Thank you, and agreed on the bindings. I get them all bound eventually, just usually takes a few days (or weeks) of living with it to decide what we want where before I bug my dealer to lock it in. 

I actually started down the press and release path as a test and quickly realized it wasn't a great idea lol.

Thank you. I double checked this, and it's set correctly. I'll have my dealer look at it. 

Thanks. Good to know.

I have a 2 part question.  And I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, so I apologize.

1:  On a keypad dimmer, how do you get a connected lod button (toggle load) to utilize hold to ramp / fade?  I'm assuming I can't do it because I'm toggling the load.  Click once, on, Click again, off.  Hold - does nothing.  Which seems obvious but kind of weird at the same time since the UI lets me dim the connected load with no programming.

Which leads to my second question:

2: How do you program against ALS to allow ramp / fade?  Without a binding?

Most (I think all) of my keypads are on bindings for lighting scenes, but I have a bad habit of playing around once I install a new keypad until I decide how I want everything to work (before bindings). 

Thank y'all

that may be the case with the older Pandora driver but I believe that's fixed in the new Pandora driver.

My apologies, you are 100% correct. I didn't even realize that was fixed with the new driver!

FWIW - the number of stations that populate through the OLD Pandora c4 driver is limited. I don't know the exact number, I think it's around 50. If you have more than that, try removing one from "your collection" and another will pop in. 

Edit - this is only the case with the old driver.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a Bluesound POWERNODE 2 driver for c4. It's unavailable everywhere. Can anyone help me find the driver and explain why it's not available?

Does the general bluesound driver package not work?

https://www.bluesound.com/downloads/

Just offering this perspective from the customer-side...

Unless it's something you know well, can easily re-create (and scale).. please don't do it in a showroom.

Awesome, works perfectly as long as i favorite to the room from the playlist.

Any chance you also have an easy way to select Airplay for/through the bluesound from Control4?

thanks

Glad to hear.

Sorry, I don't use airplay. 

If you have the "my playlists" bluesound driver loaded, you can favorite from that and they play. 

I'm unable to get the favorites to work if I browse the player, services, and favorite the playlist. I think it's a bug in the bluesound driver.

In my case (nad ci-580 with 4 bluesound players) I prefer it this way as the my playlists driver handles the source pooling for the 4 players.

You need a dealer to add the new TV to your system.

Mine works remote in HE. I added the MAC address of my controller, and my 4sight username. It's just slow. 

I have weird issues with the light sensors on a few of my keypad dimmers in the same room (to be honest, I suspect this issue exists on a few others in my space as well).

My dealer was able to "group" them together to use the light sensor of a non load keypad that functions correctly. So far that has been the only thing that has solved the issue. 

You bought your spare parts from somewhere. Use that. Or ask the previous dealer for the invoice.

Generac guardian 20kw whole home. Clean power. When it is running is seems cleaner than coned wrt drop outs. 

Guardian is not an inverter generator.

Not knocking it, I have one as well, but I can assure you the power isn't "clean". What's behind it protecting those keypads?

Backup gen is clean. Modern Generagen and no other electronics are impacted. 

I'm assuming that means generac gen (?)

Unless you have an inverter on it (or after it), I assure you the power is not "clean".

Any idea why there is the slide to the right which then shows and up and down arrow?  Not sure what exactly the function here is supposed to actually be

I believe it's the press and hold ramp rates of the ALS (similar to press and hold on a keypad).

At least that's how it seems to work on mine when the arrows show up. 

Awesome, thank you both!

In Composer Pro you can setup one of the buttons to directly control the load that's wired to the KD, only that button so set will function without an online controller.

Awesome, thank you, I'll ask my dealer to do this. Just to clarify, if it's not setup that way in Composer Pro, the keypad dimmers, would just cease to function (even with a button set to toggle load in HE)?

Thank you!

How do keypad dimmers behave when the controller is down or if they somehow drop off ZB? 

Do they just revert to all buttons controlling the load, like when you install a new keypad before you ID it in?

I feel silly for even asking, but am trying to determine if I need to keep a button assigned to the load for CYA on a few that are "critical". 

Happy Monday, and thank y'all!

Do you have an audio endpoint binding for that room?

Is there a way to display minidrivers such as Amazon Music on the listen navigator instead of or in addition to the Watch navigator? 

If you have Composer HE, you should be able to go to the rooms you want them to appear and unhide them from the listen menu. Then refresh navigators.

I assume he means “controller” unit. But I could be wrong.

(Forget I even said that… if he has no dealer who would have replaced a controller unless an eBay unit (which would explain a lot).

Consumer unit is similar to a breaker panel. Power distribution in the home.

I am not being negative, just trying to figure out the economic implications.  It could increase revenue in the short run, but decrease it in the long run as if there are issues people will only have to replace a matrix switch or amp, not both.

I'll admit I'm not understanding the argument.

Quality separates are always going to be more expensive (matrix and separate amplifiers vs matrixed amp, prepro or preamp and separate amplifier vs receiver or integrated, etc).

Matrix vs matrix amp is not solely a financial decision for everyone. I don't run receivers or matrix amps. The financial differences aren't a decision point in my determination to run separates. I just prefer separates.

SNPO offers both (separate matrix and amps, or matrixed amp).

No one is forcing you into a matrix (or a matrix amp). Choose what works best for your project and budget. Plenty of options.
