vl50 add action=drop chain=forward comment="Block WLAN-Public from Security" connection-state=\ established,new dst-address-list=vl50 src-address-list=vl31 add action=drop chain=forward comment="DEF: drop invalid" connection-state=invalid add action=drop chain=input comment="DEF: drop everything else not from LAN" connection-nat-state=\ !dstnat connection-state=new in-interface-list=!LAN There are some specific VLAN rules in there to give you an example of how to block traffic between VLANs if you need. These rules also require you have two interface lists -- "LAN" and "WAN" which you can create. As @lippavisual said -- make sure you are running the latest STABLE firmware and have changed default passwords, etc. Check to make sure your router isn't acting as an open DNS resolver and that it doesn't have a proxy enabled.

Not to confuse you more, but I also just stumbled across this which could come in handy if you weren't wanting to do a full blown DMX solution: https://www.axxind.com/product/dcm5-led-color-and-color-temperature-controller/ It's Zigbee Pro/C4 compatible -- and you can wire any RGB/WW strip up to it for wireless control. Of course you still need a power supply.

I'm not a dealer. I did all of my DMX work (wiring, installation, etc) myself -- though you will need a dealer to install the driver(s). Yeah - you can program scenes and such yourself using HE once the driver(s) are installed.

I think the Domaudeo driver is actually more full featured -- it has Circadian capability (which I think may be native in C4 now via an agent), effects, sound-to light, etc.

There is also the new-ish "grape" box and driver from Blackwire -- but I haven't talked to anyone who has actually used it. https://www.blackwiredesigns.com/store/blackwire-dmx-ip-bridge/

Got it! I didn't think it was working -- but I just needed to wake the device up by physically hitting the button on the humidity sensor. FWIW - a reboot of the controller did not clear the "license invalid" message -- but I don't really mind.

@Andrew luecke I recently had the trial expire on my Shelly driver. I have since purchased the driver -- the agent says "License Activated" but the individual Shelly device is reporting "License Invalid. Driver Disabled." Any ideas on how to fix this? Sorry for the hijack.

You can use your current decoder as long as it has free channels. Otherwise, you can just get another decoder and daisy chain it to you existing one.
