Chowmain - TP-Link Wifi Smart Home Driver Suite
alanchow replied to alanchow's topic in Third Party Software
The version is 20210406. I checked and can see that quite alot of people have updated to this version so i am going to assume it auto-updated correctly (given the large numbers on that version). If you are not on that version manually update it. -
Chowmain - TP-Link Wifi Smart Home Driver Suite
alanchow replied to alanchow's topic in Third Party Software
You'll need to capture logs and send it to our helpdesk for us to troubleshoot. If it is intermittent then the only thing i can think of is network replated issues. Thing that comes to mind is some people try to reboot their network with it but don't understand that without the network Control4 cannot send an on command to it to turn it back on again. -

Automated blind chain motor that works with C4 or Bond?
alanchow replied to htjunkie's topic in General Control4 Discussion
Don’t think so. Think oz smart things is dooya based. I like supporting them as they provide excellent customer service to us and all of our dealers / end users. mine has been working solid since I got it. Running on solar and got it scheduled based on sunset / sunrise apart from when it’s a day hotter than 25 degrees c where it won’t open. Integrates perfectly via Bond. -
It’s library based so it pulls in whatever is in your Zappiti library.

No we don't have reboot functionality sorry.

alanchow replied to alanchow's topic in Third Party Software
Yes that is correct. It is poll based and yes the time is adjustable. Honestly though for the application you want it for what difference is there for an additional 30 seconds in the worse case? I'm sure its just in case you forget to turn off the lights / fans. If you want instant feedback you'll need to go with another product as we do not get that with TP-Link products. -
Everythings working fine at my place (i have it activating my porch lights when ring detects motion every night). Please lodge a ticket on our helpdesk and the support agent will ask you to provide us with remote access. Once this is done we can review whats going on. Also please make sure you are on the latest version of the driver. We had issues a year or so ago which was solved.

The included lock proxy allows you to manage wiegand interfaces for access control permissions. If you are using RS232 based communications the clock on the keypads usually drift after a while. The driver will automatically sync the clock to the controller's time so that it will always be accurate. The driver provides push and email notificaitons without programming for all major events. This is useful for the home owner to know who armed or disarmed the area. Keypad bindings for keypad function buttons and RF keyfob buttons makes it easy to program the driver. Advanced History agent integration allows the custom to review whats happened in their home easily without having to sift through replicated events. Lighting and Temperature sensor integration What module is required to connect to the panel via network Whilst this module supports serial, we recommend the use of IP, using a M1-XEP module which also helps facilitate reconfiguration of the panel locally or remotely (with port forwarding or a seperate VPN server/router), without the requirement to disconnect the Control4 system. Keep in mind, whilst connected in ELKRP, Control4 cannot connect properly to the Ness M1, but will automatically try to reconnect after ELKRP has disconnected How do I find out more information about the driver?

Best Garage Door Opener for Integration?
alanchow replied to DLite's topic in General Control4 Discussion
If you want local integration then you just need a contact and a relay that is integrated into Control4. If you have zigbee then my recommendation is a Z2IO as you can do both using the one device. You will need to supply a Reed Switch to monitor the door. If however you can get cabling from your controller then you may be able to use the contact and relay on the controller depending on the controller you have. -

Automated blind chain motor that works with C4 or Bond?
alanchow replied to htjunkie's topic in General Control4 Discussion
This is what I have used for a few of the blinds at my house. Works well with Bond Bridge. https://www.ozsmartthings.com.au/collections/smart-blinds/products/smart-blinds -

persistent SSL socket on port 12345. When it connects it requests a summary is a JSON encoded packet. Packet should bve something like this. {"nonce": "", "action": "INFO", "info_type": "SUMMARY", "version": 0, "source": "C4","token":"whatever the token is in the driver's properties"} Also did Qolsys provide this driver to you unencrypted as the one in the online database is encrypted.
