thank you for your reply. I am using the IP driver.

Hello Team, I have a question, please: How can I use Composer script to generate a simulated key press of the Samsung "Smart Hub" button (pictured below)? I have tried all of the seemingly obvious choices from the actions (including the mini-apps) for the Samsung driver. Any assistance appreciated; thank you in advance.

@RAV 100% agree with both of your points; I have revised my code and appreciate your commentary. I learned some today and I hope others reviewing these notes are equally benefited. Thank you.

@RAV Below is the dimming code post your suggestion ...

@RAVfantastic! yup, I agree with your approach. Thank you for sharing.

First thank you all for your comments. This forum is a tremendous resource. By way of follow-up, I wanted to post the code that is successfully working in my project. I have attached the screenshot. I am not using STOP commands because my use case requires that when a KCB button marked "Brighter" is pressed, all of the 4 lighting circuits that service a room get brighter <IF> that particular lighting circuit is already on. If the lighting circuit is off, the button press has no impact on that circuit. Many experienced C4 programmers are on this board. I invite / welcome all comments, criticisms, and suggestions.

thank you for your reply. I will count another vote in favor of adding GOTO and CASE. With respect to your comment regarding lower limits, in the VBA world, each of the conditionals listed under CASE would be considered in order; once ONE of the conditionals were true, the <then> portion would be executed AND the operating system would jump to the additional code -- the other conditionals of the CASE command would not be considered. By listing the conditionals in ascending order, we can eliminate the lower bounds. This is very efficient.

I find that ComposerPro (HE) is missing a logic command equivalent to the CASE function in Excel's VBA. Consider an instance in which you want a singular event to be triggered when a button is pressed and the brightness of a particular light is within a set of ranges. For example: CASE LL Bedroom-->Entry is on <AND> if LL Bedroom->Entry current brightness <=25% Set the brightness to 25 on LL Bedroom -> Entry LL Bedroom-->Entry is on <AND> if LL Bedroom->Entry current brightness <=50% Set the brightness to 50 on LL Bedroom -> Entry LL Bedroom-->Entry is on <AND> if LL Bedroom->Entry current brightness <=75% Set the brightness to 75 on LL Bedroom -> Entry LL Bedroom-->Entry is on <AND> if LL Bedroom->Entry current brightness <=100% Set the brightness to 100 on LL Bedroom -> Entry additional code follows.... Yes, a set of STOP or ELSE commands can be used but not very efficiently. I also would propose either a SUBroutine or GOTO command for additional flexibility. Thoughts appreciated.

I did not ask him -- he is traveling and I am putting together a list of Next Steps for further system development. I appreciate your input and thank you for your comment.

I have a terrific dealer. Thank you.

Hello, I have a lighting element that is currently controlled by a Kasa HS220 dimmer. Currently, the light can be controlled (on / off and dimming) either by the physical button on the HS220 dimmer or via the C4-T4 Touchscreens. I recently installed a KCB wired keypad. Does anyone know if I can bind the KCB keypad to the lighting element so that I can control dimming via the KCB? thank you for taking the time to review.

@msgreenf thank you for the feedback. Oddly when I attempted to recreate the issue, the lack of a properties feature only occurred after a backup. Strange.

Hello all, I recently upgraded to a the new version of the Composer HE. I noticed that when I highlight a project element in the MONITORING section, I can no longer access the related properties (via the properties tab). Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

@santana0201 BlackNova are great; Check out www.blacknova.co

Thank you @cidle323

Can someone please provide me the button sequence to factory reset (i.e. remove all as-written configurations and restore to out-of-box status) a KCB wired keypad. These are the C4-KCB-xx devices. For reference: 15 top button presses reboots, 5 top, 5 bottom, 5 top resets the RS485 connection. I am missing the factory reset command. Kind regards

@BXTR and @SpencerT Thank you both. I appreciate the guidance.

