  1. 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.

  3. Also just wanted to say that this is the first driver that @Andrew luecke has developed at Chowmain Software & Apps. He has done a fantastic job and it is upto (if not exceeding) the standards we have at our company. Keep up the good work mate.

Lights, Relays and Dimmers integration via M1 for greater integration and Advanced Lighting Support. Zone integration via Contact Closure Bindings Temperature Sensor Keypad bindings for RF Keyfob & Keypad Function Buttons FAQ What cool things can driver do? 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?

  5. No. The driver utilises an experience button so it works on both ios an android navigators.
  6. Not familiar with the box but if it runs Android TV OS then it will work with this driver. http://www.chowmainsoft.com/android
  7. 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.
  8. Bond is releasing the pro in the next couple of weeks. I was asked to join their CEO for a CE Pro podcast which came out over the weekend. You can read / listen / watch it via the link below. https://www.cepro.com/podcast/ce-pro-podcast-47-olibra-bond-bridge-pro/
  9. I would check composer logs to see whats going on. C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Control4\Logs

  12. No we do not capture any URL parameters. It is purely used to fire basic events if it hits a pre-defined URL endpoint.
  13. 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
  14. Also alot of passwords are discarded for tokens which refresh periodically
  15. Which group is that? Its probably best to reach out to the Qolsys guys to get official documentation them
  16. 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.
  17. This is definately the case. It only obtains data from 3 parts of the project file. Lat, long and temperature. This is all set in the project settings page at the top of the project tree. Note that the driver polls once every 15 minutes so you may need to wait until the next poll period for it to get the new data in the new units.
  18. It is based on the projects scale.
  19. Our open weather agent will let you program off of current weather conditions, today’s forecast and tomorrow’s forecast. https://www.chowmainsoft.com/weather-forecast
  20. I have now implemented the the android MENU command into the driver. This is mapped to the INFO button and provides the same functionality as long pressing the center button. IRUSB is still the fastest method of control if speed is an issue. You can also try changing the Control Method in the driver's properties to Zank Default. This will be faster but doesn't work with every app. The Zank developer mentioned to me that this is because some apps utilise a webview for their app and the controls don't pass through. I am using the Chromecast with Google TV + their OEM ethernet adapter without any issueshttps://store.google.com/au/product/chromecast_ethernet_adapter_gen_2 I take that back. Looking at the Google APIs it looks like i can do power and inputs. I expect power on won't work though so hopefully a wake on lan packet or something similar does. I'll do some testing on the kogan android tv we have in the office. @enzedercan you please tell me if a wake on lan packet turns your tv on?
  21. Actually it does work on android TVs to an extent. We tested it on a Kogan android tv with some success. it won’t control the TV portion of it. Eg power, inputs, etc but it will control the android side. personally I wouldn’t use it for this reason.
  22. Chowmain - Android TV driver (Chromecast with Google TV, Xiaomi Mibox, Airtv, Nvidia Shield, etc) Want to control the Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast with Google TV, Nvidia Shield, Xiaomi Mibox, AirTV and more? The Chowmain Android TV driver is designed to control Google Android TV boxes. It is a software only solution so no extra hardware required. This allows you to utilise the Control4 Neeo or SR-260 remote to navigate the Android operating system and control applications as you would with a normal infra red remote control. No need to root the device and no need to install any additional hardware. Add to this the ability to launch applications via the Apps driver (which lists all installed apps), via mini drivers for individual apps (for the most popular applications), via coloured buttons and also programmatically. This driver requires a 3rd party application called Zank Remote be installed and configured on your android device. Just install the app from play store and follow the instructions to configure the Android TV box. We partnered with the developer of Zank to further develop their app to provide the functionality we require for integration. Note a portion of licencing revenue goes towards our partners at Zank to support the Zank app development. Features IP Based communications Auto Discovery of Box Transport Controls Playback Control Audio End-Point assignment for volume funcitonality Video End-Point assignment Launch applications from coloured buttons Launch applications from navigator (under the apps icon) Application Mini drivers can be connected for quick launching.

  23. We cannot change the way the physical button works. As such preset level is not implemented. if you are looking for lighting control from navigator or using advanced lighting scenes then the lights are bang forward buck.
