bit of a long shot but could you email me the mi-light driver many thanks to j.abel1986@hotmail.com

Yes, I have that keypad to turn it on/off handy. It having too many wired connections is the problem I'm solving by adding a puck and turning it on/off remotely from the keypad.

This does sound like a Director reboot to me. Have you checked uptime on your Director? Or programmed a push notification on startup of Director?

There is a little bit of control on the home side if you wish to remove a binding from a button. Changing the button behavior can remove the connection. Be careful with this though as you will not be able to rebind it once its removed its gone until a pro user rebinds it. Also if the scenes are bound and you just want to change the scene you can even do that in The control4 app now. for @ktraynham and others who are interested check out Patreon.com/waltstv we have nearly 100 videos show casing so much that you can do with composer home and adding 2 more videos each month now for nearly 4 years. Enjoy!

Great questions: How do I get it back = I wait +- 2-5mins for all the navigators to come back online (either my phone app, neo, sr260, T4) - they all go offline at the same time as the "black out". I don't physically reboot anything. To get the picture back the source (under watch) are all marked as off as if the room is off (but audio is still coming through the speakers), I then select the source again and it comes back as per normal. This is happening once max twice a day, random times I can't find a pattern to attribute it to. The last three times I was watching Apple TV but it has happened with cable TV, with Netflix running off a Android Nvidia so it's all different sources. What I did notice on apple TV is I completely lose C4 remote via ip on the apple TV and it never recovers until I reboot the apple TV but saying that I'm on TvOS18 so that could attributed to the current known TvOs 18 bug who knows. Matrix control = IP. It's just weird this setup had been so stable.

A big agree with this. As an end user it is so frustrating to want to program your keypads but not know what is done with Connections.

How do you get the image to come back? reboot matrix, reboot source, power TV off, comes back when I reselect the room source? matrix is 232 or IP?

not on DC yet but DM me and I can get you a copy. Send me the mac and email and I can create a version for you.

+1 on this. Been using Home assistant driver to clear the Sonos queue but would be great for customer projects where we don't have Home assistant running.

OK, so bit the bullet and decided to wipe the controller. reverted to the last version of 3.3. re-installed drivers, just the ones for the audio matrix and sonos tried playing music and white noise. disconnected after 10 minutes the first time and after 5 minutes the second. it is losing the connection to composer as well during this time this is with ONLY the triad matrix and sonos driver. I am going to try setting up a ea1 as the primary controller and see if that does the same thing. that should check the matrix (but I dont think that is the issue as it is my second one) not quite sure what I am going to do after that. I am beginning to think this is a controller issue rather than a driver issue. anybody have issues with the core series doing something similar?

I bought an WK-1 AP off Marketplace and I wanted to add it to my NK. I already have 2 WK-1s and would like to to expand my coverage in my home. I do not have the logins to the NK even after trying all of the default password. And my dealer is not responsive and I don't want to deal with him anyways. What should I do in my situation? Reset the NK-1?

Yes that's correct

That will work. The only issue you may have is that you will need a control4 keypad (which isn't connected to the load) in a location that is acceptable to you to control the load. You could wire a wireless keypad to that single square backbox to achieve that.

Ken, The keypad buttons are linked to scenes/lights in the Connections section of Composer Pro, which isn't available in Composer HE, which is why you aren't seeing the "missing link". I have stated before and I'll state again...really wish they would make this stuff visible but read-only in Composer HE, so at least there is no major mystery and HE users can see the information so as not to be confused. Its best done with Connections because then the keypad button LED can easily track scene active/inactive status without doing any additional programming work. As far as the scenes themselves, they can be created/edited in Composer HE under Agents -> Advanced Lighting agent. They can also be created/edited right from within the Control4 mobile app under Lighting->Scenes (and that will then impact what the buttons do, if they are linked to the scene that you are editing) Hope that helps. thanks Ari

Yes, any keypad (be it stand alone or as part of a dimmer or switch) button can be set to control any load (and many more functions besides course) If you have a dealer bind a keypad switch button to a dimmer, it'll give full press and hold/release dimming control, or yes you could have it programmed to jump or ramp to whatever you like on a press/tap How easy it is to mimic keypads depends mostly on what said keypad is doing. But it's not really hard to do as such. There's no built in ability to 'transfer' or copy a keypads bindings or programming as a whole from one to the next, though copy and paste per event (ie 'press on a keypad) is available. Bindings cannot be really copied, but its so easy to just do them it doesn't really matter.

I am coming back to Control4 after a long absence and trying to do some things with Composer HE. My first project is to revisit the buttons on my three six-button controllers. There have never worked right and I hope to establish a sense of continuity in the way all the controllers are set up, including the way the LED's are used. The first thing I found when I attempt to program the buttons is that there is no code in the script section of each button. Does anyone know why this might be true? Might I have made some mistake that wiped out all the code? Secondly, I found several advanced lighting scenes in the Agents section. These scenes look like they could be triggered by a button, but I didn't find any way to associate an button with a scene. I also read that scenes could be created by Composer HE and I vaguely remember my very first dealer creating some for me, but I have not yet found anything that tells me how to created them. I appreciate any and all help and I would be happy to read any references that anyone can point me to. Thank you, Ken Traynham

Could you post a picture of this?

Can a button on a Square Wireless Keypad C4-SKC-N switch be used to dim lights controlled by a Square Adaptive Phase Dimmer C4-SAPD240-N? I presume yes, and that is a stupid question but felt the need to ask anyway! I'm thinking of how to minimise costs for additional keypads. One way would be to swap out the 4 stairwell dimmers for switches (since full beam and no dimming is needed there) and move the dimmers into the new rooms instead. But I might want a button on those switches to be programmed give say a 50% light in a room with a circuit that has a C4 dimmer on it., or perhaps a Shelly puck. Of course this would require paying for the reworking in Composer, so the saving could be reduced? How easy is it to clone/copy a keypad's settings to make that easy and less prone to error or omission?

Thanks very much for the pointers. The idea I've been given elsewhere is to: Pull down a spotlight and splice a puck into the circuit. Wire the circuit to live but not to any keypad/switch Programme a keypad button to turn the puck on/off. This does mean the electrican running the spotlight circuit to the keypad would have been pointless (except in the case of reverting to dumb switches one day).

Audio is output from the same matrix right? And audio plays through the problem?

Any update on this?

Nope no wattbox at all in my install but you did make me go check power and can confirm, all power related connections are tested and in good working condition - thanks for the prompt though

Apple's identified their issue. Waiting on Apple. https://status.snapone.com/

my understanding, if they're on ios18 you need to wait for a fix. or use IR or the intrinsic driver works
