  1. Did you click on the Actions tab in Composer, and then click "Pair with TV" (and then approve the pairing request via the TV remote on the TV when it pops up)? I've seen them show offline but have other pieces populated correctly before the pairing process is complete.
  2. Anyone know of a way to call the Samsung "TV Plus" app programmatically? I'd like to tie an experience button or a physical button to this. I don't see a mini driver for it, so I'm wondering if there's another way. It's the free streaming tv that comes with Samsung TVs these days... I know we can call a specific mini app (map it to a remote button or something), but without having the universal driver for it you can't tie it to something like "mini app 6" so not sure if there's a way to make this work...
  3. I'm in the process of setting this up with IRUSB. Did you use the VideoStorm driver? When I do, it looks like I the "Menu" and "Guide" buttons on the Control4 side don't do anything (I'll probably remap "Menu" to the IRUSB "Home" button, as that seems to be what it should do). Did you have any issues with the "Guide" button, and if so, did you figure out a way around it?
  4. Ouch, I was hoping there was a better solution. I have 3 of these to contend with. I may reach out to the manufacturer to see if USB debugging being disabled is from their end or the service provider. If I can get USB Debugging enabled, I'd imagine we could use Zank Remote and Alan's driver instead?
  5. Did you ever get this to work, or did you end up building an IR driver?
  6. There should be a setting in the Josh portal to add a "Response delay" to the microphone. That will probably fix it for the first time use in that room, but it may create a little lag once the system is up and running after a fresh audio sense.
  7. Curious if anyone has any guidance on the range for the HD PowerView Gen 3 Pro gateway - it looks like the Pro unit can handle up to 30 shades, and is communicating with the shades using bluetooth low energy (BLE). Also looks like it can run using POE - wondering if there's a way to mount these, or if they have to sit on a counter / shelf somewhere. Also wondering what type of real-world range can you get from one of these? The shading guy is used to adding a remote to each shade, and not super familiar with integrating all of this with Control4 - wondering if there's someone on here with some experience that can chime in.
  8. If you use a WiZ trim (like the Halo WiZ) behind a standard Control4 Keypad Dimmer, does this mess everything up as the power to the trims is being cut / restored when the light switch is turned off/on? We have a customer that is looking for some tunable trims to replace the existing trims outside so they can control the color for different holidays.
  9. FWIW, I'm on a Ubiquiti setup with 5 WAPs and multiple NEEOs and don't have these issues. It's hard to dissect what's going on in your environment without having some diagnostics. If you have multiple remotes with the same issue, I'd lean towards it being a wifi issue. If it was a single remote, then I'd think that it was the remote and I'd start by swapping that Neeo with one in another room. If you have a wifi mapper it may give you more information on what's on the band. I was just looking through the logs from one of our Etherscopes to find an example - here's one where we were at a customer's home working on the network when they turned on the microwave. The interference spanned channels 4-12 - since it was a microwave, it was short lived - we likely just caught the end of it: For those on UBNT hardware, if you decide to lock it to an AP just toggle this under settings on the client - just remember that this carries some risk because if this AP goes down, this setting will keep the client offline because the client will not connect to another AP (also won't roam if you carry the NEEO to the other side of the house): Interestingly enough, it does look like the MAC addresses on the NEEOs changed at some point, pointing to a difference in WiFi hardware. Here's 3 NEEOs currently connected - the middle one is significantly newer than the top and bottom ones - although the signal that they are receiving is not significantly different. The one with the poorest signal is in the poorest location relative to the access points:
  10. You're getting channel interference on 2.4GHz - a networking problem that's being exposed by the Neeo. Just because some other device that's on 2.4 is working well doesn't mean that it's not an interference issue - the Neeo may be closer to the interfering device that's operating on the 2.4GHz band, and the skybell (that's outside) may be further from the offending device negating the interference (and allowing it to communicate better with the wifi). As someone else already noted, for 2.4GHz, only channels 1, 6, or 11 should be used and a max width of 20Mhz to prevent channel overlap. Remember 2.4GHz has a ton of things operating on it outside of Wifi (microwaves, baby monitors, bluetooth, cordless phones, zigbee, wireless keyboards/mice, lots of hub/spoke devices like Blink cameras, etc), so just because you only see one SSID broadcasting doesn't mean that you have clean 2.4GHz airspace - a site survey would tell you what's all running in that range - right now we're just guessing. If trial and error is the approach rather than doing a proper scan / site survey with something like an etherscope, then you're doing the correct things (moving to channel 6). If that doesn't work, I'd go to 11. Without completely going into the technical weeds here, you can see in this example channel scan chart that in my example network there's something sitting too wide (40mhz) in the 1-6 range, so my airspace around channel 11 is cleaner - no idea what yours looks like without more diagnostic tools.
  11. If it's a certain source input that's too loud, you could try adjusting the Input Level Trim (db). This way you may be able to get it where 100 on the Episode is actually close to the required level, and then everything would make more sense....
  12. With access agent you can lock down the ability to change rooms. I set one touchscreen up where you can only swipe between 3 rooms that have been favorites - no other rooms. When you click the room name at the top to see the whole list of rooms (to change rooms, edit the favorite rooms, etc), you need the pin...
  13. Perfect. No idea why I hadn't seen that before. Thank you!
  14. So i know that you can use the navigator agent to push a camera stream to a touchscreen. I have a scenario where I have a C4 touchscreen near an entry point. When the alarm system is in an entry delay, I'd like to put the alarm keypad up on the control4 touchscreen so you don't have to hunt around looking for the alarm on the touchscreen. Am I missing something or is there not a way to do any programmatic touchscreen navigation other than the cameras?
  15. Did you get this fixed? I have one Sony TV in a project controlled via IP, and it turns ON, switches input, controls volume, etc, - everythings works, but it will NOT turn OFF via IP...
