  1. Zappiti has a ripper. I haven't used it myself as they sent me the 4K mini to do the driver but they walked me through the whole process at CEDIA Expo last year and they have end to end solutions if you just want something straight forward. https://zappiti.com/zappiti-nas-rip-4k-hdr.html
  2. You should reach out to your local Control4 technical support team member for assistance with your troubleshooting.

  7. No we have not implemented push and hold functionality. You can map the context menu button to another button though.
  8. Here is a whole thread on the topic on the yeelight forums. https://forum.yeelight.com/t/how-to-cut-and-extend-lightstrip/984
  9. We used to have some magic to do this but Control4 is locking down their backend shortly. As such we can't use our backdoor trickery anymore. Justin has finalised the integration of cameras connected to NVRs so that will be released shortly after beta testers are cool with it.
  10. It is local control although you have to make sure Control4 can route to it.
  11. Not sure what region you're in but Simon Peters is the Control4 Area Sales Manger that looks after London, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Essex. Reach out to him and he'll work hold you hand.
  12. This actually is a seperate problem which appeared at the end of last week when pushover's message ID's went over a certain limit and Control4 was converting it to scientific notation. We updated the driver so it should be ok now. The pushover portion is seperate and has nothing to do with outbound communications.
  13. Restart composer as broker is disconnected. Also one is the older driver and the new one which is written for eGauge Pro / Core will also work on the EG3000 but is written to grab registers rather than individual CTs like the old one did.
  14. The driver gets it from the Kodi API which is from the video file's aspect ratio itself. We can't magic up new functionality not available in the Kodi API so no we can't get the NFO info unfortuantely.
  15. The intent for Kodi has never changed. Just tested it now to be sure. org.xbmc.kodi#Intent;component=org.xbmc.kodi/.Splash;end Freezing isn't a good indication. The driver is pretty straight forward and pretty much 1-way for the most part. I would be concerned with general system stability. It sounds like you have something that is sucking up CPU at that one minute interval. I would get your dealer to investigate this. That is not related to the context button but i'm glad you got it sorted.
  16. Control4 have a driver for fieldserver which is a BACnet over IP gateway. Note that you will need to program the BMS system to be suitable for the driver's requirements. Search the Control4 knowledgebase for fieldserver and you'll find the driver and installation guide.
  17. Please use our Kodi mini app as that definately works (i use it everyday). We don't have long press yet. If you are using our Kodi Full driver (which has the IRUSB protocol built in) then you can map the context button.
  18. eGauge CT clamps are polarity sensitive. As such it will tell you if you are importing or exporting if you clamp the incoming mains. Note if you are three phase then set up a register with the sum of all three phases. The driver will import the data for all registers so you can program against them in Control4 to say super heat your hot water if you are exporting energy or to load shed if you are importing too much.
  19. Just tested again just now to be sure and it works fine. Some troubleshooting steps. Verify active driver licence Verify IFTTT Key matches what you've got in your IFTTT account Verify that the Event and Values match (note case sensitive) If all of that fails please submit a ticket and we'll look further.
  20. DRIVER REVAMP!! Hi guys, We just did a major driver revamp. This requires a full reinstallation of the driver. New features include Cover art view! Ability to browse movies by Movies, Collections, Genres, Actors, Directors and Ratings View movie information including synopsis, MPAA rating, genres, cast, director and more. Ability to favourite movies Separate player and server drivers. Upon movie selection the server driver will find the first unused player driver in the room and initiate playback on that player
  21. Hey sorry for the late reply. I don't frequent this forum as much as i used to due to high demand of our services. I think you reached out via our helpdesk and if so then we solved your problem. Thanks.
  22. Hey sorry for the late reply. I don't frequent this forum as much as i used to due to high demand of our services. In future its better to reach out through our support desk if you have any questions. How does a homeowner add a new lamp, move a lamp to a new location (e.g., rename, reassign room), etc? Only Control4 integrators (deemed smart home pro) can add new devices, move devices and add rooms into Control4 Is it possible to have a light group rather than individual lamps? E.G., a hallway with 4 LIFX lamps that should mostly be controlled together and not show up individually taking up screen space? You can install individual lights or install groups. Can the sliders for color and color temp be changed to use meaningful labels rather than 0-100? At this stage Control4 have not released an official color wheel. When they do we will implement this into our software. As an alternative your Control4 dealer can program in specific RGB values into experience buttons. Will the new LIFX v4 app and lamp firmware provide any better integration w/ Control4? The API has not changed as such no changes to the driver is required.
  23. We have tested and developed so many media player solutions. Kaleidescape is still by far the best if you can afford it. If you can't then my selection would be Zappiti next. Honestly if i were to start again (i'm a Kodi user currently) i would pick Zappiti over Kodi.
  24. They were at CEDIA expo last year so i'd assume so. We arn't far off. Just working with them with a few last bits to iron out some new things they added into firmware for us. There is a free driver that they have on their website that you can use now but ours will obviously be better since it will have library support and also playback state.
