Please submit a ticket or call our office for support (AEDT business hours). I didn’t develop this driver myself so I can’t really help you on this one and the guy that did doesn’t visit forums.

Just make sure that you are not breaching any non disclosure agreements by posting that information.

Control4 used to have something simliar. The heavy duty power controller. Don't think it was used that often. It might be worth reaching out to Quyen or Noel from Control4 to discuss the viability of the product in their market. https://www.control4.com/docs/product/heavy-duty-power-controller/professional-wiring-guide/english/latest/heavy-duty-power-controller-professional-wiring-guide-rev-a.pdf

Don't think you want to do that. Most OAuth2 based systems require token exchanges and token refreshes periodically. Most of the ones i have seen range from hourly to at max once a month. Most of them are weekly. Honestly if it gets to that stage a real driver should be written.

My theater has a 2m wide blind and although it is slower than the other shades I have it does work. In regards to how powerful it actually is you’ll have to reach out to the manufacturer with that question.

Hi guys, Back in May i had the idea to start the 'SMART HOME PRO TIPS' series of informational newsletters through our mailing lists in the hope that we can pass on knowledge and educate both integrators and consumers about which products to choose from and what to do to create the ultimate smart home! Our first newsletter was about easy ceiling fan integration into Control4. We just sent out a new one today about easy blind / shade integration into Control4. Hopefully you guys find it useful. I just installed the Oz Smart Things Oz Remote Smart Blinds at my place and at $399.99 AUD for a 3 pack it is bang for buck. Was really easy to install and took about 2 minutes to do each blind. Will let you guys know how the solar holds up over the coming months. If you arn't subscribed to our newsletter you can view the first issue via the above newsletter links.

How do you use the driver? The driver is smart enough to figure out if a sequence is on for that zone. If a sequence is switched on all other sequences in that zone show as off. To switch sequences just select one of the other sequences. To turn off the zone just turn off the active sequence. How do I find out more information about the driver?

We are not doing any sales this year.

If it’s 8 timers only you should do the math to align the timer up to whenever you have set it once off first off. After that 24 hour repeating timers will do.

Yep similar concept. My method just aligns it to the minute rather than randomly whenever the timer starts.

Sorry this driver does not support custom headers

Method 1 - Utilise os.time() and a initial timer set up a reoccurring timer to the period you want (this lines it up to the exact second. You will need to do a bit of math eg every minute/five/half hour/hour) and utilise a table of a schedules (time stamps) to determine when you want to fire a schedule) Method 2 - similar to above but rather than using timestamps utilise os.date to figure out the day of the week, month, year if you want to do reoccurring based on any of those factors. Hope that helps.

In general i would stay away from programming in this method as tracking would be lost. You can hide rooms from navigator. The programming is really simple. Just add in a room. Set the endpoint to zone 2. Add in a media scene tying the room power, volume, mute and source selection. Program custom button (or experience button) to activate / deactivate the media scene. All in all it should take you 30-60 seconds to complete all of that programming.

The best method of doing this is to create a media scene that joins the rooms together and enable / disable that media scene from the custom button. That will work perfectly.

All good. I appreciate the concern

We struck a deal with Staub. They did not steal anything.

Current is at that point in time. Note though the agent polls once every 15 mins so data may be 15 mins stale (which for weather should be ok)

If you want a map you could possibly utilise a webview driver to display a webpage on your T3/T4 touchscreen. Note it only works on T3/T4. The Agent requires the following to be setup for data to be imported. Lat Long Project Temperature Scale (to Celcius or Fahrenheit) Open Weather Key In regards to the advantage. Control4 has been asking us to do this so that we can clean up projects a bit. here is their reasoning.

We have been using open weather for years. This agent is actually a rewrite of the driver we have had in a much better and easier to use way.

