Thanks y'all!

Hello! Has anyone integrated a Mitsubishi air conditioning system before? It uses a GB-50ADA-A centralized controller, and has several PAC-YT51CRB thermostats. I couldn't find much info on if there was a driver readily available or if we'll need some third party option to get it to work, and was hoping someone here might have done this before. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Our 'solution' to wake on LAN was to switch the TVs to serial control. They work extremely well this way, but very frustrating that the WOL does not function properly with the C4 driver.

Does anyone have any tips or tricks to make WOL quicker? Its painfully slow to turn on a 43” Samsung Frame Tv, talking minutes.  App switcher, art mode is faultless when its powered on. I its hardwired not via Wifi, Correct Lan Mac address, it ran via a Unifi Dream Machine didnt know if there was any settings in the Router. 

Thanks 

Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm having a similar issue with a Frame TV where, once the client turns the TV completely off for the night, it doesn't wake back up using the Control4 remote.

I'm having the same problem with a 65" Frame TV. We have a few other Frame TVs that seem to work properly, but this one if you turn it completely off (which they do at night) then it doesn't respond to the on command the next morning.

We have some intercoms that we have integrated the cameras into our Hikvision NVR. How can I get those cameras (which aren't physically connected to the NVR) to show on the Control4 UI? Anyone tried this before?

I'm using the Driver Central Hikvision driver but can't seem to figure out the right configuration for the cameras we added in.

Is it possible to, for example, click an experience button and have the navigator switch to that room's control source?

I have a room with 8 TVs and a projector that I'm trying to program individual control for each TV. The easiest thing for the client would be to have an experience button that, when you press it, switches the navigator to the video source in the "room" with the TV listed on the experience button. For example, pressing TV 1 would take them to TV 1's DirecTV control pad.

Is something like this possible to do?

Finally got it working. The two things that messed me up were the passwords having special characters and ... I forgot to make the connection in Composer. D'oh. All good and working now.

Are you using a Hikvision NVR with these cameras ?  If so, which one ?

I am, it's the DS-7716NI-I4/16P.

Did you read the documentation.  I believe you need to change the authentication type (Digest/Basic) on the camera.  Did you do that?

Yep! Finally figured out part of the issue - it doesn't pass special characters in the password properly so I had to change the password on the NVR to not contain special characters.

However I'm still having issues. I'm getting the following error messages:

Which is weird because at one point I did get all the test URLs to work, though they're not working now (it gives a 403 error saying the URL isn't validated - except for the H.264 URL which passes the test).

Thank you for the link - I'm trying to get this driver to work, but it's a no go so far. I'm getting either "CHECK YOUR PORT NUMBERS" or "CHECK YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD" errors, despite those parameters being correct.

I'm working on a project that uses Colorvu cameras from Hikvision, however the general Hikvision IPC driver does not work to integrate it into Control4. What driver do you use to integrate it? I reached out to Hikvision but they said they don't have a driver for this camera.
