  1. Flex IO works decently well for z wave, using some outlets, locks and a mimo on my garage doors (just need updated drivers, which is taking forever, to use use the contact sensors for position)
  2. FWIW, I have been using a ZIR for about 5 months now and it works well for z wave receptacles, door locks and on my garage doors with a Mimo2. The zwave dongle was horrible on the locks and range was never there even with repeaters. The ZIR doesn't have that issue. I am hoping they are still tweaking as I do still need some updates on the lock driver, the status "works" but is not something reliable at least with my schlage locks. The driver will trigger the status change before the lock actuation not request status after so if there is a jamb or you use a programmed function like a UI key with "lock all" status is not correct. Also adding codes and users was availble with the c4 drivers but not with this universal one which iss annoying as it would be nice to add and pause users. The contact sensor also needs channels added into it as I currently cannot get status of the garage doors, it's all wired but since I cannot get status I can't add that in currently Overall a great idea but still needs a bit of refinement. If you would like some z wave functionality then it can be done, and if you can write drivers then I'm sure this is even more powerful of a tool. Last item note it is limited to 50 items so in the case of my garage doors even though it's 1x mimo2 connected there are 4 channels/functions connected so that does count as 4. If you need more than 50 you could use a second device but so far I am still 41 devices away and besides possibly a few blinds I don't have much more I would be adding.
  3. Thanks, spoke to my dealer on both and they recommended the second since this is more of a temp thing anyway. But mentioned the driver so they are taking a look. This is a great Idea, already doing something semi like it making my hall a nightlight and setting the initial on percents in the bedrooms and bathrooms to 10% vs 40 so they aren't blinding on first wakeup Going to set it up with a sunrise reset so just incase I forget to turn it off it goes back to normal no matter what. I like the idea of leaving it low so that there is still some light. Off time to probably 30min or so.. This isn't something I need every night it's only one or twice this year it would have been nice to have but since the tech is there I would like to do it.
  4. Hi, Does anyone know if there is a way to temp turn off keypad control, in my kids rooms when they done want to go to bed they turn the lights back on and then it becomes a game with me turning them off in app. Ways that could semi work is - 1. True/False and if light turns on turn it off. But then the light is still going on and off. 2. Buttons I'm using are 2+ spaces and then use the hidden button to control the load, program the top to press the hidden and break that with a UI button and True/false. But with that the arrow buttons would still work. 3. Do #2 and program the dim sweep to the bottom buttons instead of a link but then I'll loose functionality as I use the last button pushed for volume control for the room as well. 4. Use a keypad that is identical , hide the keypad dimmer and use programmed pushes and break those with the UI True/False. (I don't want to do this as its more wiring, hiding the switch and more equipment) I would like to basically disable both load button and bottom arrows so they do nothing using a UI button in the app and then turn it back on when they are asleep. Also this would allow me to still be able to use the app to control at that time.
  5. You need to be in the app for it to work/make sure you can use spotify connect and adjust volume with the phone for the app. As in you may just be adjusting ring tone volume. Also it will not adjust volumes on your amps/matrix switch this way, what it does is changes the spotify input volume itself.
  6. Following this as well, very interested if this is possible.
  7. Modern Forms fans are C4 compatible via wifi, they are working great and even have a UI button setup so they all turn on every other day in reverse for 15min to help with the dust settling.
  8. Thanks was going to try it today as one of my streams popped back up yesterday and the other did not but funny enough both are present today. If it happens again I'll try rebooting
  9. Luckily I have sonos as well but I just noticed yesterday that I don't have my c4 sources in Spotify anymore. I can still play the last played if I hit it in c4 itself but can't choose anything new as the source isn't there to cast onto, all my recievers and sonos still show. Anyone else see this? Currently on 3.1.3
  10. Good to know, I have been emailing back and forth and so far the person I have been speaking with is helpful and was working on it.
  11. Power loss, leds don't reset and have to go lock get thermostats to have them show back up as active on C4. ANNEX is working on the Nu Heat driver and has been super helpful. The reset macro worked on reboot on 3.1.1 but now on 3.1.3 it isn't working, the button setup in comfort does but not the automatic one.
  12. Not sure if this is the correct place to post this or not but here it goes. I'm setting up a macro for when I have a power loss and the entire system reboots. LEDs on all the keypads are done but I dont have a way to reset my Nuheat floor heating. In the driver there is a "get thermostats" button that needs to be clicked in composer and looking for a way to program that in so it can be reset automatically and I would put a button in navigator as well to manually do it.
  13. Thank you, I also made a Boolean for the night time itself to make it work 30 min before sunset and 30 after sunrise. This will help me alot with the my subwoofers as well (understanding now how to do variables better). I have alot to learn but this is big for me for now.
  14. Look at using "Fully Kiosk" instead of action tiles or along with action tiles. Currently using it on my Fire tablets for wall mount and a huge fan as its limiting tablet use to just be home control. Action tiles has a few neat features but for 7 euro this is a pretty sweet setup they are set to use the camera also so the go to sleep and when I walk by they wake.
  15. Looking To Create night lights that will turn on an off via sunrise and sunset but not affect the current state of the light if it is on. As in Kitchen light is on I want to stay on vs dim to the 1%. Additionally if the light gets turned off it will come back on to the 1% when its night time. Last request is that its toggleable so i have the option to turn it off or turn the feature on if I wanted. If I schedule a scene it will go to that state no mater what, and if the light is turned off it will deactivate and not automatically turn on. So I used a UI KEY button and try programming and it works if I select it each time but doesn't automatically work. I also tried making a variable and it didnt seem to change anything but I may be doing it wrong. I am hoping I am explaining this correctly
