Matt Lowe Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I will add release notes as i come by them Currently New EA series controllers will be running android OSD New native apple watch app. BEAUTIFUL NEW HOME SCREEN & WATCH EXPERIENCE Moving away from Flash, the new EA Series line delivers a beautiful, new home screen running on Android. The EA Series controllers deliver a faster, more responsive on-screen experience and an all-new modern, horizontal layout on the home screen. OS 2.8.1 also delivers new icons that more accurately represent entertainment devices in the Watch menu. If a homeowner has an Apple TV, they see an Apple TV icon. The new Roku driver also makes it easy to jump right to Netflix, Hulu or any of the other channels. Any one who has updated To 2.8 with me don't forget to message me for your free update.

I thought android was an OS? Or maybe its a VM or something running in busy box? Also, any chance that the new UI will come to the HC-800/250? I have (2) HC-800's and a 250 for about a year now (very fast), so probably won't be upgrading anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people thing Android = Android OS as in phones - I 'warned' against that thought several times already, it's not (never ) that simple. And I'd say there is 0 chance of the new OSD coming to older controllers - they may or may not 'update' that OSD (I have my doubts) with newer options etc, but it won't match the EA style.

RyanE Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 As the older controllers don't have Android-compatible hardware, nor 1080 compatible hardware, they likely won't be getting the "new UI". RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already ran the update at my house. HC-250 OSD has the horizontal layout now. NVM, I'm an idiot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanE As I am still using a 720 TV through a Sony 1800 AVR, will the 1080p UI cause problems or will the EA or the AVR downscale it to 720?

The new controller will check your EDID and set itself to 720p/1080i/1080p as appropriate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That usually means that the director you are connected to is not registered on the Control4 owner's website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav3r1ck Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Thanks for your reply, but that's not it. The controller is registered. I also did all the previous updates without any problems. Update: fixed it... It seemed the controller was having problems in resolving the web service address, so I entered the google dns entries (8.8.8.8) instead of my router's gateway address.. Update is currently running! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
