dnmtbr Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 @alanchow Do you have any plans to update this driver to support Venstar remote wireless sensors? The Venstar api supports retrieving the temperature and battery from remote sensors (https://developer.venstar.com/documentation/#query_sensors). I'd really like to be able to use a per-room temp sensor in programming, and get low battery alerts through the driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanchow Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 You’ll have to reach out to Venstar about that. They sponsor it so they own the IP and will need to authorise changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monopole Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Is the control4 integration a local solution (i.e. working without internet access) or a cloud based solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Control4 certified drivers require local IP control so yes its local. monopole 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
