    slim42dog reacted to alanchow in Anyone tried ratgdo for Garage Door?   
    Have done some major updates over the past few weeks for the ratgdo Control4 driver.
    New features include
    Ability to programatically move to a specific garage door position Discrete Open and Close commands for supported models (not all garage door models support open and close commands.  Some only do toggle). No Programming Automatic Push and Email Notifications (set through driver properties) for Garage Door Open Garage Door Close Garage Door Still Open (variable time defined in driver properties) Event on 'Garage Door Still Open'.  Can be used to fire off an audio announcement or other programming (use the properties for email and push notifications as this is quicker for notifications). The driver is pretty much feature complete now.  However if any of you have any suggestions please let me know.

    We have had a lot of interest in the ratgdo driver since we released it. For those who did not see my previous post abuot ratgdo it is a hardware based alternative to MyQ that allows provides local integration of Camberlain and Liftmaster garage motors. No cloud control, no subscriptions. Internet goes out and you will still be able to control your garage door.   The device is powered by USB. It requires 2-3 wires to connect up to your Chamberlain or Liftmaster garage motor and provides bi-directional control over motor control, built in light, irbeam/obstruction sensor feedback and motion sensor feedback.   As we have motor position feedback this means that you do not need to install reed switches to know the garage door position. The driver has implemented dual contact feedback. Out of the box it comes installed with the Garage Door (Sensor) driver but is also compatible with the 'Relay Garage Door Controller (OS 2.0+)' driver with dual contact closure bindings for fully open, partially open and closed feedback. Feedback is instantaneous due to the persistent connection Control4 has to the device so programming will happen as the motor reaches the exact positions.   The manufacturer has also provided an update to ratgdo. On top of Security + 2.0 integration they have now implemented Security + 1.0 support. As such you can now control motors manufactured 30 years ago with this!   From my understanding several of you did some pretty large orders. Due to the massive interest this caused the manufacturer to have a backlog. Those of you who ordered product when we announced the driver will have the orders shipped this week. This backlog from my discussions will be cleared by next week with orders being shipped within 24-48 hours of order receipt from then onwards. Backlogs should not happen after that as the manufacturer has increased production.

    slim42dog got a reaction from WhyPhy in Halo remote, Apple TV integration issue   
    Thanks for all the input and responses.  I was able to resolve the issue by going into the Apple Home App, and removing the IP Control Bridge.  This removed all the instances of the Control4 Remote in HomeKit.   Then I went into the C4 app on my iPhone, toggled the IP Control off, then back on and it went through the bridge setup again.   After adding the 8 remotes to the rooms the ATV's are, everything just worked again.   Definitely an activation issue.

    slim42dog got a reaction from BY96 in Halo Touch On Screen Custom Buttons   
    Just wanted to confirm to the group, my C4 Dealer was able to remap the circle (record) and square (stop) buttons on my halo touch today to a custom command just fine.

    slim42dog got a reaction from cnicholson in LG IP Control for 2022 OLED TVs   
    After switching over to Serial Control, the issue is gone.   Inputs switch 100% of the time upon cold boot of the TV.   The issue appears to be related to IP commands only when starting TV from Standby.

    Glad to see I'm not alone in the matter..   but I have LG looking into the issue right now.   They are doing a control4 test in the lab, though their doing on a 55G2.. not sure if its an 83 specific issue, similar to how the power on issue with the defective power board was limited to just the 83 series and 97 series.  
    I'm going to try switching over to serial before I go an spend money on the annex4 driver.   I'll let you know how that works out.  I have my dealer coming out next friday to do this.

    slim42dog reacted to ejn1 in Unifi vs Araknis with Control4   
    Well said above..  A couple of additional considerations....
    - Performance / Cost ratio may be higher with the Unifi setup and future upgrades
    - Unifi GUI likely offers more network transparency, ease of management and control for the end user
    - and many users, including myself, use it with C4 systems with no issues.  For someone already with a Unifi setup, it seems logical to stay put and just find a C4 dealer that is comfortable in working in that network environment which there are many.
