ajd123 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Hello Control4 employees. Just another request to have "Detective Suite" added to Composer HE. We have been requesting this for years. Any chance we might see this in a future releases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot always remember where I put programming when I go to look for it a year later. For example, I just added some notifications for my thermostat if the temperature goes above or below a set value inside the house. I placed this in the room --> thermostat --> "Temperature Changed". When I go to look for this programming in a year, I cannot always remember where I placed the programming block. Dueport 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popolou Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 If you take a current system backup, the file will contain the programming XML for the project. It can be a bit cumbersome to parse without an XML editor but it should give you a good idea what is where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDavisNJ Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I 100% agree with the above suggestion regarding including Detective Suite in the HE version. For now, a work around is to have your dealer generate a full System Report as a PDF. For my project, this is a 600+ page document. I can then use the FIND and SEARCH features in Adobe Acrobat to find programming blocks. An added advantage is that I can compare (using the REDLINE feature in Adobe Acrobat) two system reports and make certain that critical programming has not been altered.

msgreenf Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Sorry but since they released summary view I have used detective suite 0 times... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo1738 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Question is why not add it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I suspect because its part of a larger toolbox and not easily extrapolated - but i'm just guessing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDavisNJ Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 @msgreenf Summary View looks very useful. However, this element is also not available on the HE version of Composer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I know it's not. I believe they should add it to He Dueport 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I have been doing already as my current workaround. I wonder if there is a way to create a script where it would email me a full system report once a week?
