  1. Yep, been there as I have 7 ecobees in my house with zone controlled unit. It will disconnect with a reboot so make sure you are on a UPS as the slightest glitch with kick you off. Make sure that you you don't have any other binding in the ecobee account. AS why it has to connect to the cloud server is stupid as much more reliable to just connect locally. Other than that don't have any other ideas. My end has been stable for a few months now.

  2. Some More Trash talking, Davis does have a new color touch screen console that connects its data on Wifi instead of the crappy ethernet adapter FYI. It would be nice to have C4 integration with Davis Weather stations!

  3. So I had a weird problem where my whole Unifi network went offline except for the Gateway.  After reboot, one mini 5 port switch would not come online in the console page. rebooted that, it came online and crashed the whole network. Traced it to the Sony TV which was off and hard wired in. Plug that in and crashed the network. The TV wifi was off and after power cycle the TV all was good again. What would cause a single device like this to be able to bring the network down when it was behaving fine for years with no changes?

  4. Nope he is 6 posts up and was responding to his dual question of UI integration.

    The home is actually currently on a Ubiquiti network with multiple Ubiquiti access points, network switches, and even 14-15 UB cameras.  Does anyone know if the Ubiquiti cameras can be integrated into C4?  I have LUMA at my lake house, and the integration with C4 is great.  My new house came with all the Ubiquiti stuff from a prior owner, and I'm hoping it will all work with C4.

     

  5. So I had Minke Air fans installed outside and the C4 fan controller does not play nice with the DC motors on these fans. It fries the reciever if the fan is started on low speed. Dealer did not pick up on the fact that the Fan controller does not work with DC fans. So replaced a fan a second time and want to control the fan by Bond Bridge. I have it linked up but need to know if I can just configure the fan controller to be all key press to link to bond that will control the fan. I guess I will have to have the fans on constant power bypassing the c4 fan switch as all the keys will act as a keypad. It seems the driver only has speed up/down and toggle. No direct speed of 1-6 like the original remote and the bond remote control. I did download the Bond 6 speed fan driver. Any way to have the C4 fan controller always on but still use the buttons as keypad buttons only?

  6. So sometimes my outdoor lighting schedule does not turn on at night or only some of the lights in the schedule will turn on. The zigbee signal is 3/4 and no reported send/receive errors. I think the issue may be I have multple schedules for lighting to all go off at the same time which I now staggered by one minute. Could this have been the issue and does C4 switches have any 2 way feedback to confirm that the switch action was actually executed?

  7. Niffty idea, but bad in practice. Unifi geofencing works sometimes so I would not depend on it as too many variable in the chain of phone, cell carrier, ISP, etc. Personally I would never depend on geofence to close the garage as will never know if it worked when you leave the fence. Now to open, pushing the button on the homelink is not that hard and always works! Now gepfence the alarm when all members of the house has left is what I want to see!

  8. Ok, second time my MinkaAire Xtreme fan died on start up! It seems to kill the fan if you start the fan at a speed other than high with the C4 Fan switch. The fan moves a little to find the correct direction as it normally does but this time it just never came back to life, just the same way the last one died. These fans have the integraded controller in them so no way to wire the juice direct to the fan. Anyone else have this issue??

  9. I have been using the music wake up feature without issues until my internet went down and the music did not play and there was no last train to the coast with the three men I admire most. So C4 developers, can you meke a default alarm sound if the internet goes down so people can wake up to an alarm. Sonos does this...

  10. Here is my 2 cents, I have a Pentair system with the intellitouch panel.  All you need from this point is this driver https://bnet4solutions.com/portfolio/bpentair/ for much cheaper than the ilink Pentair has and way more control of the system that pentair allows. The driver is great as you can add icons to all the C4 Touchsceens and monitor the pool chemisty if you have have the ichem, control all aux relays, etc!
