I think this is done with the navigation agent now. Go to the programming tab and find the agent at the bottom on the right hand side and it’s got jump to camera options

I’ve done similar with a Crestron system but not control 4, it would depend on how the Control4 driver is set up. When I’ve done it I used rs233 to talk to the lumagen, there are a bunch of queries you can ask it and it will send information back and you can program off that, I’ve used it to detect changes in aspect ratio to then control screen masking automatically. How is the Lumagen controlled? It might be that the variables you need are already in the driver. Getting volume feedback through the projector isn’t possible because there’s no video path from your AVR to the projector

I don’t think there’s any way to get the message you tell google to broadcast in to Control4 to then be announced. You could use the voice scene driver and advanced announcements to send pre made announcements through the speakers. I think @Shivam Paw text to speech driver allows you to send custom announcements on the fly from the C4 app through the speakers but I haven’t used it.

You could also use flirc, cheaper than IRUSB and has been bulletproof for me, no lag at all. No need for an app on the android box either

Could this be done with the intercom anywhere app and putting some T3s in monitor mode? I’ve tried monitor mode between T3s before but never tried it through the intercom app

October 13-15 it’s a SnapAV event but hoping for some Control4 announcements

Hopefully it will get released at their online event in October

Check out black nova, I saw a driver appear in the database the other day but I have checked it out yet, I know Crestron integrate with them too https://blacknova.co/

Hi Mitch can you tell me what that driver is called? it sounds very useful

Thanks Alan all working now

Hi Alan I tried setting the pause button to pause instead of play/pause but it’s still only sending the play command. I’m using a sky HD box if that makes a difference

They are getting a private flight apparently https://www.foxsports.com.au/cricket/australia/australia-cricket-2020-vs-england-tour-dates-september-series-location-fixtures/news-story/4cf2227c41ca8d14e4fdd62ec75fc936

Awesome thanks Alan. Talking of the sky channels driver, I favourited the sky cricket hd channel to my neeo screen the other day but when I select it it takes me to the non hd cricket channel, not a big deal though. Looking forward to seeing the Aussies come over for a few games next month

Has anyone else noticed the pause button not working lately? since today whenever I press pause on my neeo the sky box thinks I’ve pressed the play button

Nexus21 make some nice motorised mounts, there is a Chowmain driver available for them as well so you know it’s going to integrate well

Here's a screenshot of my programming, your using the wrong conditional statement. you want to use the "if Room Family room selected video device is XXX" then your action needs to looks the one below

Sure, it’s fairly straight forward. Firstly you need a dummy A/V switch driver with 2 hdmi inputs and 1 hdmi output. Set up the IP driver with the mini drivers you want so it’s all working correctly, in composer connect the IP driver to one of the hdmi inputs on the A/V switch, rename the IP driver to Fire stick app switcher. Add IR driver to project and connect to the other hdmi input on the A/V switch, then connect the output of the A/V switch to wherever the Fire stick in physically plugged in. Hide fire stick app switcher from navigators. Connect IR from controller to flirc. Then in programming select a room, select “when video changes”. then in the script below put a conditional “if video source is Netflix OR if video source is Prime video OR (however many mini drivers you have) “ then nest an action to the conditional to select the fire stick IR driver in that room. let me know if any of that doesn’t make sense, there may be a better way to do the programming that others can mention but it works well. I’ll try and post a screenshot later.

Here's an IR driver for a fire stick with the amazon logo. I'll also attach the config file for the flirc that the driver was based on. I use the IP driver on my system so I can take advantage of the mini drivers then switch to the flirc driver with a bit of programming when a mini driver is selected so I get IR control Amazon FireTV 20180920.fcfg mediaplayer_amazon_firetv_flirc_2018.c4z

I would go for an Anthem if budget allows, I think they sound awesome and they integrate well

Now we have the add music driver I love that we can add music services easily and take advantage of all the free trials for the different services and see what works best for ourselves. I love Tidal

If it was me I would just get a few poe cameras fed from a local nvr somewhere on site, add a monitor and if there is another break in you can review the camera footage, just having the cameras up would probably put off any would be burglars anyway. If being able to check the cameras remotely is important to you just get a router that can use a 4g dongle and plug the nvr in to the router

I’ve always thought the Triad amp is great value, it’s sounds great and integrates perfectly. You could use any multi-zone amp really though, preferably one with trigger inputs or audio sensing to turn it on but you could get one thats left on all time if you wanted, not recommended though.

Apparently drivers for some Sub-zero appliances have been released over the last week, has anyone had a chance to play with them yet?

Yea man the 302 feels like a more premium remote. I wish C4 would come out with a wider range of remotes to suit different needs, I would love to see a simple waterproof remote for bathrooms and other wet rooms

I love the Crestron remote’s buttons and layout but does no one else think it feels really cheap? It’s so light and the plastic feels like it would be so easy to break. TSR310 with a metal body like neeo would be my ideal remote
