Why hardwire?

@alanchow If you are persisting a ws from the devices for your driver a custom event from the device would be sent over the websocket due to the way this works on a Shelly. Shelly delivers an emitted event to all active persistent RPC channels. Even if I create my own it would still go to yours or the one(s) you create for the driver. I guess since I'm asking and discovering how this works I'm also pointing out that you may need to handle unknown events on sockets. Your TCP driver would be a webhook vs a persistent websocket, correct?

Ok, cool. What do you think about supporting custom events for a device? If a person did a Shelly.emitEvent() and it showed up on your websocket how would/could be it be handled? I'm probably in a very small group of people wanting this kind of thing, but it could potentially be useful to have some ability to handle a custom event.

@Andrew luecke Does this driver currently take advantage of Shelly webhooks? Or can it support webhooks for Shelly devices by providing endpoint(s) on the controller? I'm looking at the Shelly scripting capability and am exploring options for custom events and simple basic support for low(er) latency responses. I want to buy it and not build it so I am hopeful. I'm working with Plus Uni's.

University professors are highly skilled at researching, synthesizing and presenting data. One thing that can get you fired from a university is plagiarism. Professors work very hard to appear to be the bearers of all knowledge in their students eyes. A lifetime of doing this does change your personality and when the job ends the vasana persists. This can leave one with a fragile psyche. It's not unlike a an AI LLM. An AI model seeks to encompass all things, but it's not human and has no soul. LLM's are desperate to answer questions and as a result can actually hallucinate or make up answers. AI models act a lot like professors in that they don't have any real life experience, but everyone looks to them for knowledge. AI models often do not cite the source of their knowledge and that's what makes them different from humans. Humans can chose to be ethical and honest and are often rewarded directly or indirectly by doing so. If all we have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

I think the Govee is the most believable if you can accept the camera presence.

Doing this kind of thing can lead to confusion for future readers. It's always best to leave the content unless its a broken link etc.

If you want 2N the 2N Control4 driver probably works with the keypad. You would want to work with your Control4 integrator. Doesn't really sound like you have one. That 2N keypad also supports simply controlling it with a relay using the REX inputs (like most all controllers). With an electric lock that's the push to open button connection. If you have been in an office where they have electric locks you may have seen the button on the wall that you have to push to unlock the door to leave. That simply closes the contacts on the controller to open the lock. Using that with a relay and C4 would allow you to unlock the door using programming or the app etc. It just depends on what the client wants from an aesthetic and functionality perspective and is willing to pay for really. Does the main house have Control4?

Perhaps the AVR display is wrong? You can turn one or the other off and call it a day I guess.

Is this a sort of bugs you that it's one number different than the face of the AVR or are you seeing a real issue? I actually can't see my AVR's in the rack when I'm using the remote. I wouldn't care if it were 1 off because I only care if the volume sounds right for the content. It's nice to have the volume bar on the remote, otherwise if the sound isn't coming out of the speakers I might not know what the problem is...

This from the manual

I have not tried this one, but the features and potential are interesting. https://drivercentral.io/platforms/control4-drivers/lighting/aircoookie-wled-project/

I'm not sure it exposes that. Most any stand alone keypad can be controlled by a relay. Control4 has many relay options as noted.

The release note on the driver show that that should have been addressed a couple of revisions back. I've had the issue two days in a row now. I turned debug on to see if i can capture anything.

If you went that way and want to integrate you could do it with the REX line and relay either on the controller or something else like a z2io/shelly etc. We assume you are running power to the door in some way.

I like mullion mounts. This is stand alone. You could mount it on the door. Since it's glass I'm not sure security is really the concern. https://linear-solutions.com/product/12-mullion-satin-standalone/

Does this house have any other doors with access control? Or is this the ONLY location in the house where you want some kind of keypad control. What's your role on this addition?

Your electrician may want to use the UL versions of Shelly and may want to calculate box space. If they aren't fussy about UL you can save a little box space by using a 2PM and a Mini for a total of 4 relays in the box including the KD. https://www.shelly.com/en-us/products/shop/shelly-plus-2-pm-ul

But you are looking for an external keypad that will be exposed to the weather, yes?

I totally agree this is going in circles and an integrator or electrician should be involved to prevent potential death. You need at least 4 relays if you want to retain the existing functionality. Put them where you want. A Keypad only has a single relay, but can control any relay etc using programming. I'm going to throw gas on the fire. You have a two gang box so you can have this: 1 KD and 1 block off plate plus 3 relays. 2 KD plus 2 relays 4 relays wired to existing swtiches 1 KD, 1 double switch and 3 relays 4 relays motion switch and humidity switch 1 KD and 1 triple decora switch and 3 relays 4 relays a blank 2 gang switch plate and Alexa/Josh 2 KD plus 3 relays to split ceiling from vanity 1 KD , 2 relays and smart bulbs ... Decide your budget and desired physical human factors experience with the switches.

Weird thread. Keypads for an electric lock shouldn't be confusing the "trades". Assuming someone intentionally purchased this door/lock and the house has other electric locks I would hope that a security company was involved. Is this the only door in the house with electric lock? Since this is a lock and not a strike is it wired through the hinge? You don't want some goofy keypad next to a modern door. What does the client want? I take it you are not the control4 dealer. GC for the addition?

Yes. At the same time the expectation is that you are not treating the community like your personal source of free information and rather doing your own due diligence and avoid taxing the goodwill of others. Forums work when they are collaborative rather than one way. Get a little give a little. Yes, obviously.

This topic has been covered a few times if you search around.

When a switch is off its actually in an open state. When the circuit is closed a light will be on. You may want to read a little on the Shelly website and look at the circuit diagrams. A shelly device is powered by the circuit and not the state of the switch or power through the switch. The switch is wired entirely to the shelly and no longer wired to the circuit or the load. e.g. the shelly is wired to the line from your electrical panel or hot line and the load or your light or fan. The switch is connected to the shelly for control. The shelly does all of the controlling whether its triggered from the switch or communication logic. Do you have an integrator? I'd most certainly have them involved given the questions.
