alanchow Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Chowmain - Relay to Light Driver There are numerous devices in Control4 that have relay outputs. These relays can be used to switch numerous devices on and off including lighting. Control4 do not have a method of natively displaying these relay devices as lighting devices. This driver will allow you to connect a relay output and display it as a ON/OFF lighting device.Features Works with Advanced Lighting ScenesOn/Off control from navigatorOn/Off feedback from the relay Frequently Asked Questions Can you give us some examples of how we could use this driver? This driver enables you to use 3rd party relay devices to convert them to lights in Control4 if the 3rd party device doesn't already have a driver for lighting. Will work on security systems that support relay outputs, card access products, axxess products, control4 IO extender/controllers and more.How do I find out more information about the driver? Please see the links below for more information about the driver. Download Installation Guide How do I buy the driver?This driver is developed by Chowmain software & apps and is distributed and supported by Houselogix, Inc. Download Driver / Purchase LicenceWho do i contact for technical support?This driver is developed by Chowmain software & apps and is distributed and supported by Houselogix, Inc. SupportDo you provide trial licences?All Chowmain drivers for Control4 come with a 48 hour trial. This is activated once you add the driver to the project. No additional steps are necessary.

turls Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I think this is what I need for my LED path lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanchow Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 Yep. If it is connected to a relay then it will work. Another cool thing is that you can use it with advanced lighting scenes including delays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanchow Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Updated to support invert relay functionality as per request Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanchow Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 Updated to supportKeypad Button BIndings / LED coloursSupport to update the broken Card Access HPC Lighting driver. This is useful for those who do not want to reprogram any bindings, actions, conditional logic, etc. All you need to do it update the obsolete driver (under manage drivers), restart director and enter the driver licence in.

jfh Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Can I use this to create "lights" that don't control anything?I'd like to have on/off switches in Navigator (e.g. "Snooze") that could be used in programming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Sure - though it might be best for tracking to have a free controller relay to tie it to (in programming, doesn't have to actually connect to anything - that way it will have the ability to track state) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfh Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 If I use the IR driver, do I need one IR port per variable/light I want to define? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanchow Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 If I use the IR driver, do I need one IR port per variable/light I want to define? You don't need to bind any IR ports to the driver. You can use as many as you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
