alanchow Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Chowmain - Generic Relay Driver (IR) Driver Control4 allows for you to easily integrate infra red based audio/visual devices but it does not give you the ability to integrate infra red based motorized/relay devices. This is where the Chowmain generic relay driver comes in. With customizable properties where you can enter in IR HEX codes you can now integrate infra red based motorized/relay devices into Control4 with the correct icon. Features Definable On/Off Hex IR codes in properties * Easy to manage * Can have multiple copies of the same driver with different IR codes IR Binding * You can bind it to any infra red output in your Control4 system. Relay Binding * Match it up to the nearest icon for your device On/Off/Toggle functions * With notifications to the proxy means that the client will know when the device is on/off (note that as it is IR based/without feedback it is assumed On/Off) Frequently Asked Questions Can you give us some examples of how we could use this driver? * This driver is useful for integrating IR based motorised devices into Control4. This includes IR based blinds, fans, power outlets and more Are there any other cool things we can do with this driver? * Since the driver has definable properties you can have multiple drivers connected to the same IR port. This includes the IR blaster on supported controllers. This means that you can control any amount of IR based motorised devices on a singular IR port (upto the limitations of the port). What hardware will this work on? This driver will work on any IR controllable device through any IR output compatible with Control4. Examples include. * Gas Fireplaces * Blinds * Fans * Motorised Lifts * Motorised Screens * Power Outlets How do I find out more information about the driver?

Having said that you could probably just create a AV driver in driver wizard and just add the command to the programming events of any motorised device connected to the generic relay driver as the event will fire open or close and as such will fire the programming.
