  1. Replying to my own note since I've now personally used and compared both the Finite Labs and Varietas Driver versions. Here's my limited assessment: Cost FiniteLabs list price on Driver Central is $250 Varietas Driver is listed as $200. Strongly encourages use of a custom Raspberry Pi image for setup & management. (Or buy a pre-installed Pi for $225) Support Both provide quick responsive tech support to email requests Both provide support for the lights/switches that I use in my system - I have UnifiProtect for cameras which I manage using a separate Homebridge plugin Ease of Use Finite Labs is the clear winner here. My reasons are: Integrates with stock homebridge (so you can easily use homebridge gui to manage set of C4 and non-C4 plugins Loads the homebridge gui right from within the C4 management gui no extra plugins/custom pi images to manage I didn't do benchmarking, so this may be inaccurate but the FInite Labs -feels- more responsive. (Could be my imagination)
  2. Hi, Was curious if anyone's done a side/by/side comparison of these two Apple Homekit integrations? Thanks!
  3. Hi, I'm on a legacy Luma NVR (the one that only works with ActiveX controls and Internet Explorer) and an Analog Camera system. Thinking of swapping out for ubiquiti protect (I already have the NVR) and doing IP/POE over Coax. Anybody familiar with this product and can share their experiences? It looks surprisingly affordable. LINOVISION POE Over Coax EOC
  4. Bahhh! I can be such a dolt sometimes! lol And you're right on the other thing too - just pick one switch and apply to all other lights in the project.
  5. Hi, I want to reset my switch LEDs (Gen1) to their default Top/Bottom On/Off values and I thought this would happen automatically by making the changes in "Lighting Defaults" at the top of the project. But it doesn't seem to be taking. I also have LED Wizard installed which is why I want to reset the defaults (have "overplayed" with it a bit...). I have set/reset different LED colors and rebooted the EA-5 director without any luck. I'm probably missing something trivial at this point. And speaking of trivial, do y'all have a best practice for testing out scheduled actions beyond setting the schedule 2 minutes in the future and waiting? Like the "Advanced Lighting Scenes" has an Activate Scene button but there's not a scheduled test button? Thanks,
  6. Thanks. That did it with one minor exception - looks like I had to be on the same subnet in order to get connected. (I have IOT devices on their own subnet). Switched to the IOT subnet and it worked fine. And switching back (once connected) works just fine too. Also - seems faster, which if true ... thanks!
  7. Hi, For several days now, my iPhone app won't connect locally (I don't have/use insight for remote access). Other devices (C4 Tablets, iPad) work just fine. iPhone App version is: Version 322.19.0.1515 (from 5/11/22) Version on C4 devices is: 3.2.4.615802 Errors I notice in the log say: [Error][RealmRepository.swift:32] > [Realm Repository] Error: Migration is required due to the following errors: - Property '....' has been removed/added (lots of these) The logs show it otherwise connecting, proper username/password, etc.. I have tried "Reset App" but I get the same results.
  8. Hi, Does C4 support the Aeotec hub when used to control blinds? (The blinds themselves are Somfy). It's what the blind installer is recommending for Alta Window Fashions but I think I'd rather go with the Bliss Automation (HUB) which I can see has a C4 driver? Thoughts?
  9. Hi, Probably operator error, but I'm not seeing the Slider functionality on my tablet / ios device when setting up the wiz lights. The lights and slider drivers are added to the room, and the room is connected. But the Slider functionality is only the "on/off" lightbulb. What am I missing? Thanks.
  10. Hi, Does C4 have any or standard upgrade pricing discounts or will this vary by dealer? For example, I want to replace: 33 x LDZ-101 6 x LSZ-3W1 4 x KPZ-6B1 With newer gear (contemporary, essential) as well as add about 10 more switches as the previous owner hadn't gone "finished the job" when they went in with Control4. So, this ain't cheap and I get that this is definitely a first-world problem. So I'm asking if any dealer will pretty much give the same price (C4 discounting) or if there's a lot of value in shopping around.
  11. Let me know what you find. I have a TCL (Roku) TV and about 20% of the time, the power-off doesn't and I have to go back in (select a source) and then power-off works. Is there a way for "Room Off" to send the power-off IP command twice?
  12. I just installed and got this working over the weekend. I agree that it takes trial and error - also, not sure if this is applicable or not but it seemed like the first time it took a while to get the connection established. I think I was too impatient -- got distracted for 5-10 minutes and found that it was working! So try 1,2,5,6 in the C4 driver first, reboot the security panel and wait. Repeat. It seems to me that in your case, the AUI # is incorrect (either in the panel or in the C4 config), if you are getting all of the other right messages. I also recommend ensuring the serial connection is accurate by connecting to a computer and verifying you actually see the data (or have your dealer unbind the serial port and use a terminal window to run minicom against the port [/dev/ttyUSB1 in my case]) to ensure traffic is flowing properly.
  13. Knoll Amps sold. The 16 channel audio switch is still available.
  14. Hello, I run unifi gear but appreciate that it's not recommended / supported by ontrol4. My only comment is that you're better off to use multiple wired discrete APs than a mesh network. The mesh network itself uses the RF spectrum and you will require more "hops" to get to a wired ethernet interface out vs. using multiple APs. Good luck!
  15. I'm led to believe that the LDZ-101 does not have an available color change kit? I'd love to be wrong because I sorely want to swap out my almond.
