Topfox Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 All my triggers are showing and the device it is tagged to shows as being online with the IP I assigned it. However if I go into the Alexa app it shows all my triggers as a state of Server Not Responding. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The driver doesn't seem to be working today. It's been working fine for a long time since yesterday but not today. None of the devices will discover either. Tried forgetting them all re-discovering with no luck. Was there a firmware update to the echo's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfh Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Don’t know. I’ve been using commands all day just fine but have not tried to add new triggers or devices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopedogg88 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Yes Amazon did push out an update and we have received several reports yesterday and today about the update breaking the connectivity with our v180 driver. We are actively looking into it. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk South Africa C4 user and dcovach 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chopedogg88 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 You mean our v2 driver? And did that work for you? Haven't had a chance to test it yet. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topfox Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 I’m pretty sure i upgraded to the v2 driver and it didn’t change anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopedogg88 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 You have to delete the v180 driver and start from scratch with the v2 driver. Can't update driver. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaphod Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I have been having issues with this driver for about a week - not sure what version I am on but I will check tonight. I am guessing I am on the 1.8 as I don't remember upgradign and I have been using it for a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prabeau Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Stupid Question......... but how does one determine the version of this or other drivers Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphod Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 It looks like I have version 110 - I see that fromt he Documentation page of the Driver's Properties in Composer HE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you further explain...., I have driver version 110. I also have multiple Echo Devices, 1st, 2nd, 3rd... Gen and so on. In C4 the driver is set to an original Gen 1 Echo dot. Could we / one not just change the IP in the driver settings to a newer Gen model? Would that work @chopedogg88? If not...do we have to change / update the IP of the Echo device to a non Gen 1 model....then reprogram and rediscover all triggers? Any advice is appreciated. Also @jackstiffer what was your original Echo model, and what model did you upgrade to? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

becnel51 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Major thanks to @jackstiffer, I can confirm the following for all (*** Specifically for those running C4 OS 3.0, very important ***) - Upgrading to the V2 Driver does work.... and yes you must completely remove the old driver, and upload the new one. - You do lose all programming and triggers as @chopedogg88 has stated, so save / backup all your info elsewhere before removing the old driver and uploading the new one (makes reprogramming easier also). At least for me it made things much easier, as I have over 100 triggers / verbal commands. - As a precaution I would also backup C4 before doing any of this, and copy the Activation key for the Epic Systems Echo Driver (you'll need this to activate the V2 Driver) - Lastly, I did set the IP of my Echo device to a newer model (not Gen 1), not sure if this was necessary... But I can 100% confirm all Gen 1 / Legacy devices will / do work. I'm able to give all voice commands to a Gen 1 Echo Dot, and everything functions as it should. - Might also be a good idea to reboot the C4 controller, after all updating / programming / testing. Old habit, I guess. Hope this helps someone...time to sleep. chopedogg88 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopedogg88 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I have been trying to get my gen2 dot to update to a newer firmware but can't seem to force it to update. Tried muting it for over an hour. Anyone know how to force it?I did work with a customer and can confirm that the v2 (200) driver does work with a Gen 2 dot which has been updated to the newer firmware.

drmark12pa Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I have the 110 driver but haven't noticed anything other than maybe some lag this past week. I had just updated to 3.0 firmware on C4 as well. Do I need to update my Echo driver at this time to the newest version? If you upgrade/update the driver, how is this done firstly and then how do I save all of my previously programmed verbal commands as I have a huge list of commands I've programmed for this driver.

Topfox Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 I set up the new driver, connected to the echo dot I was connected to before, created my triggers, but now they aren’t being discovered during discovery. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drmark12pa Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Is there any benefit to upgrading to the new 2.0 driver such as response time other than support for new Alexa/Echo devices? I was mistaken in that I actually have the 180 version and everything works just fine now with Control 3.0 so didn't want to change anything if I didn't need to.
