Assuming you have a security panel tied to c4, why not an outdoor sensor tied into your panel?

Re: 3.3.3 - Its out. Released April sometime I believe. And IFTTT is not consistently (read: almost neverly) instant. At least for me. Ymmv. I've had success with voicemonkey and the chowmain tcp driver. I use it to trigger Alexa skill-only devices, and I use it for some alerts. (minus the early on startup-type outages).

Yes, I do this today with the Chowmain experience buttons suite. https://drivercentral.io/platforms/control4-drivers/utility/experience-buttons-suite-for-control4-chowmain/

I have it, PM me.

LOL, it's only like $10 for an ad free subscription.

I'm sure your clients must love it when those integrations randomly break.

This for me as well. I am another outcast that actually really likes my Neeos. I don't have the "waiting for network" issues, when I pick one up, it's ready to go. My only issue has been the lag switching between rooms (2-3 seconds while it sits on the "refreshing settings" screen). My guess would be memory on the device. I wish they would show all of the proxies that our phones and tablets show (pool, security panel, etc.).

Have you considered adding some ferrite toroid chokes? I've had positive results around sensitive LV and Amateur Radio gear and lightning strikes (not to mention rf interference prevention). I understand it's a testy subject especially around lightning protection, just throwing it out as an option.

As someone who doesn't use announcements, what is the proper way?

I think you just SMB to your controller and they are in: /mnt/mediashare/announcements

Maybe this? https://drivercentral.io/platforms/control4-drivers/velux-klf200/

I'd give it a shot (check the release notes first). You should be able to update it from HE (I have to do this with a NAD bluesound device when I update firmware as well).

Did you check the Arcam site to make sure you're on the latest driver? Sometimes new firmware needs a driver update.

I agree on hardwire being optimal, was just sharing another option.

Do you have dsp turned on for the controller? Are you showing the room eq in the navigator for that room?

I'm on Jandy iaqualink 2.0. everything in my Jandy app shows up in c4. Control is instant. My wife likes not having to use the jandy app. Jandy overall has made lots of improvements to the app (and Alexa skill) in the last 24 months. We use Alexa (the iaqualink skill) most of the time. I try to use native skills for the rare ones that are actually good. One thing I dislike is that the toggle buttons in c4 don't seem to correctly reflect state consistently (but they do always work). I do get some LUA errors on the Jandy driver so I would assume it's due for an update but not sure when that will happen - it's pretty old. One touch (a Jandy feature) has never worked for me in c4 which is kind of a bummer as we have a few things programmed into one touch but overall I'm happy with the integration. I cannot speak for Pentair. We looked at intellicenter when we were on Elan only because iaqualink was so dated before the updates. After all of the updates and modernization of the app (and API's) I haven't taken another look. Overall, integrated or not, I would highly recommend some form of pool automation or "smart" control. I honestly would hate my pool and spa without it.

I mean it's possible I'm completely wrong, I haven't owned Onkyo for years. I just ran into issues converting HDMI in to zone 2 analog out time after time.

In my experience, this is pretty typical with Onkyo & Integra. I'm assuming your feeding an HDMI in to zone2. If that's the case, I believe even the HDMI in has to be set to 2 channel pcm or it won't pass.

Sorry. all I read was "blah blah blah Harbeths".

This is how I used to do it on my old Elan system with Sonos connects because there was no way to do source pooling on Elan (at least not that we could figure out). Worked surprisingly well with 4 of us in the house.

Correct. One node per stream. Or something like the NAD ci-580v2 which is 4 sources (like 4 nodes) in a 1u chassis (which is what I use for Bluesound). Be aware that there is no Pandora on bluesound and Spotify is still just connect (not native like on Autonomics MMS). You would need to use the c4 audio stream for Pandora.

Don't you have 4 serial ports on an ea5? 2 db9, 2 shared with IR out 1 and 2?

I really like the new menu layout on my phone (not a huge fan of the graphics, but the color status is cool). Would be nice if there was an option to set my tablets to use the old menu layout.
