Hello, Can anyone recommend, please, an email driver which permits the usage of Control4 variables in the subject line of an email? I enjoy using Chowmain's SMTP driver (part of the Notification Suite) @alanchow. This driver permits usage of Control4 variables in the body of the email which I am successfully using. However, this driver does not permit usage of variables in the subject line. Kind regards, Brad

I have had very positive past dealings with a company called Engineering Solutions Inc. These are the developers of the DMX Quad Engine RS232 to DMX device which is used by a Domaudeo Advanced DMX driver. Of late, I have not been able to reach them at all -- even with an order pending. Most importantly I hope all is well. Does anyone have any info or alternate contact info? Thank you

thank you. The TV is on a slider and running another cable to the set is not an option. But I appreciate your suggestion.

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.
