  1. any USA based Lutron Palladiom dealers here? Have a customer who needs a large order of 42 - WIN-BRK-LWC-BLA brackets.
  2. Got the new firmware however whenever I try to use the voice button, the search menu comes up but nothing is detected. the bars when you hold down on the remote show up but they don’t on the tv. Then I get a pop up that says the remote is disconnected. After 10 seconds it reconnects. Sometime the voice then works until you put it down for 30 seconds then the process of disconnecting and reconnected repeats, other times it doesn’t work at all. Any ideas?

    T3 Mid box

    Need a mid (power) box for a t3 touch screen. Please PM me if you can help!
  4. Rack has a 8x8 video matrix that drives a home theater through a marantz amp and 7 other tvs throughout the house. Also in the rack client has a C4 Audio Matrix Switch (AMS) driving a C4 8 zone amp that drives the laundry room where the rack is located and 7 other rooms of ceiling speakers. In the rack I am using the amp's HDMI monitor2 out to drive a rack monitor so you can see what is playing in the theater while you swap bluerays etc at the rack. As such this is always displaying the same content as the theater room but it has its own remote so you can select the right sources on the matrix while at the rack and also turn off the monitor when not in use. I would like to feed audio zone 2 from the amp back into the AMS to then drive the in ceiling speaker above the rack. Is this possible? Attached are the laundry room end points but currently there is no video sound. Normal listening sources (tunein etc) work fine in the laundry room so I know the physicals connections are right. It just seems that composer doesn't know to switch to the zone 2 audio when the laundry room is in watch mode. Any ideas?
  5. In terms of time the reality is folks figured out how to get an HC800 on 3.3.1 in less than 24 hours from the release and to be clear it runs just fine excluding OSD which was already gone. This proves this is a business decision that C4 made its not a technical hurdle. I'm more curious if C4 would be open to allow a 3rd party to create a driver to use a HC800 as IO as was done in the past? This would solve both issues, people would be happy to still use their HC800 and C4 doesn't have to worry about supporting anything.
  6. Looks like they are updating a sr260 a bit too. Notice the buttons specifically the watch and listen buttons are now icons and the page up and down etc are different too
  7. depending on what you mean by analytics you can use hikvision with alans chowmain driver. The analytics run on the NVR and then you just set it up to notify the alarm center which gives you something to program against on the c4 side. I use LTS cameras which are just rebranded hik with that driver. If they like the alarmdotcom setup and just want it in C4 to view you can just use a generic driver with the HTTP feed
  8. does this driver have the ability to program off when the sprinklers run and are set to run? I would like to change the color of the keypad by our back door say 10 mins before the sprinklers run so my wife knows not to let the dogs out. Additionally I would like it to turn that color off say 30mins after the sprinklers run. Thanks!
  9. Would it be possible for c4 to see when a zone is set to go off and then use that to change the color of a keypad using one of these controllers? My wife keeps letting the dogs out only to find them soaked. Would want to change the keypad color by the door a few mins before the zone is scheduled to go off. I live in AZ so only way to keep the grass is to have it run multiple times a day.
  10. FYI just realized that the chowmain paid driver on driver central now works with FireTv. Will be testing that to see if it will be more stable. Will report back if I find it better.
  11. agree this is rock solid. I am still having issues with the new IP driver randomly dropping off sometimes. Only solution is to go to the rack and power cycle the firestick, my wife made us switch back to this lol
  12. apologize on further investigation it looks like with the new updated driver you are correct it doesn't work. It did work with the original "new" driver that was only published for a few days before taken down. Not sure if those are related but it was a cool feature so it would be nice if they brought it back.
  13. I run into this also. I've found sometimes you actually need to use the original firestick remote to just press one button and then the c4 remote starts working again without a reboot. Also sometimes on reboot it doesn't work with C4 control until you use the firestick remote first and also noticed sometimes it just hangs and the only solution is to rescan for firesticks and reselect the firestick in composer for it to start working again. All of these have happened in a home with 5 firesticks each set up with separate drivers. Not sure if having so many firesticks integrated into the project is also causing issues. Much better than the old slow response driver but still very far from being "rock solid". Another solution is installing with FLIRC IR adapters when possible as these solves both the reliability issues and the slow response issues of the old drivers.
  14. The folder I was speaking of is accessed when you click the C4 red button on your remote and navigate to watch or click watch and scroll down to the Apps folder. Its not made visible by default, if you go to the navigator tab in composer and edit your watch list you can add it back into the menu. The default name is something like "firetv apps" or "Firetv switcher" which you have to add to the room to be visible. If anyone needs help and doesn't have access to composer or their dealer cant figure it out, I can remotely get you set up. Just send me a PM.
  15. I have an 8x8 HDMI matrix setup to distribute my video sources around the house. The matrix is a binary 120 which has actual HDMI out not ethernet/HDbase. I dont have any way to easily run new cable so for now 1080 has to do. I also have 2 ceiling speakers in each of the bedrooms powered by a C4 amp/matrix which is in the central rack next to the binary HDMi matrix. I want to make the tv volume come from these ceiling speakers. My understanding is I can use an HDMI audio extractor to send the audio to my audio matrix/amp to then play on the ceiling speakers. My question is would I be better off putting the audio extractor on the HDMI inputs before the video matrix so each inputs sound can be sent to the room playing the tv or should I put the extractor on the video matrix outputs so each rooms volume goes to the ceiling speaker? Does it matter? Only thing I can think of is if I wanted to play the input volume IE the apple TV in another room in addition to the room the video matrix is sending the video it would be better to do the extractor on the input. I doubt I'd use that but anything else I should consider?
