When I’m out and I try to hit the button to answer the call, control4 app never loads up. id like to be able to view playback easier. basically the only thing that chime works fine for is to get an image whenever someone trips the motion. We should have great internet speed (it’s on POE) and get 800 megabyte speed

I have the chime but really unhappy with it. I thought I read that Alexa can work with control4 where control4 will use the motion detector but you won’t be able to view the video feed in control4. does nest also work similar where control4 can get triggered from the motion sensor? every time I try to use my chime when someone rings the doorbell, it always freezes up on me

I'm not sure what happened, but after my Hub got disconnected, my blind program was no longer working and I started to tinker around. I am using a keypad button where it basically toggles the blinds to go from Open to Favorite Location. What I am doing is creating a variable, where when the blind starts opening, the variable is set to True, and then when the blind is closing, the variable is set to false (See the images below). When I execute the action to open the blinds, the variable isn't changing under Agents. Is there another way someone would suggest to create a "Toggle" for blinds? Since I may use the powerview remote control or someone might use the powerview app, I was hoping that the variable could be used so I can get True feedback.

I have 3 yale assure locks that I am getting rid of. 1 is brand new - yrd226-cba-0BP, it is aged bronze color the other two have only been on my house for about 4 weeks before I replaced with Schlage YRD226-NR-0BP - aged bronze YRD226-NR-619 - nickel I have a spare aged bronze deadbolt part for the lock and nickel inside part that includes the control panel please contact me if interested

Wonder why others are saying they have it pretty instant.

Even when your out on cell signal (assuming strong connection), was connection pretty instant? When I load control4 via cell signal, it loads quickly but the intercom takes longer to load

I’m pretty sure mine is powered through PoE. I’ll double check with my installer.

I previously had a nest doorbell camera but it wasn’t working great as people couldn’t hear me. When I upgraded into control4 for my house, i was talked into getting the chime. I like how I can see the camera and use the motion sensor to turn on my porch and outside flood lights. I hate it for the sole purpose it was created in that it’s hard to access to history and pretty worthless when trying to answer a call when someone rings it. im considering to rip it out and sell it on eBay and then just installing a new ring or best camera. I saw there is a driver so I can use the motion sensor which is important to me. my installer told me that ring and nest still have that problem in that there is a long delay when someone rings the doorbell. Right now, it takes 30 seconds to 2 min for the control4 screen +’intercom to load up before I can see who is there or talk. Is there a long delay with ring/nest? I don’t think there is a way to incorporate the ring camera live view into control4 but I’m okay with that. The history is so much easier to view. I have other cameras set up through hikvision and can view them on control4. Is there a way to bring the ring camera into hikvision and then view it that way?

I’m not sure my exact set up , but whenever I restart my Fire Stick, the sr260 takes a long time (4-5 min) before I can use it again. I will see a screen that says fire tv does not have a remote control connected. After a few minutes, the warning goes away and I can use the remote control. is this typical or is there something I can do to stop this?

Awesome, thank you! It looks like button Prev on SR260 is "recall" in the commands. I appreciate it, it worked

I am trying to program my SR260 remote control so when you hit the Previous Button, it would take you to the previous screen similar to a back button. Currently, I have to hit the Cancel button to you back. I have been looking all around in Home Composer, and can't figure it out. I've tried the following: - In Monitoring: I set the properties in Fire TV Apps to: Cancel Button = Back , POUND Button = Back - In Programming: I could only program off the Room Driver as the SR260 doesn't have any options for what happens when you hit any button. I made it say "When command "Back" is received, send Command "cancel" to Family Room , also send Command "back" to Family Room , also Enter "#" on the Family Room>Fire TV None of these are working. I was hoping that when I hit the previous button, it would then send the cancel command which means it should go back. Does the Prev Button (on SR260) not mean "back" when you go to room control and click on Commands? I don't see an option for "Prev" in the drop down menu, so I am assuming it is "back" in the drop down. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I was not aware that existed. Thanks! I will take a look to see if I can get it and if it can be used on the yale assure locks

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, c4 never made this property for the yale lock to be shown under device variable.

