  1. Yes Yale and Control4 told me the lock wasn’t supported and I had given up with getting it ID’d. It was only the fact I happened to speak to someone who had actually done it so I gave it a try. 3 button presses and then ID’d in. My firmware version is 1.1.0 and I think I installed it late 2019. As for zigbee range I’m not sure as I have a keypad next to the door so it’s never been an issue for me. Hope that helps.
  2. I did. It was an easy fix in the end. All you need to do is press the identify button 3 times instead of the normal 4 with C4. The only think I would say, there isn’t much you can do. Because of the way multipoint locks work you can’t lock the door but you can unlock. The only useful element for me is to get the status of the lock so I know of it’s been locked or not. This lock does not track user entry or anything as far as I have seen. Hope that helps.
  3. Thanks, yes I'm working with my dealer to get this resolved. Thought I would try on here to see if there was any suggestions. I have my dealer also helping out with a video matrix but that is another story following a disappointing installation with Just Add Power.
  4. Thanks for this info. Having played around today it looks to be only affecting devices through my EA-5. I have a retrofit system so using wireless adaptive phase dimmers etc. The switches connected to other EA’s zigbee network are no problem, it’s only a problem with switches connected to the EA’5. What is also strange is on one switch I have buttons for 4 individual loads and one working a hue lamp (only 2 loads are connected through this switch, the other two loads are connected through an adjacent switch). The four loads have the behaviour of on,off,on and won’t update on the navigator yet the hue lamp works flawlessly and instantly updates. Do you still both believe this is a recent driver issue? If so, what is the easiest way to diagnose this? Is there a way to check recent install logs?
  5. I seem to be having some very strange C4 activity. The first issue is the feedback is incredibly slow both within the iOS app and on the SR260. When I turn the lights on it doesn't seem to update any icons for a long period of time. In addition I have one room where the lighting icon on the front screen shows there being one or many of the light loads on yet when I go into the lights for that room they are all off... Probably most annoying is the behaviour when turning on and off lights. This happens on multiple room and loads. When turning on, the lights will turn on, then off and then back on again. When turning off, the lights turn off, then on and then back off again. I was initially concerned this a wifi network issue as it was happening when using the app (I only have iOS devices), however I have since discovered the same behaviour when using an SR260 which I presume only uses the Zigbee network. There was hope the new update might fix the issues but having just done the update, it has not fixed the issues. Any one experienced the same of any ideas on what might fix the problem?
  6. I have ordered a hue plug to test on the Christmas lights. Any ideas if you can use it for a fan. I presume you have to just play around with the programming and make it look like a light but being used for something else.
  7. This is the link to the Hue plug which does seem to be for lamps so it doesn't seem as though it works very well in the app for other products. https://www.philips-hue.com/en-gb/p/hue-smart-plug/8718699689308 I have found the Kasa stuff, any ideas on which plug is best? https://www.tp-link.com/uk/home-networking/smart-plug/ The KP115 makes sense as it has energy monitoring but not out yet. Any ideas on what is the difference between the Tapo P100 and the KP105?
  8. Haha yes sorry I realised that when I read your message. Do the Hue versions not work very well with C4? What is the Kasa integration like with C4? I did see Wemo but it looks like Belkin is discontinuing the products in the UK.
  9. I was hoping to integrate with Apple HomeKit too which I don’t think they do.
  10. Hi, Is there a smart plug suitable for the UK which also works with Control4? I have seen the Hue version and I already have hue lamps and bridge so is that the best option? I know that ideally it is to be used for lights which one will be (Christmas tree lights) but the other will be for a fan. Thanks
  11. Does anyone know of a way to group two Sonos zones through Control4?
  12. I have a c4 dealer but unfortunately they don’t offer alarm systems. Near brighton
  13. I'm looking for an alarm installation company based in the south of the UK. Any recommendations out there? Thanks
  14. I have got something similar to this in my garage. I found you need to be millimetre perfect with the supports on the Control4 keypad. They need to sit on the surround of the surface box to ensure the facias fit correctly.
  15. Yes, this is what I have done which seems to be working very well.
  16. I had a timer originally but it didn't work very well because the curtains would sometimes open in complete darkness as we are getting into winter. This way the blinds will only open when sunrise has taken place.
  17. Ahh, that's what I thought. I have put this in so will test it out. Thanks for the guidance.
  18. This sounds like it would work, however I thought a boolean only allowed a true or false so how would you set a value? Am I missing something?
  19. I'm looking for some advice on how to configure wake up alarms. I currently have it set up that when the wake up alarm is triggered, if sunrise has taken place the blinds open. If sunrise has not happened there is a delay of 20 minutes before the blinds then open. What I would really like to do is have it set so the blinds open when sunrise takes place. This is how I'm thinking about it: If sunrise is true --> all blinds open If sunrise is false --> activate lighting scene, when sunrise becomes true --> all blinds open Is anyone able to share ideas on how I might do this? I did think of using the scheduler but I don't want the blinds opening at sunrise unless the alarm has gone off.
  20. I have a multipoint door so only the Conexis L1 is suitable. The old version which had a keypad on it was supported so struggling to understand why the current version wouldn’t work.
  21. Is there anywhere to find compatibility of Yale products with Control4? I have previously been told it wasn’t supported.
  22. Has anyone had success with finding a way to integrate Yale Conexis L1 lock into C4? My understanding is C4 didn’t support it but I’m hoping that has changed.
  23. Yeh as far as I’m aware, these are only held in with the faceplate and do not “click” into place like the other buttons.
