  1. Totally agree with the improved speed. Connection to my Chime camera when I get a notification over cellular or wifi is night and day faster.
  2. @VISYou can create zones in Composer Home. In the Chime "Settings" Tab - "Motion" - then Toggle On the "Motion Zone" you want to create to enable it. Give it a name and save it. Actually if you hover over the information icon to the immediate right of "Motion Zones" it will tell you what to do. There are also more detailed instructions in the documentation tab. It sounds like you are right there but just need to toggle the grey button and it will then turn blue to enable it.
  3. Interface: IOS & T4 Director Version: 3.3.0.628678 Mobile App Version: 322.25.0.1627 Confirmed Coffee House (station 6) & Lithium (station 34) not working through Control4 for either IOS or T4.
  4. just checked the Sirius app as well as C4 and both are showing Channel 6 for Coffee House. Coffee House plays fine through the native Sirius app as well as through my Amazon Alexa though.
  5. @Dueport Just checked and Coffee House is not working for me either. My other favorites play normally but not that one.
  6. I am glad to know I was not alone in this as I thought maybe my Sony was starting to fail after several years of being solid. I have recently been experiencing the same issues mentioned above especially with the TV not wanting to turn off (turning on has been fine). I ended up adding extra programming at the room level for when the room turns off to power off the TV. I know you shouldn't have to add that as it was not there before but since then it has been stable and turns it off each time.
  7. I am still on iOS 14.8 but I was also experiencing issues with my Chime and notifications ceasing to work. I power cycled the Chime and EA5 and nothing worked until I checked Composer HE and somehow under the Chime "Events" tab my motion toggles were unchecked. That was initially right around the upgrade to C4 OS 3.2.2. I just upgraded again to OS 3.2.3 this week but thankfully the Chime settings remained the same. I have had some other strange issues since then but trying to figure out if they are related. I will upgrade to iOS 15 soon so I will be on the look out then to see if this pops back up.
  8. Mine is working and I just upgraded yesterday.
  9. Ahh...do you need all of those components in order for the EQ feature to work? I have an EA controller but my audio matrix is the AMS16V3 and my amp is a third party.
  10. Following this question. I just updated as well and did the steps above along with a Navigator refresh but I don't see the EQ.
  11. @DLite I have a Chime POE without an NVR (looking to eventually add cameras with an NVR). Currently I can view live real time video using Intercom Anywhere or Camera view from my T4, C4 App and most of my EA controllers using the Camera button. I say most of my EAs as for some reason my EA5 only wants to pull a static image while the EA1s will pull a live feed but sometimes I do have to select cameras and back out to select again to get a live feed. The C4 Intercom Anywhere is the app you need to use for live dialog if you want to talk to somebody while they are at the door. Using Composer you can setup push notifications with still shots when motion is activated on the Chime. Using the History button in the C4 app or elsewhere you can pull motion activated events and watch short replays. I believe those are stored on the C4 cloud for about 2 weeks so you can go back and view things in the past without the use of an NVR. I think the biggest drawback at the moment when not using the NVR is the storage limit (2 weeks vs how ever many TB of storage your NRV has) as well as not being able to pull full live video from any point in the past unless I am just not aware how to do it. Meaning I can only pull 6 second videos of when motion was activated as opposed to watching hours of full replay from the past. Hope that helps.
  12. I had similar issues with the motion until I played around with the settings with an emphasis on the setting of the item size. I had the settings reversed and set for too large but fixed it by setting it smaller. Now I probably get about 90%+ of the motion I am looking for. However, I just tried my doorbell and now it is not ringing my iPhone again..
  13. @dinomI remember reading your earlier post about that and was prepared to not have OSD but was surprised when it worked on mine. That said, I am on OS 3.2.2 so not sure if there was a fix from the previous version. As I mentioned earlier I get streaming video but only on my EA-1s. My EA5 only gives me a recent still shot for some reason so I would like to figure that one out. Hopefully if you are on the latest OS version that is the fix for you.
  14. Yes, my EA-1's display the Chime video if I select camera under my watch list. Interestingly, the EA-1's show it as a live streaming video but my EA-5 only shows it as a static snapshot. I am not sure why that is and would love to know if I am missing a setting or need to change something in Composer. I don't yet have it programmed to automatically pop up on the screen for any of the controllers so I would also love to learn more as to how to accomplish that in Composer as well if somebody can share.
  15. Following this thread. I have experienced the same with it not always calling my phone when the button is pressed. Sometimes it seems to correct itself and others I have need to do a controller reboot.
  16. To my understanding when OS 3.0 was release is when it was just abandoned and not really broken. Here are a couple of other threads but one shows somebody supposedly has a workaround of sorts.
  17. Not sure what Control4 OS version you are currently on but the update to OS3 killed the ability to use the Apple Watch in anyway. I don't know if voice commands were ever available through the Apple watch at that time but I could be mistaken.
  18. @Dueportwere you able to figure out what was not working? I recently had my Chime installed and it seems to be running smoothly with the push notifications.
  19. Have you downloaded the separate Control4 Intercom Anywhere app?
  20. I have really enjoyed my DSC alarm system and how it seamlessly integrates with Control4. I have a DSC Power Series Control Panel 1616 with a DSC IT-100 adapter that connects it from the panel to the C4 system. There are great driver choices ranging from the free one (which I use) to paid ones which have great reviews as well. My system integrates the alarm panels, door, window, and motion sensors as well as a couple of DSC hardwired smoke detectors.
  21. Ha! I was trying to remember as well. I think we ran through a number of tests (deleting, reinstalling, creating new schedules) but I think*...it was when we power cycled the unit it magically cleared everything up. It was really odd and frustrating when it stopped as it was my dawn and dusk events for outdoor lights like the OP but it has been running ever since...knock on wood.. I am still using the text notification event that was created to let me know when the Dusk scene comes on.
  22. Had the exact same thing happen to me last year when I was on 2.10.6 (EA5) but it seemed like the reboot is what finally fixed it. @msgreenf has always been great and might be able to help.
  23. I believe Amazon Family (as well as Tidal Family) allows for 6 members total (including the primary) to have unique accounts.
  24. I just made the full switch yesterday from Amazon HD Family back to Tidal HiFi Family but bought it through Best Buy for a year for $179 so it was actually slightly cheaper than Amazon. It wasn't that Amazon was bad but Tidal just seems to have a slightly tighter integration with C4 and that is how I am primarily listening to it. One issue was that my son has a standalone Sonos Play 1 in his room and for some reason the Amazon Family plan would not allow him add his account to the Sonos app so I kept hearing from him (the issue was fixed once we switched back). I also still have a Qobuz subscription for the moment. Still debating if I will drop it as they have some music catalog differences. In general, I will say ever since I finally upgraded from OS2 to OS3 the C4 music experience has got up another notch as the metadata and cover art is much richer. Lastly, I am planning on eventually utilizing Roon someday so that was another decision for me to go back to Tidal due to their integration.
