cidle323 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Looks interesting, have yet to confirm drivers but a cheap alternative compared to a Somfy RTS hub and or even the C4 Zwave dongle. The Flex Cloud Cloner (FCC) can learn 433MHz radio frequency codes, allowing Control4 systems to natively control devices https://www.soundandvision.com/content/flex-automation-bridges-control4-and-z-wave MountainSound 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aayush Arya Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Sounds very interesting indeed. Z-Wave integration would make Control4 much more accessible. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcovach Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Vera controllers can integrate Zwave just fine. Maybe this hub will be less clunky for integration and I do like the 433mhz radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amr Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Well the FC4 is really promising as according to the article it directly integrates z-wave devices natively in C4. The FCC is a direct competition to Bond. While I liked Vera in the past, I had to remove it entirely from my system as it was a hassle to program everything in Vera then integrate to C4.

indecision Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I am hoping these products actually ship. Would be great to have another Zwave option for C4. My experience integrating Vera was frustrating to say the least. I ultimately removed it from my system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattcwiokowski Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 @JakelayThanks for the feedback. I will have someone take a second look. I hope you got more out of the page content than just the spellcheck challenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

u-20t Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 FWIW, I have been using a ZIR for about 5 months now and it works well for z wave receptacles, door locks and on my garage doors with a Mimo2. The zwave dongle was horrible on the locks and range was never there even with repeaters. The ZIR doesn't have that issue. I am hoping they are still tweaking as I do still need some updates on the lock driver, the status "works" but is not something reliable at least with my schlage locks. The driver will trigger the status change before the lock actuation not request status after so if there is a jamb or you use a programmed function like a UI key with "lock all" status is not correct. Also adding codes and users was availble with the c4 drivers but not with this universal one which iss annoying as it would be nice to add and pause users. The contact sensor also needs channels added into it as I currently cannot get status of the garage doors, it's all wired but since I cannot get status I can't add that in currently Overall a great idea but still needs a bit of refinement. If you would like some z wave functionality then it can be done, and if you can write drivers then I'm sure this is even more powerful of a tool. Last item note it is limited to 50 items so in the case of my garage doors even though it's 1x mimo2 connected there are 4 channels/functions connected so that does count as 4. If you need more than 50 you could use a second device but so far I am still 41 devices away and besides possibly a few blinds I don't have much more I would be adding.
