  1. Thanks Ari. I didn't even think of using the tcp driver. I'll have to give it a shot. Right now I'm doing it with Josh scenes watching some dummy switches but it's quickly becoming unmanageable.
  2. Correct, this driver doesn't require Josh at all. It does require Internet access. There are text to speech sites you can download wav files from to use for announcements if You're concerned about Internet access.
  3. Next best thing to creating josh scenes to trigger josh announcements: https://drivercentral.io/platforms/control4-drivers/text-to-speech-driver/ Absolutely love this driver and love not having to upload canned announcements. One thing to note if you go down this path - Google has multiple voices to choose. The standard voices are free but you will eventually pay usage on the "studio" voices. I hope that Josh adds a native feature to push announcements from c4 in the future.
  4. Anyone else having issues with push notifications this morning?
  5. Pretty sure I read somewhere that essential switches only have a blue led (no other colors).
  6. I'm not an apple guy so I can't speak to what you can trigger. But I do this from numerous devices inbound to c4 using the generic tcp driver from chowmain..
  7. @avtexan did something similar using the magic buttons driver.
  8. We use them mostly on washers and dryers and Kohler digital showers. This is one of the only 2 nits I have with the driver - the first being voice announcements 4 hours later after a reboot, and the second being no decimal ability for power monitoring (4 or 5, not 4.2 - whole numbers only). Other than that, the power monitoring is awesome.
  9. Same thing happens to me after a reboot with Kasa plugs setup for power monitoring.
  10. I'll second the rgbw2 with the chowmain agent. I have 6 of them in my project setup in 4 channel mode for white strips. They've been rock solid.
  11. You could put a Shelly on each of the loads (or behind the switches if there's enough room).
  12. Chowmain Shelly driver (agent). It's excellent. Use something like the shelly plus2 pm (it has cover control).
  13. True on a standalone amp, not true on a matrix amp. Something has to tell the ins to connect to specific outs.
  14. The ears can be removed if you want, the Ethernet ports are fault tolerant only.
  15. I believe you can use that timer button with no timers set and "first click is on" to get on / off. There are programming items for on/off as well.
  16. A couple folks here use it with the same iq2, iq4 driver. @C4 User
  17. I'm assuming you're talking about Josh, which I believe does ducking if you use the core. Dumb question, but can you have Josh play custom announcements based on events or actions in control4? I tested Josh a while ago (just a micro without a Core before they added all the new features) but have always wondered about this for announcements.
  18. You can manage this from the app on your phone. Hamburger icon top left, then settings wheel bottom left. Go to preferences, un-toggle "enable intercom".
  19. Thanks. I just assumed it was normal. I'll ask my dealer to look at it when things slow down.
  20. No joy. The un-pause still takes the Roku to whatever mini app is displayed after the announcement completes. I suspect it's something with the sources switching, which leads me back to the original problem.
  21. I'll play with my programming on the pause then, maybe I'll send the pause to the device directly vs pausing the room. Pause to the room definitely switches me to whatever mini app is showing in watch (even if it's not what I'm watching). That being said, do you know of a way to force the context to change based on what app the Roku sees me in?
