Installation instructions Plug in the charging cables audio jack, see detailed instructions here The protective film needs to be removed from the solar panel The panel has to be attached to the window glass facing outdoors The panel does not work or has limited effectiveness with the following types of windows Frosted glass windows Windows with spectrally selective glazing Windows with tinted, coated or reflective glasses Triple pane windows Make sure that the solar panel is fully open to the sunlight and that it is not covered even partly by physical items or that it is not partly covered by shadow (for example shadows might be caused by nearby buildings or trees) Check the Charging Level.

The battery level can be checked via the Soma Smart Shades app. The driver also pulls in the battery level information as a variable. As such you can program against the battery level. We highly recommend you add a push notification to advise the home owner when the battery level is low. I want to try this driver out before buying it?

MAJOR UPDATE Introduced a new control method 'Zank Default Advanced'. This mode is 2.5x faster than the normal zank default & adb based controls. it will also work on all apps! Note that this requires that you update the Zank Remote Android TV app to the latest (12.0D version and above) and also set the control method in the driver to 'Zank Default (Advanced)' in the driver's properties. New installations have this set by default. This new upgrade makes our Google Android TV upgrade the best solution for android tv control!

You guys will need to reach out to Hikvision support to see if your hardware is compatible with the firmware. Highly recommend this before upgrading in case you brick it.

The IntesisBox universal model is semi bi-directional. What this means is that the unit ahs an IR receiver which when mounted in the correct location will detect when the home owner uses the original IR remote to control the HVAC system. This provides feedback for IntesisBox and as such Control4.

No our Zappiti driver does not do music. Zappiti does not have an API for their music library only movie library so what are are asking for is not possible.

Major Update Added support for the Hikvision I and K series NVRs and DVRs for IP based remote control simluation. Note that this requires a special firmware developed by Hikvision for us available here - https://us.hikvision.com/control4-smart-home-solution Added licence plate recognition functionality for supporting cameras Improved collection of available Basic and Smart Events for creating bindings

You have 1 aircon and 3 zones. The zones are controllable through the extras tab on the thermostat interface. Sounds like its working though based on your screenshots Check out the installation guide in the link below and see the usage section. That will give you an idea of how to use it. https://www.chowmainsoft.com/advantage-air-myair-for-control4 If you have further issues its best to submit a support ticket with logs and provide us with remote access.

This is the old way of doing it. Use either sensibo, IntesisBox or our Daikin wifi drivers (this uses d-mobile). All of these are superior options.

No it won’t work with the shield. If you want an awesome demo for your customers go either Kaleidescape or Zappiti

I can’t comment on that. You’ll need to reach out to the developer of the color wheel driver about that.

Any brand that uses Tuya will be fine. http://chowmainsoft.com/tuya-control4

The govee immersion does work (I installed it on my tv) with our driver however due to limitations in govees API we cannot set scenes or modes. As such you cannot switch to movie mode if you switch out of it. At my place I just leave it in movie mode and hide color and color temperature proxies. Have programmed it to turn on at 100% brightness if the tv turns on at night and turns off when the tv turns off. this works really well.

It is only for any driver that uses light.c4i and lightv2.c4i proxies. Basically on/off lighting loads

For Daikin splits you can use the Daikin OEM wifi module and our driver will work with it. https://www.chowmainsoft.com/daikin-wifi Alternatively intesis box also works using the same communications method (s21 port) http://www.chowmainsoft.com/intesis-control4

Sensibo’s IR receiver is used to get feedback from the original IR remote. Please make sure you install the Sensibo hardware per instructions as bad placement will mean this feature will not work.

Integration is going well. Though the API does not provide me with as much functionality as i would hope. As such the Govee immersion is limited to on/off and brightness based control (as we can't switch between the movie mode and the RGB colours). The RGB and Color Temp does work however you can't return to the movie mode if you use the driver to adjust RGB / Color Temp. However if you want to tie in the light to turn on/off to a specific brightness when your TV is on then yes we can do that. I expect this driver to be ready in the coming week or two.

Old topic but i created a completely universal driver for Optoma projectors with bi-directional control and feedback via IP and RS232. Tested on multiple projectors and it works so well.
