Can anyone recommend a good Sonos Soundbar which is compatible with Control4 ? 
Should be able to control through IP / network....

Hi 

I have a house project with two floors. 
The main Philips Hue Hub is in the upper floor directly connected to the home network through an ethernet switch.

However, the hub couldn't search for lights in the ground floor.

So I created a new email for the second Philips Hue Hub  (since the hue app doesn't allow us to add more than 1 hub for the same account) and connected it to the same network in the ground floor. 
Now, even though the lights can be identified, I cannot add the lighting loads identified by the second hue hub in composer.

Can we add two Philips hue hubs in the same control4 project ?
Even though it is allowed, lighting loads of second hub cannot be added....

Need help please !!!

Yes. That is the issue. Did you follow the instructions to make sure all the settings were correct?

Yesterday : evening, I tried to solve this several times by deleting and re-adding the driver.
I noticed that it's fetching the MAC addresses of other devices connected to the network from time to time, in the driver properties. 
Then I corrected its MAC address manually.
Then I was able to control the TV.

However, today in the morning, the control was gone.
I tried deleting and adding the driver several times, and was unable to pair the TV. (Even though the 'Pair' command was sent from the Composer, the pairing pop up didn't appear on the TV screen).

Then I reset the TV, and did everything from the beginning.
Finally, I was able to pair it and control.

What could be the problem ?

Any idea?

Hi @Crustyloafer

Yes, I did....

The Samsung QN85QN85CAFXZA is getting discovered through SDDP.
However, even though I pair the TV, I'm unable to control it.
Also, under properties, "Connected to Network" field always displays as false.

What could be the reason ?

In the same project I tested a Samsung QN75LS03BAFXZA.
It worked without any issue...

I'm using a Pakedge MS-4424 switch with a B-900-MoIP-4K-CTRL controller and few transmitters and receivers.

However, when I plug in new receivers, they are not getting added to the MoIP controller.

I verified this by tapping on the "Print Receiver List" option in Composer (under the Actions tab).

I tried rebooting the MoIP controller several times along with the Pakedge Switch.

What could be the issue?

I'm trying to control my McIntosh C53 with a Core 1 Controller.
The only possible method of controlling is RS232.
I have attached an image of the McIntosh C53 to show the RS232 port of it pointed out with a red arrow.

Should I use a 3 pole or 4 pole auxiliary audio cable for RS232 communication ? 
Also should we go for the straight type or bend one ?

Thank you

I have a setup with following items:

1 X McIntosh C53 preamplifier
2 X McIntosh MC611 Quad Balanced Power Amplifiers
2 X B&W Speakers

I'm trying to use a Core 1 to stream music.

I found the RS232 driver for the C53 from drivercentral.

What should be the audio endpoint and audio volume of my room ?

You need to have a matching version of composer to the installed version before 3.0

if dealer, you should be able to download from SnapAV site. 

@Cinema & Sound
Thank you for your support !

I have a project at a site which uses OS2  (Director Version 2.10.6.561784-res).

I'm using Composer 3.4.0 and I'm struggling to connect to the project. It keeps querying forever and It's taking hours.

What should I do ?

Please help ! 

I have been trying to use a square dual load wireless adaptive phase dimmer (C4-SDAPD240-N) to toggle a non dimmable lighting load.
After few toggles, the switch starts indicating an error (blinking red).

On Composer, it notifies in red that it's a short circuit.

I have a Samsung TV with the model code: QN75LS03BAFXZA

The TV doesn't appear through SDDP.
Is there a way to download the driver ?

This error will show when you don't have a location set on your project.  The driver only works in certain countries.

@DanITman

You mean the location on Control4 project or nest app? 
 

Is there a way to bypass the location???

I need to get it up and running in Sri Lanka…. 
 

can you please help ?

if someone needs the solution with the nest driver that is disabled in some countries, I have the solution for nest thermostat all countries. I can provide new driver.

Hi @Alejandro Colombo

How can I get this driver ?

Hi @Alejandro Colombo

Can you please help me ?
 

Hi @msgreenf

can you please help me? 

Need this for a project in Sri Lanka.
The thermostat works using the Nest App, but not Control4...

Hi,

I need to integrate the Google Nest Thermostat (3rd Generation) with Control4 outside US.
How can I achieve this?

Thank you

Device with version older than 3.3.1 found in project (Staff Corridor->CA-1). Device must be updated to at least 3.3.1 before it can be updated to OS 3.4.0 or later.
 

I'm getting the above error message.

How can I update the CA-1 controller?

How can I downgrade the CA-10 controller from OS 3.4.0 to 3.3.2 ?

Is there any additional device to connect to discover the network drivers of Samsung Neo QLED TVs through SDDP ? 

Can anyone recommend some good Control4 compatible soundbars with following features?

1. Excellent sound quality
2. Network (IP) controlled driver without any connectivity bugs

Thank you

You can look at Big Ass Fans: https://chowmain.software/drivers/control4-big-ass-fans-haiku . Huge list of variables, and great protocol.. Very few support issues either (so far, all but 1 of them since rewriting the driver were because the firmware was old, and the last I suspect was firmware related, as nobody else reported the same issue).  

The driver also supports CCT lighting, the built in occupancy sensors, sleep mode, whoosh, etc. You just need to ensure you get a wifi model

Hi @Andrew luecke

Thanks a lot for your information !

Hi @Amr

Yes I tried..

Probably, it's an issue with the AVR...

Thanks @alanchow

I purchased both models.
Going to test both, this week.

Thank you