Chowmain - Open Weather Agent OpenWeather is a team of IT experts and data scientists that has been practising deep weather data science since 2014. For each point on the globe, OpenWeather provides current and forecasted weather data. The Chowmain OpenWeatherMap agent brings all of this data into Control4 for use in the home automation system. This is useful for automating services within the home based upon the external environment.Features The agent utilises project's Location and Temperature scale automatically to ensure that the data you receive is specific to your project and is returned in imperial or metric Auto polls for weather information every 15 minutes Bindings for current temperature and current humidity allows you to connect to temperature display driver and other thermostat drivers Current Weather Conditions for: Sunset (time) Sunrise (time) Temperature Minimum Temperature Maximum Wind Speed (miles/hour or meters/sec) Wind Direction (degrees) Temperature (degrees celcius / fahrenheit) Pressure (hPa) Humidity (percentage) Dew Point (degrees celsius / fahrenheit) Clouds (percentage) Rain (mm) Snow (mm) Forecasted Weather Conditions for (Today & Tomorrow): Temperature Minimum (degrees celcius / fahrenheit) Temperature Maximum (degrees celcius / fahrenheit) Wind Speed (miles/hour or meters/sec) Wind Direction (degrees) Pressure (hPa) Humidity (percentage) Dew Point (degrees celsius / fahrenheit) Clouds (percentage) Precipitation Rain (mm) Snow (mm) FAQ Can you give us some examples of how we could use this driver? Humidifiers can be turned on automatically if it is going to be a dry day If it is going to be a hot and sunny day, close the shutters to shut the heat out If it is hotter indoors than it is outdoors and the wind direction is facing the motorised windows then open the windows If it's going to snow tomorrow, turn on the Heated Driveway System in advance If it is going to be a hot day turn on the AC If it is going to rain don’t automatically water the garden Water the garden if it is extremely hot and if it hasn’t watered the garden in X amount of days If it is going to be a cloudy day and the customer has solar then don’t turn on the smart appliances until tomorrow Combine with our Advanced Announcements driver to read the weather forecast out in the morning Why do you only support OS 3.1.3 and above Driver developers can only develop agents for OS 3.1.3 and above. I can't find the driver in composer? This is not a driver but an agent. You have to add it in via the agents tab. See PDF installation guide for detailed instructions. I bought the internet weather forecast driver do i get an upgrade? This driver uses the same licencing so no upgrade required. It will work. How do I find out more information about the agent?

Ok now that the new IntesisBox products are out i can talk about it. If you are still going with Mitsubishi and are using the City Multi systems then you can use the following new hardware that was launched a few days ago. It connects to the outdoor unit and controls all indoor units connected. https://www.intesis.com/products/ac-interfaces/wifi-gateways/mitsubishi-electric-city-multi-home-automation?ordercode=INMBSMIT050C000

MAJOR UPDATE This driver has now been updated to support the new IntesisBox products that are designed to control multiple indoor units via the outdoor unit's bus. Intesis now manufacturer 3 different types of gateways. Bi-directional Infrared Emitter / Receiver Universal IntesisBoxs are developed to offer compatibility with thousands of HVAC models through infra red and offer room temperature feedback via a sensor in the IntesisBox. The home owner can utilise the existing infra-red remote control as well as the infra red receiver will translate the IR signal and report back to the home automation system what the HVAC mode, Setpoint and fan speed is. Indoor Unit Gateways These gateways can be retrofit easily as they tap into the HVAC' system’s indoor unit communications wiring which provides the IntesisBox with both power and communications. This means that you don’t need to run new cabling to get this solution to work. These models are developed to communicate with the HVAC manufacturer’s proprietary communications protocol allowing for true real time bidirectional communication with the system. Outdoor Unit Gateways These gateways tap into the outdoor unit’s communication wiring and can control multiple indoor units for multi-zone control. These solutions are din rail mounted and require 9-36vdc / 24vac power. The new models are as follows Mitsubishi Electric City Multi systems to Home Automation Interface Panasonic ECOi, ECOg and PACi systems to Home Automation Interface Samsung NASA VRF systems to Home Automation Interface Fujitsu VRF systems to Home Automation Interface Hitachi VRF systems to Home Automation Interface Hisense VRF systems to Home Automation Interface

UPDATE This has now been integrated. Considering the magnetic triggers are battery operated it works really well. Think this is great for places where you can’t run cable

We looked into this a while ago. You can just download all of the sounds and add it to Control4's music library for playback for private usage. Otherwise there is a commercial licence for use if combined into a driver.
