My wife's did the same. Bounced controller...nothing. Bounced Chime...nothing. Logged out and then logged back in C4 app and she can now see the users/devices to call and can call them. However, her device doesn't ring at all for direct intercom calls or rings from the doorbell. Just gets an alert immediately after that the call was missed. Same. Can get alerted for any and all calls and can answer, but can't call chime without a button push and get video, only audio.

Not 100% accurate as there are some limitations in what can be done in HE compared to Pro when it comes to logic flow, but if you know the tricks there are ways to enable certain logic flow types that are normally disabled in HE.

When using the mini-apps for watch activities, not listen, is it possible to have it show the app icon (Netflix, Plex, etc.) instead of the device icon (Roku, Nvidia Shield, Apple TV)?

Is there some documentation on Apple's Developer site about this functionality?

It's already in place for iOS and has for a while. Doorbell rings come in like phone calls. Also, it hasn't been a locked system for a few years now and CallKit is easy to use: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/callkit

I use Z2IO with two rail sensors and one door magnet. I only have one large garage door. Live in Wisconsin, so air temps outside of -20F to 105F. Garage temps range from 20F to 65F in winter depending if heat is on in garage. Summer gets upwards of about 85 in garage. Humidity as low as 20% in Winter as high as 80% in summer in side the garage. No issues thus far for the past year. They've been installed. I use the following set, but only one door magnet that aligns with the rail sensor: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KYGJT4W Two tips: If using Z2IO to also send the pulse signals with an opener that supports the 'shorting' method, be sure to set the pulse around 1500ms or so---too little and your garage door can get into an endless loop of opening and closing (I may or may not be speaking from experience) Be aware that when your controller resets, your Z2IO will also show state changes.

Far more conservative than the others but still looks cool/beautiful IMO: https://www.wharfedaleusa.com/products/elysian-4-floorstansing-speaker

YESSS! As a primary Linux user (with a MacBook Pro for portable), it's frustrating. I ended up creating a Windows VM on a Proxmox host exclusively for Composer. I then use Apache Guacamole to RDP into that VM through any web browser, but I shouldn't have to go through all that to make it available in a browser.

YEAAAAH.....Jacob could use a Xanax or two....

Please don't take offense to this, but if you're already using VLANs and using a Mikrotik device, I'm a bit confused what help you'd need. If you're having difficulty configuring the Mikrotik to work with C4, or in general, I'd highly recommend getting an easier to manage router. There is a reason Mikrotik generally has a fairly small hold on the SOHO or even Prosumer market. They're not bad by any means. They're just very robust and feature-filled for the enterprise environment. Even seasoned network engineers tend to go through their trainings since it's that robust of a product. Best of luck!

I suppose it depends on what "vacation" programming means to you... If you want to simulate being home....the above mockupancy functionality will accomplish that. If you want to automatically have things trigger when the house is empty, the IFTTT Geofence-Pushover combo will accomplish this if every member of the household has an iPhone or Android device. I presently use this and it's worked perfectly for almost a year now w/o issue and have triggers for things such as first arrival, any arrival and last departure.

Not used this exact model from Global Cache (use a bunch of PoE Flex w/various attachments for Serial or IR (with up to 3 disparate blasters) and never had a single issue with them. They make good stuff and as @zaphod mentioned these sorts of products are a far cheaper solution that an EA-1.

Have to wonder if this is in any way because of the weird or lack of communication at times and wishy-washy answers from last week's down time.

It will need to be added in Composer Pro by a dealer. I just went through the same thing with @chopedogg88

Wait…is there supposed to be a different stations and channels on the media page here? I feel my labels are really old and not the most recent. I had gotten the internet radio added recently to have radio stations added more easily by URL but this past week stations wouldn’t load on any of my Neeos and just lock up.

Also, if someone has an idea they want to try with a driver they can usually get a 3 day, 7 day, 14 day, 30 day, or 90 day trial (depending on the driver) thru their dealer and that helps.

If you aren't set on Zappiti yet and don't need anything right away, I would wait until they have a Dolby Vision compatible player out. The Shield Pro can currently playback mkv UHD backups in Plex created from MakeMKV that have Dolby Vision metadata, but that's about it. Per Zappiti (link here)...it's currently in Beta/Work in Progress as of about a month ago, but no updates since. It will likely need to be new players that have the newer DV (and also HDR10+) compatible RTD1619DR chip compared to what is currently in the Zappiti's, which is the older RTD1295 that only supports HDR10.

Now there's a blast from the past! Playing movies directly through the Movies interface can generally be a bit crufty. Likely something with connections not set up correctly, but I'll have to have one of the experts/pros weigh in on that. That said, I'd recommend looking into using either Plex with Nvidia Shield as the client (if you care about passthrough audio) or any Roku you can hardwire to the network if you don't care about audio and just want want integration. Both the shield and the Roku now provide the same level of integration and directly launch into mini-apps. More robust option would be to look into Zappiti, but this is not a server-client setup, but you can have an NFS mount point the Zappiti can access. @alanchow and team have a great driver for Zappiti as well for full media playback/metadata integration.

Yes...native support is built in. However, programming for it (button press starts specific playlist or album) is not available. You do have the ability to search through all music and playlists on a touch panel or the mobile app. No. If you're wanting to play something that doesn't have a mini/streaming app within C4, then yes (MLB app comes to mind). However, you can search and control all sources w/in C4 very easily. See screenshots below from SiriusXM and Qobuz:

Would agree...anything that starts triggering auth requests or actions when a service is not available is a MASSIVE security hole. Personally...I would like to see the current cloud infra used as a fallback for connections that can't be made locally first directly. While I'm sure to catch some flak, take a look at how Ubiquiti recently updated accessing their controller through their apps: direct connection when on the same LAN is the default, otherwise through their servers you go when not on the same LAN.

All relevant information for creating C4 Drivers can be found here: https://github.com/control4/docs-driverworks A licensing agreement will need to be executed, however, for you and your organization to acquire and use Composer Pro. You can reach out to Quyen (pronounced Quinn) Dungan at Snap and she'll be able to get you squared away with licensing. Email format is <first>.<last>@snapone.com

"Control4 Cloud Services are partially degraded due to planned maintenance" ie, somebody executed the Ansible playbook against the wrong inventory.

Dog Seriously!

Would highly recommend you become familiar with Linux/GNU principles and commands if you're going to have and use a NAS. Also familiarize yourself with mounting network drives in Windows and your life using Windows with a NAS will become much easier. QNAP should also have some support documentation to help you tackle this. Would also recommend that unless you've added some plugins, you don't use WMP to rip CDs if you care about quality. You'll likely want to rip to FLAC as it's going to be better quality than mp3 and the same quality as WAV, but a smaller footprint with lossless compression. Not a Windows user (Linux and Mac) outside a VM to run Composer HE, but I believe programs like VLC and Exact Audio Copy still can handle the task on Windows just fine.