I am looking to create custom programming for a Yale Lock of mine. I see in the Control4 App, there is the ability to enable/disable 1 Touch Locking. I see this same attribute when I go to the Monitoring which is shown in the picture below. If I go into the programming area, I do not see any options for the lock or through the variables for the 1 touch locking. The only place it is present (that I am aware of) is through the monitoring tab under the properties. I'd like to create programming that would be like this: If door is open (Front Door Contact), Disable one touch Locking. If door is closed (Front Door Contact), Enable one touch locking. The simple idea is that when I have the door open, I by accident hit the keypad on the yale lock which automatically extends the deadbolt. I don't realize this happening, and then I close the door with the deadbolt extended which then hits the door frame and is leaving a mark. I don't like having the door automatically lock which I know would solve this issue, but having it lock after 30 seconds or so wouldn't work for us. Is anyone aware of a way to create programming like i described above? I assume that if the programming tab doesn't show these options for the lock, then there isn't a way to somehow to link to the property options that are seen in the monitoring tab

Does the auto lock driver enable you to have control over the 1 touch locking? An idea of mine is to program that if the door is open, then 1 touch locking is disabled. And if the door is closed, then one touch locking is enabled. I looked in control4 , but I’m unable to select the 1 touch locking through the programming side. I can only edit it through the properties section under monitoring

Thank you. But I’m not looking for the door to lock itself. We rarely lock our garage and we usually leave our front door unlocked during the day while we are home. I am not looking to change that but rather stop the lock from slamming shut. I’ll look into the auto lock driver

I have yale locks installed and hate that it can lock when the door is open. We often hit the keypad by accident when the door is open which extends the deadbolt. We then close the door without realizing and boom, it hits the door frame. I was told from Yale I can disable one touch locking which means you must enter the code in to lock the door which is horrible. I see on control4 lock management, you can enable/disable one touch lock. When I tried to click it, I got an error saying it failed to save. im not sure why the lock management in control4 can’t save it but are others having that problem? my idea is that I can tell yale lock to disable one touch locking if the door is open (through door contacts) and once door is closed, one touch is enabled. So the only way to lock the door if it is open is to enter the code. I don’t know if this would work in practice or if the enable /disable one touch takes a long time to work

I thought of “work around” which is I set up a routine through Alexa so that every night at 1130, the fan light is turned off. This way, I “reset” the light so it is actually off and not just showing as off (in control4). The issue previously was that when I hit house off, the fan light would show as off on control4 but was actually on. To sync everything back up, I had to manually turn off the light using bond app or the remote control. this work around has me thinking of what else can I do to help ensure it is working and could I use Alexa as my two way feedback. is there a way I can set a routine so that if the Fan light (in Alexa) turns On, then it triggers something (a variable maybe?) in control4. This would get me a potential two way communication

@msgreenf bringing up this topic again. I have my bond bridge installed on my fan with the original fan module installed. It only gives me 1 way feedback so if I hit the fan from another method (remote or bond app), control4 will get out of sync on it. It hasn’t been a problem since I don’t use either but for some reason the fan light will turn on out of sync at random times. If it wasn’t for the fan light , the programming I did works great. The fan/reverse function work well. are there any new fan modules out there that work 2 way that have a fan reverse? Having the fan reverse is a very important to me. The other potential way is to just have something hooked up for the light so that is controlled separately

I had another issue with my control4 and reset the system. It looks like the cameras are working now when on cell signal

Yes, my eero says upload is 93

It’s 93mbps

It is C4-VDB-E (POE) . I am using 3.3.0 and the latest version of the app (322.25.0) . I noticed that when I am in Wifi (Any wifi, it doesn't need to be my house), the cameras load up very fast. When I am using cell signal (4 Bars, 5G), the cameras won't load up. but control4 will load up relatively fast. I think this issue of the cameras not being displayed is just a problem when it's not on Wifi. I can go to my HikConnect app and see my cameras which load up fine with no issue on cell signal.

Any suggestions on the control4 doorbell to help speed it up? Whenever someone hits the button, I get notified very quickly but when I hit the button to answer, it takes 2-3 minutes to load up it seems. This is pretty unacceptable and makes it useless as a video doorbell to talk to someone. not sure what I can check to see how to speed it up or if others have suggestions. Even though I just bought it, might scrap it and go back to a ring and buy a motion sensor instead because I’ll need it to work.
