Are you thinking of "Quick Select Rooms"? That doesn't prevent the user from changing the room though.

Could I ask where? I have been through every menu in Composer Pro and I am not finding it. Or am I being dense and this is buried in Navigators or Programming somewhere?

What I am trying to do is to "lock" an SR260 remote to a room so the user can't click "list" and change the room it is in or mess with other items - especially factory reset. Is there a way to do this?

I have an ask for a very sensitive sleeper. The user wants all backlights and LEDs in their room to be off when the dark threshold is reached on a C4 6 button keypad. However, they want to be able mash the keypad, have the LEDs/backlight turn on for a period (30 seconds?), show the current status of the keypad LEDs, make an adjustment, and then have it darken after so many seconds of inactivity. I am trying to get my head around a way to do this and I am coming up empty or with really ugly solutions (a zillion "if" statements and timers). Is there driver (3rd party or otherwise) for this or some obvious way that I am not thinking of?

This is great. Thanks all. It sounds like AVRs are much less finicky and have a much longer legacy than many other items.

Similar to how Sony TVs are frequently spec'd with Control4 for quality and compatibility reasons, what are your go to AVRs?

Yeah, power state is not coming through nor volume. Ok, hrm, I might have said I could do something I can't.

I am working on a Sony. Is the Sony integration only one way? Meaning, Control4 can send a command but the TV will never update Control4 of local changes? The hope is to not use a Control4 remote and use the TV remote directly. Though the hope is we can still trigger off of the TV states. TV off - lower a lift. Using input X, apply programming Y. In my testing it really seems things are only one way though.

Doesn’t matter - your mention of the Experience button got me digging and I stumbled upon it. You got me aimed and that’s what I needed. Cheers!

Bah, I just found the Relay Lift Controller driver. This is perfectly perfect.

Ah, that’s brilliant! Now to find an icon that’s not miserable...

I feel like I’m missing something basic. I have a Z2IO and a Nexus TV lift using the dry contact control. Relay 1 is common and the “up” wire. Relay 2 is a jumper of common and the “down” wire. Fine. Where I’m having a mental block is programming. The generic TV lift driver only accepts a single connection for a relay and expects to toggle between open and close on a single relay. Here I’ve got R1 closed means up and R2 closed means down - plus if you want to stop mid open or close, you close the up to stop a down and close the down to stop an up. (I swear this isn’t an Abbot and Costello bit.) How do I do this so there aren’t 10 icons in the app and can program toggles and the such? Is there some other driver I’m missing?

I had similar dropping off Wifi issues - but a firmware update or two ago it became rock solid. Are the fans on the latest firmware?

For sure. I have blown things up with stupid programming loops and this definitely wasn't that.

I never did. I suspect it was a firmware issue as I haven't had a single issue since 3.2.1.

Every load on a Control4 Dimmer/Relay has an energy section in Composer... Example Is there a driver or otherwise that allows this data to be pushed via some method to InfluxDB or Prometheus or anything?

Woah! A Vera killer. If anyone gets this in hand, please report back your experience.

I had a particularly nasty issue with an EA3 rebooting. I never knew why and we could never catch it in the act when it happened - every 3 weeks seemingly randomly. Tech support was no good as we couldn't reproduce the issue. What to do? Sadly, SNMP went away in 3.x so I went a bit brute force to monitor this box and ended up using direct SSH login. This template pulls the load 1, 5, and 15 values, swap usage, free RAM (with buffers taken out to show actual available free RAM should a process request it) and CPU user, sys, idle and nice values, top 10 CPU and top 10 RAM using processes. There are also graphs for the numeric data. I have attached a Zabbix template that you can use. It is pre-populated with the old default Control4 root password. You can find/replace that with whatever password is on your controller. If you want to expand this template or have ideas on something I should add (or think this is very very wrong and have a better idea), let me know. Hopefully this helps someone. Seeing that bump in CPU at 2:34PM and then having an event to correlate to (Were you home? What were you doing? Your 3 year old was doing WHAT with the Neeo?!) is a good feeling.

Just be sure to ask in the next 3 weeks.

Wow, that must have JUST dropped as it didn't show when I started up Composer yesterday. Yet there it is now. Let me update and see what happens.

Composer Pro: 3.2.0, Build 587744-res / OS Package: 3.2.0.587744-res Director version: 3.2.0.586513-res Being on by default would be a surprise as this is just what ever gets crammed down when Composer phones home and finds a new version. EDIT: Thinking about it, I wish I had paid attention to how old the logs are as I am pretty sure they started before 3.2.0.

Months and months ago C4 support was remoted in trouble shooting a serial port. Tech forgot to shut off logging you think?

I just got a popup that my machine was almost out of disk space. That shouldn't be, I thought to myself. So I fired up WinDirStat and low and behold C:\users\myuser\AppData\Roaming\Control4\logs was filled with giant logs (250MB ish) going back months adding up to many 10s of gigabytes. Is there a clean up check box I have never seen or heard of to clean these up or limit their retention.. or maybe to turn them off all together? They don't seem to be terribly useful as it's all network chatter between Composer and Director.

You win the Internet for today, my friend. Great idea and I am ashamed I didn’t think of it. I’m seeing them for $25.
