Features Manufacturer Sponsored (FREE) IP Based communications Bi-directional control and feedback via local API Auto discovery / Self Healing (no static ip required) Auto Setup - Driver discovers all the lights. Just make the bindings. Control / Feedback over switching lighting loads Control / Feedback over dimmable lighting loads Orro Presence (Occupany Feedback) Control4 Advanced Lighting Scene support Trigger Control4 Scripts from any Orro Switch allowing you to use Orro Switches as Control4 keypads to activate Control4 events (not limited to 6 hard buttons, updateable list with no limit on the number of events) FAQ How do i find out more about Orro? You can find out more about Orro via their website. https://getorro.com/ I have added additional Orro devices. You can manually import additional devices by clicking on Import Lighting under the driver’s Actions tab. How does Orro Presence and the associated Control4 Motion Sensor work? Orro Presence is determined using a combination of motion sensor data, audio data, algorithms, and settings values. Typically, lights will turn on automatically when Presence is detected and turn off when Presence is lost. Presence behavior is adjustable via Orro settings at both the Room and Switch levels. Orro Presence is mapped to a Control4 Motion Sensor which is automatically installed and programmed with each Orro lighting device. Use this in your programming for room presence programming. How do events work? The Orro driver can programmatically execute Control4 Scripts through the Orro Driver’s Events functionality. This allows you to create Events and assign Events to be shown in particular Orro Rooms. Once Events are created, you can add programming actions to the Scripts for each of the Orro Driver’s events. This is automatically synced to Orro. Execute a script by tapping the Event shown on the Orro Switch Control4 Face. There is no limit on the number of events that you can display on any Orro Switch. You can customize which Events are shown per Orro Room. If there are multiple Orro Switches in an Orro Room, each Switch will display the same Control4 Events. Note you can also choose not to display any Control4 Events on an Orro Switch. Where can I find the Offline Access Token? The Orro Offline Access Token for Control4 can be found in the Orro Apps for Android / iOS. Once the Control4 Integration has been enabled via the Orro App under Home Automation > Control4 , the Offline Access Token will be displayed in the Orro App in the Control4 Manage view. Note the Offline Access Token is unique per Orro Home. How do I find out more information about the driver? Please see the links below for more information about the driver.

AJ_ Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Nice. I was waiting to see if this would happen. The switches are slightly pricy but look nice. They would be much more appealing if they were able to replace my echo dots completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WisC4 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 This looks really interesting. @alanchow any hope of room audio integration via matrix? At the moment it looks like it only supports Sonos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As such as think of it as a light switch with a motion sensor with an Amazon echo with a unlimited button keypad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take that to mean that a button can be programmed to cue up an audio source fed from a matrix, but no audio navigation with the screen like their sonos integration for folder/source browsing and cover art?

Commands sent locally from a Control4 hub are still successfully being" The issue you experienced was due to the fact that a build pointing to Orro's development endpoints was released unintentionally when Chowmain released its new website. This has been resolved and the current Orro driver listed on the Chowmain website should function as expected. Please let us know if we can do anything to assist with your Orro x Control4 integration.
