Are you sure that it can block access to entire rooms? It seems from the description and screenshots that it can only block access to specific devices and buttons.

Solved it. For the benefit of others, what we were doing wrong was trying to use Control4’s built in lighting scenes to change colours on the Hue bulbs. It worked but the transition was usually abrupt, no matter how you configured the ramp numbers. The solution is to use the built-in presets feature of the Hue colour lamp group driver (available as actions in the Programming tab). You first set the lamp to the colour you want by manually dialling in the red, green and blue channels and then save it as a numbered preset by going to the driver’s Actions tab (in System Design), and then you recall that preset through programming whenever needed. There is a ramp setting there, which works perfectly. Furthermore, if you want to set up a party mode where it randomly cycles through different colours, the driver already has an option specifically for that, so you don’t have to mess about with presets either. All in all, the whole thing works extremely smoothly, and I would be happy to recommend Philips Hue bulbs and downlighters to my clients in lieu of using standard fixtures hooked up to Control4 dimmers, particularly if they want colour or temperature control. Of course, it would be more expensive to go that route in a lot of situations, so it is not always the best choice.

Get rid of the "device not responding" error with voice commands. Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

I don't think there's any answer to this. You're right about the yellow and there's no orange at all (it's the same as the yellow). Ideally, the interface should only show the colours the indicator is capable of showing when picking them. Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

It's ridiculous that Control4 does not come with inbuilt support for fundamental features like Google Cast and built-in Alexa/Google Assistant/Siri integration (i.e. without having to rely on Echo devices). Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

Hello. I have three Philips Hue bulbs added to my Control4 installation and I have them grouped as one using the free Control4 drivers. I've set five seconds fades when turning them on and off and they work just fine. I also have a bunch of colour scenes (blue, green, red, etc.), all of them with five-second ramp settings, but the bulbs don't ramp gracefully when changing from one scene to another. When the lights are green and I select the red scene, they instantly change to magenta first and then gradually shift to red over five seconds. My understanding is that when I change the scene, it instantly turns off the green channel and turns both blue and red to 100% brightness, producing magenta—and then it gradually ramps down blue from 100 to 0. Is there any way for me to have them always gracefully move from one colour to another over the defined ramp period? Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

It's been one year since this post and despite there having been several updates to Control4, we're still at status quo. Is there never going to be a fix for this? Thousands of cheap home automation systems have gotten the Alexa integration down pat—it's the one feature every client is looking for, after all—and Control4 doesn't seem to be able to get it right. How come dealers don't raise a stink about this? This is truly bizarre.

It's a reference to the playlist. It always streams the latest version of it. Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

What's your specific requirement? Are you having trouble adding a Spotify preset to Control4 or having a keypad button start playing back a saved preset? Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

Hey, this is a great tip! Thank you. Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

It's the difference between custom installed hardware and handheld gadgets. When something is hardwired into the home, the cost, disruption and hassle involved with upgrading it is greater, assuming it's even possible. I don't blame the user for not expecting to have to do so for at least a decade once installed. Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk

My point exactly. We've been over this multiple times over just the last month, so I didn't want to elucidate. Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk
