  1. Jaycar sell some Digitech convertors cheap, have used them several times and always seem to do the job?
  2. I agree these always seem to be dropping offline/network. After a few updates they seem to come good - however the client seem not impressed - have separate 2.4G and 5G networks aswell
  3. Hey Guys I'm doing control 4 at a job and trying to integrate blinds/curtains into the system There is a TBS smart hub for the blinds and the supplied insists there is a driver embedded into the hub to extract the driver and details in. I've learnt the blinds into the hub via the app - they all work. For the life of me i cannot see where the driver is? and cannot see anywhere online to download the drivers I've tried a bond bridge and cannot see support for this particular brand. Any ideas?
  4. There is 6 windows in total ill have to group them to work with what i have got 5 in the hallway and 1 in ensuite so probably 6 relays in total Anyone know if i need the pin terminal block as per diagram?
  5. Hey Guys I have a job where i need to control some high windows that have some 240 windows with 4 wires Green , Brown, Blue, Black The supplier isn't any help As far as i know it needs : Active black -Open Active red - Close Neutral blue - Stop Green/yellow - Earth The electrical has wired twin ands earth and an sdi to a central loction How would i wire this up? or an i better off with another control option? There is no physical control method at present.
  6. Finally Interesting to see how it all works - Using Paradox Evo192 for most jobs these days Some clients prefer bosch - i have a 3000 at home and it works for what i need it for.
  7. I wouldn't usually wire out of a lan out on WAP for main uplink to other switches Rule of thumb - run one out of the router into the first switch and then out of that to the second, It can work a few different ways i guess depending on setup.
  8. Hey Guys Have a client with an astral pools controller and recently installed control 4 There is a module installed with goes to a "connect my pool " app. There is an option to send request to the company for API for automation Doesn't anyone know or have had dealing with this product before? Obviously works from phone app, can't seem to find driver for it
  9. Tried all of the above it won't read the remotes - We have left them off for now.
  10. Is a way for the cameras to stream better through control 4? I'm finding the cameras don't load straight way or its hit and miss and what how many load up, clients get annoyed the camera app loads them quicker then the control 4 app? I have a job where there is 8 cameras in total, 1 camera is on network as its in a different building using a wireless bridge link, the other 7 are into the NVR direct, previously the old NVR had no direct POE ports and all camera were into a POE switche direct and loaded quicker?
  11. Telstra Modem and jaycar switch with multiple 5 Port switches around the place
  12. All sorted the drivers and all the bindings worked first go, programmed then off site and tested other day = perfect can adjust the levels as required also which means client and boss both happy.
  13. love the A and U...ive used A and dont rate tho for the on going head ache - Used U before many a time without much hassle or ongoing updates. The P was much the same was at a site other day and 3-4 years old and all the WAP and Router needed updating.
  14. Hi Alan Installed a bond bridge last week to learn in external louves, they all working off somfy driver, The OG remote has a MY setting with preset - however on control 4 there is no MY option, on bond bridge there is the MY option though. what are my options?
  15. Hi guys Doing a job and have a bond bridge just installed - have put somfy blinds on no problems and they work on control 4. Have 2 external blinds with a stand alone remote - the brand is Becker on remote - tried to learn into the bond bridge under "other" would not find the signals thru the bridge. There is also external roof louvre's that work on remote also on teleco automation remote which doesn't work for the bond bridge. Does anyone know what driver/interface i need to use to make these work on control 4? even a 3rd party interface? attached some photos of what remote i have.
  16. Thanks for your help i can now see the lighting units , have to go back next week to start the blind programming and see if i can try the somfy ilt blind driver.
  17. Thanks i am indeed running the omni driver and its working via IP. however i cant see the fields to control the blinds, again the firmware i can't see where to check this, have pc access software on my pc and can log in to see all the details of the blinds etc. The blinds are hard wired thru rj11/12 connectors on a rs485/rs232 bus, i don't know much on leviton panel as i havn't had much exposure to it. i have attached a few screen shot of the blind details in pc access
  18. Hi Leviton panel with blinds attached to lighting units, somfy ILT blinds. is there a way to control thru leviton via control 4 direct? having trouble with leviton panel reading the data on control 4.
  19. Might have to make a custom driver on this one, I have had some issue with TCL another cheap option of TV. I find to stick to main stream brands of TV as i find they just work - in saying that though can't expect the customer to go out and buy new TV as the same time...
  20. Hey guys Doing a control 4 job at the moment that has leviton installed with rs232 control from leviton to cbus module then cbus module to control 4 controller via rs323 serial cable. The blinds are currently controlled by cbus dummy addresses using the rs232 control to leviton panel. there is a rj12 bus system that blinds are connected to around the house. I've got the leviton driver installed however its limited and doesn't show output relay for all the blinds. there is some blinds of the actually board itself but there rest are linked to a bus around several access panels around the house - do i need a link bridge of some description? bond bridge? they are setup as somfy ILT blinds in most cases through the lighting units in leviton software - as leviton is no longer i can't get any support on the product. I've tried to program cbus commands in control 4 to operate the blinds to which doesn't work - or the system crashes and required a reset - the commands just flash on and off , What options have a got to use rs485 blinds and levition? there is around 20-30 blinds around house , can't run new cables as it's double story house with foam sealed roof cos its right on the water.
  21. Still using the normal ends - never have an issue and can do them in under a minute, i use a small flat blade to pull the wire straight from where i want the twist to stop. EZ push thru ones don't interest me at all - its another tool i don't need to buy.
  22. This guy using at your place or elsewhere?
