Just wanted to provide mujtaba.khokhar with a big thank you! This community is great and Muj has the patience of a saint when working with a newbie to this ecosystem like myself. I'm all sorted out, and Muj was also able to correctly identify the brand and model number of my blinds simply by looking at the connector photo above, which he confirmed once he became my pro. Thanks again to everyone that contributed on this thread!

Thanks, that's what I was worried about. Hoping the pro will get back to me and not charge an arm and a leg to simply register. I'm really struggling to find out how all the blinds are connected or what brand they are to see if there's an independent app or remote I can use to control them. The control 4 unit has a serial port connected to what looks like another stripped Ethernet cord. Before I tear apart one of these to try to find a label, does anyone know just by looking at this photo?

Google assistant is enough for my needs lol, except I can't control the blinds without control 4. There is no window blind remote, just the control 4 remote which works fine but each and every window panel requires a separate toggle. I've gone ahead and created a control 4 account, but can't register the controller to the account. It gave me 3 options to connect the account to the controller. Touchpad: don't have one, just a regular control 4 remote Tv: I carried a tv over to the control 4 controller and tried an hdmi cable. Nothing appeared on the screen. Myhome pc app: will try this next. Hopefully I dont need a pro just to reregister this device.

Thanks for the fast reply! 1) So do I need my current pro to authorize my account? I have physical access of course to the control4 box which is a C4-EA1-V2 and I found the registration page to create an account on the control4 website. 2) I don't require remote (away from home) control over the blinds. 3) The IFTTT driver sounds like it would allow me to use voice commands. I could write a simple routine in google assistant that triggers the activity in C4 assuming I keep it. 4) I'm positive all it controls are the blinds. The smart lights, cameras and thermostats were installed by myself, and there was no other A/V gear or smart devices in the house. I'm trying to locate the blind manufacturer, will likely have to take off one of the panels on the shades. Thanks for that tip!

Hello, I recently purchased a new property with C4 built in. The previous owner's dealer is completely unresponsive, but fortunately the owners have left me with detailed instructions to open/close the window blinds with a physical remote, which is all that this system currently controls. I would like to be able to use the phone app to open/control the windows, but I can't get a response from the dealer to setup an account. Is this something I require a dealer for or can I setup an account on my own? Separately, I use google home to control my nests, smart lights and cameras. It would be great if I could use google home to open and close the blinds as well. Does this absolutely require 4sight, or is there a way to use IFTTT to voice control my blinds as well? Apologies for the basic questions, I'm new to this system and not by choice.