Does anyone know of a C4 driver that provides a virtual keypad GUI on a T4 / mobile Navigator for the C4-KCB (C4-KC120277) keypads (customizable 6 button units)?

@ajd123 you state your programming objective is: anytime any light in a bathroom is turned on it triggers a timer that will turn on my bathroom exhaust fan. If a light is on AND then another light is turned on in the bathroom, I want the timer to restart. The screenshots above show you have set the Bathroom Fan Timer to RESTART when the Master Bath lights turn OFF. Is this intentional because you want the fan to run a bit longer after all lights are off? Or is your intent to turn the fan OFF after all lights are off? If you have a lot of light switches in the bathroom, one suggestion would be to put all of your conditional programming into a single macro. You can then run the macro every time one of the switches changes state. This keeps all of the programming centralized and makes the logic easier to follow, troubleshoot, and change.

@ajd123 Check out the C4 drivers for WhatsApp, PushSafer, and Pushover. As Shoe states, these apps offer more flexibility than conventional SMS. If you are determined to continue to use SMS, SMTP2GO offers the ability to generate an SMS from an email. In such a case, you email a specific address (that you setup as an SMTP2GO sub-account) and the service re-transmits the message as if the message originated from a cell phone. There are fees associated with this service and the cost can add up quickly.

@C4 User Thank you for your reply. The IQPro DNA chart published by the manufacturer lists part number HS2TCHP as Hardwired Remote Touchscreen marketed with the IQPro.

@C4 User and @Cyknight I just completed setting up the physical equipment for the IQPro and aim to activate the panel this week. In reviewing these messages, a few users suggested that the C4 integration was only possible if a particular touchscreen was connected to the IQPro. However in a follow-up thread, concerns about needing a touchscreen seem to be discounted. I am not quite sure. Can either of you, please: advise if a touchscreen is needed (and if so, what specific model you selected)? kind regards.

@Shoe There is no guessing in home automation. The 2N keypad that sits on the mounting panel for the DoorStation unit is an ancillary module and requires mating with the DoorStation unit for any communication or logic functions. This element can not be mounted in isolation. 2N makes a separate, standalone unit that looks identical to the ancillary module and contains all of the needed electronics to function independently. We need a driver for this unit; a Chowmain driver would be a wonderful addition ( @alanchow). Chowmain drivers are fantastic and the programmers who author the drivers are top-notch. The 2N product line looks sharp and has a solid feel (real metal, not plastic). A few of the many reasons to select a standalone 2N keypad: aesthetic consistency with existing 2N DoorStations areas in which cameras would be inappropriate and intrusive there are no existing keypad only products in the C4 lineup ability to manage access codes from the same C4 Composer as DoorStations security (resistant to brute force attack on the keypad) quality, the 2N devices are consistent with high-end applications @SYH I searched extensively and could not find a great solution absent using the workaround that I outlined above. Let's hope that Chowmain identifies a business case to move forward (I did submit the driver request ticket).

how about use a standalone 2N keypad (https://www.2n.com/en_US/products/ip-access-control/2n-access-unit-2/2n-access-unit-2-touch-keypad) And then use Chowmain's Generic TCP driver to communicate between the 2N and the C4? This is a great thread because the initial inquiry exposes a missing piece of C4's line-up: a driver that supports standalone keypads (Doorstations that do NOT have a camera).

ok, an update as I just got off the phone with Quolsys Level II technical support. an official, certified IQpro specific driver is in the works and will be announced (via technical bulletin shortly) with in "a few weeks at most" for those of us who use 4-wire smokes and have a total of >300mA of smokes (each smoke is about 25mA in alarm status, so 300mA = c12 smokes) starting with firmware 04.02.03, adding a HSM2204, high voltage PGM outboard will permit the installer to select 4 additional "sensor reset" PGMs each of the PGMs on the HSM2204 board will function identically to the default PGM2 on the main IQpro panel
