Sounds like the intrinsic dev driver works for ya! if you end up troubleshooting again, maybe check that the iCloud email address matches the email you use in the C4 app when making the HomeKit connection? I ran into this issue recently.

Any release notes for the new version of the bridge driver (42)?

@South Africa C4 user Hrmm. very interesting! Can you check your vacation HomeKit home to see if there are additional HomeKit users that the home has been shared with? This just gave me another idea around creating dummy accounts to share the homes with. Will test something and share back.

I discovered the root of my own problems and its tied to Control4's home/account management and the way their driver "handshakes" with homes in Homekit. Here's a quick run-through for anyone troubleshooting this in the future: We have a city home and a vacation home: 2 homes in HomeKit, 2 homes in Control4 HomeKit setup is using my own personal iCloud account (1 email address: emailA), its the primary account to admin the homes in HomeKit. The homes are shared with multiple family members. The two homes in Control4 each require a unique email addresses. City home account was created with emailA, and for the vacation home account I created an email alias, emailB. When adding control4 to HomeKit at the vacation home, I received the dreaded "Unable to complete Apple TV integration" error and spent the last few weeks troubleshooting. And after some digging I've discovered the following: The email address registered to the home in Control4 has to match the email address used in HomeKit. In my situation our vacation home was using emailB, and HomeKit is managed using emailA. Control4 explained to my integrator that this was the issue and there is no way around this. I spent a few days thinking about ways that I could create some dummy accounts to get by this limitation. I could create a new appleID, emailC, and share my vacation home in HomeKit with emailC, then create a control4 account using emailC and add them to the house, and try to complete the HomeKit integration (can't guarantee that this would work, but I was willing to give it a try). I didn't get very far with this option as Apple only allows 1 phone number to be registered to an AppleID at a time and surprisingly we don't have another unused phone number. I started looking into dummy phone number services, but thought I was going down a real fragile rabbit hole creating dummy phone numbers for dummy email addresses. At the end I gave up on Control4's solution and installed the @IntrinsicGroup IP driver, but sadly it doesn't have the long press on the TV button to bring up tvOS Control Center and all 4 family members use their AppleTV accounts to track their watch history across all our AppleTV's. But at least there is a "long route" to switch users in the settings app, and that will have to do until we get long press support in the @IntrinsicGroup driver. Fingers crossed! A potential solution for the root problem would be if Control4 allowed a single email address to be associated to multiple homes. Then emailA would be registered for both houses and we wouldn't have the issue. That would be swell. Is there a feature request voting system somewhere? I'd smash that upvote button. So there ya have it. Happy to answer any questions, and hopefully this helps someone else out.

@CTMatthew did you ever get this sorted out? We’re having this issue at our vacation home.

Ooooof. Well that driver lasted a whole 30 seconds. It's the first thing every family member does when turning on the Apple TV. Back to the native IP Apple TV driver then.

actually do ANY long presses work? just tried to move some apps around on my Home Screen and long pressing the OK button doesn't work.

I dont see any ability to access the tvOS Control Center to switch users, which requires a long press of the TV/Home button, with the Intrinsic Dev Apple TV driver. Can anyone else confirm this?

Looking at adding a Panasonic ClimaPure XE Single Split AC unit to our house and I’m wondering if anyone has integrated this AC line? A quick search doesn’t really turn much up. I do see Chowmain makes a driver for the Intesis Gateway which adds wifi support to non-wifi, RF and IR AC units, but this particular Panasonic unit is fairly new and already includes wifi, so thinking that’s not needed?

@BubbaDuckI hear ya, our family would also love a better apple music integration, so +1 from us. fingers crossed that C4 is working on an update of some kind.

Can't confirm officially, but the news was leaked last week because of code snippets found in the Android app. So that bodes well for Android users.

With today's announcement of lossless and Dolby Atmos support, when Apple enables these features in June then Apple Music will have 100+ million hi-res lossless audio users overnight. Would be great to get this truly integrated.

Happy to help test out. Has anyone thought of building a reverse Homekit/Homebridge driver? Possible to bring IN homekit-only products into C4 through homebridge?

So doing some further testing last night, and discovered the Lutron switches on/off via C4 interface uses C4's defined ramp rates and preset levels, and not Lutron's. But I can't actually set any of these rates on 3rd party lights in C4? is that correct? I'm just stuck with what C4 has predefined?

and thank you for replying to an older post, thats greatly appreciated!

Ah okay. That explains a lot. Composer should hide elements of the UI that dont apply to products that dont support it. That seems silly. also, that behavior with sliders seems weird. My expectation is that C4 would wait until I've let go of the slider and then ramp to that dim level, not follow the slider.

Anyone else with RadioRa2 dimmers notice issues with the free C4 driver? Here's what I'm noticing: Can't change preset level, ramp up, or ramp down data in composer. When changing the default 100, 250, and 750 for those respective click rates and clicking set, refreshing the device properties shows the defaults again. The slide bar UI in OS3 doesn't use the ramp up or ramp down rates, and instead jumps instantly to the dimmer level set by the user in the slider This driver hasn't seen an update in a few years...

yea I can confirm @Jakelay's take on the situation. This seems totally dependent on the app developers implementation of tvOS's media player and is, unfortunately, not consistent across apps. I'd like to request that C4 add customizable hard buttons (select, back, and menu) on the Neeo so the appleTV driver can remap a long press of the menu button to open the switch user & airplay side panel, which would be much more intuitive than programming any digital/soft buttons.

@g8rfn2 I thought you would have been ecstatic to hear this news, especially after all the work you did in the Sonos forums. Still hoping C4 can integrate this into their driver, or perhaps a 3rd party dev wants to create a button, or driver, or something, to specifically add queue clearing capability.

I've got a RadioRa2 setup and programming in Essentials. Is that kind of programming you've referenced only available with Homeworks?

nothing. no commands available under any device variables.

Hey thanks for the input @Cyknight! Checked to see if there are commands available on that variable and I dont see any. Screenshots attached below. There are some conditionals I can check against the current level, but I can only "set" a level when programming on the parent device and not the variable itself. Could this be a shade driver limitation?

Playing around trying to get a shade to match the state of other shades in the house with the press of a keypad button. I can capture the desired shade level as a variable when the keypad is pressed, but I'm can't figure out how to set that variable as the shade target level on another shade. Using Lutron RadioRa2 shades and some keypads. Anyone successfully done this and can walk me through how to use the variable when programming?

Looks like this reddit thread dives into the issue, and it is indeed the same as PS4. A manual download of the save file needs to be completed on secondary consoles.

It looks like the PS5 uses an auto-sync feature, instead of the auto-upload feature the PS4 has, so it is different. And I don't see a console restriction on this support page. Will investigate further. https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/subscriptions/ps5-ps-plus-cloud-storage/
