I’m not 100% certain but I believe there’s some ability to remember and revert room state using Room Control driver. I haven’t tried it yet but that would be a good place to start probably.

You mention Josh scenes and Josh announcements, but if I understand correctly, the mentioned driver doesn't involved Josh at all? Also, the driver requires internet access to execute the announcements each time, right? Usually that should be fine but it would be great to have the peace of mind that announcements would execute regardless of internet or cloud services. One idea I had, but I haven't tried yet, is to make a recording of Josh saying something, then upload that to C4 as an announcement. This *might* work because you can tell Josh, "Say 'Here is some text'" and Josh will happily repeat that for you.

Interesting. I haven't used audio announcements yet but will keep an ear out for that problem. Not to get too far off topic, but where do you source your audio files for announcements? Do you record something? One thing I'd love to be able to do is have Josh make a verbal announcement but I don't think it's possible.

Josh support added a delay in my Josh Core server. They said the issue is Josh tells the matrix to switch inputs and then changes the volume faster than the matrix can switch the input. This moment when the volume is changed but input is still on music causes a potentially loud blip of music. In quick testing, it does seem to address the problem. I'll test more today as we listen to music and use Josh. Currently, this setting can only be changed by Josh support. I asked how the delay they set compares to the audio out response delay setting found in the app. They responded: > Josh Wakes->Tells matrix to switch inputs->Back end delay I (Josh Support) added->Set the volume to the response volume->Portal (app) delay->Start responding Hope this helps others who encounter this problem.

Josh Core with Josh Nanos/Micros. Audio output from Josh Core to Triad matrix. Integrated with C4 Core 5. Someone in Discord suggests it was a known issue and should have been resolved. Maybe there’s some additional config required. I am reaching out to Josh support.

We've noticed a weird issue where if we're playing music in a room, and ask Josh a question, before he responds there's a temporary burst of full volume music. It's really annoying and I'd love to get to the bottom of it. Has anyone ever had this problem? We have a Triad 8x8 audio matrix. Here's a video. Nevermind the dirty ceiling - needs cleaned after some trim work. IMG_1529.MOV

My understanding is Composer HE remote connection has been broken far longer than 3.4.0. Someone commented here that it's a cloud service issue not Composer.

Even if it’s a network issue, I would think Halo could be graceful. Reconnect and start working again eventually. It’s odd that a brief network failure is fatal. While certainly possible, it would also be extremely coincidental that I started having issues the day or two after 1.7 installed.

Just got this photo of the network error but look at the signal indicator. Full bars. UniFi currently shows it’s connected with excellent signal and no recent disconnects So strange. Totally anecdotal but it seems like at/below 50% battery is when these errors start

Here is a log snippet from my device when it disconnected this morning. It seems somewhat unremarkable - just says the network became unavailable. I can see in UniFi where it disconnected at that time, but I don't see a similar blip on devices connected to the same AP. RSSI at disconnect was -59 dBm which should be acceptable. What seems a bit more surprising for me is that a network issue is unrecoverable without a restart. Is it expected that there's no way to attempt reconnecting to restore it to working order? 2024-03-20 06:47:36.988 -0500 halo-touch-7bc072 [603] DEBUG: Battery level request 2024-03-20 06:47:37.071 -0500 halo-touch-7bc072 [603] DEBUG: [Battery] recieved level 48 2024-03-20 06:47:47.617 -0500 halo-touch-7bc072 [603] ERROR: HttpHandler_BrokerRequest -

There’s ongoing discussion about WiFi and other issues after update in the 1.7 thread. I think that’s the best place to continue discussion because people there have filed a bug report.

Same. I’ve had lots of network connection issues with both my Halo Touches since the update. Even tried factory reset. I had started a new thread about it at the beginning of March but just now saw this discussion. I’m glad to know it’s not just me.

I did a factory reset on one Halo Touch and thought it fixed it. For a week or two I didn’t have any disconnects. Alas this morning it happened again. Once this message appears is there any way to attempt reconnect without a restart? I can’t figure it out but it feels odd. This message completely freezes the remote. Why wouldn’t there be a way to attempt reconnect?

Is this change something I can do via Composer Home? Looking at properties I see the network control mode and Mac address fields. I don't see a way to change to IP address. Do I need to repair, or do I need my dealer to do this?

When you all say it’s unresponsive in the morning do you mean selecting watch will turn the screen on to art mode but won’t change inputs? That’s the behavior I see each morning, too. Interestingly if I get art mode to appear, then turn off the room and wait 15 seconds, and then select something else on watch it seems to change inputs and be fine. This is the only trouble I have with frame TV control.
