  1. Some people were complaining about how the fan comes up under lighting. Unfortunately this is a Control4 problem which we can't resolve. Instead what we have done is create a experience button which allows you to select any fan proxy and allow for 3 speed fan control with feedback. It will auto map the speeds based on capabilties of the fan proxy driver selected. Mapping will be lowest (1), highest (depending on capabilities) and will the following math for the medium speed (highest / 2 rounded up). It is a free driver and is bundled with this driver.

  5. Please reach out to our support desk either via phone or ticket and we will assist with troubleshooting. Currently our driver only supports direct camera connection. Cameras that are connected to the NVR are on a different network. As such they are not currently supported. We are in the process of integrating the NVR along with cameras through the NVR. This will arrive early in the new year.
  6. You need to get a proper driver written as the generic tcp driver wasnt designed to do what you want to do.
  7. Version #20191223 - 23-DEC-2019 Improved rediscovery of light bulbs if no response. Fixed issue with HS110(US). For some reason US versions utilise watts (POWER) where international is Milliwatts (POWER_MW)
  8. I tested my HS110 here again and it works. Could be a difference between AU and US versions of the outlet. Will order a US one from amazon and confirm.
  9. For those wondering why this has been removed it is due to compliance with California’s loT Security Law SB327
  10. That is correct. The driver downloads the snapshot and sends it to Control4 for it to forward to your phone. As mentioned Control4 requires 4sight for remote access to the home and for push notifications. If you do not have a 4sight subcription you will need to get this added to your system for it to work.
  11. This requires 4sight. If you can remotely access Control4 then it will work.
  12. We don't have a DVR but i'm assuming its much the same as the NVR. Much of the features we have implemented in the camera will be on the NVR (though through a different API).
  13. Pushed an update out. Changelog for the past week below Version #20191216 - 16-DEC-2019 Fixed energy for HS110 on new protocol. Fixed energy for HS300 due to incorrect resetting of min/max readings. Fixed discovery of HS220 Fixed toggle for HS220 Fixed toggle for Bulbs Version #20191213 - 13-DEC-2019 Fixed energy variables for HS300 Updated HS220 to new protocol that the other drivers use. Added HS200 driver so its easier to program rather than adding in HS1XX driver with the outlet light driver. Added property to enable/disable auto hiding of proxies for light bulbs Fixed issue affecting feedback introduced by version 20191211 for bulb drivers Fixed advanced lighting scenes for HS220 not dimming correctly. Version #20191211 - 11-DEC-2019 Updated HS1XX and Bulb driver to new protocol that the other drivers use.
  14. Sounds like there is big demand for various cameras. We will see what we can do to fill the voids. we have relationships with all the major camera manufacturers and a lot of them are already either contracting us to develop drivers or giving us equipment so we can develop licences drivers.
  15. This one is done by Justin. He is the one handling all camera integration at Chowmain. Never the less he has done a fantastic job at making this and we will be continuously adding to this (with the next stage being NVR support).
  16. Chowmain - Ultimate Hikvision Driver for Control4! Hikvision, who is a popular surveillance manufacturer, produce a range of products for both residential and commercial applications. As one of our top requested drivers we felt that we needed to create the ultimate Hikvision driver for Control4. This driver pushes the integration of Hikvision by offering integration to NVR/DVRs, IP Cameras and Doorstation Intercoms which allows integrators to push the boundaries of security and home automation. This means that surveillance is no longer just for security but can also be used to trigger motion-based programming like lighting. Features Doorstation Intercom Integration to Control4's Communication Agent / SIP Server. Providing the ability to call Control4 touchscreens and mobile devices (4sight required) for both video and audio communications. The Hikvision DS-KV8xx3-WME1 range of door stations can be configured automatically by the driver to work with Control4 for convenient set up and configuration Ability to set Control4's Intercom Custom Button actions Ability to trigger electronic locks (output 1 & 2) Ability to use the door station as a regular IP camera stream Automatic push notifications with snapshot for motion and/or call button press (requires 4sight) Through Hikvision's alert stream technology, our driver can provide the following real time notifications for integrators to program against: Video motion detection alerts Call button press Line busy (no answer) Call Answered Alarm 1 - 4 Triggered (traditionally 1 & 2 are used for door state closed, 3 & 4 is used for exit button pushed but can be used for other programming) NVR / DVR Remote control simulation / Hikvision onscreen control over IP for I series NVR and K series DVR (via customised firmware) IP Cameras Control4 OS 3.0 Support Supports PTZ & Non PTZ Cameras (through NVRs or direct) View live camera stream on Control4 interface PTZ control (Up, Down, Left, Right, Preset, Zoom) Control4 Push Notification Snapshot Support (push notification photos to mobile phones) Live Events Auto-sensing and re-connection of alert stream loss Connect to cameras that are behind a Hikvision NVR Auto import of events including VMD (video motion detection) Tamper Detection Disk Full Disk Error Line Motion Field Motion Video Mismatch Region Entrance Region Exiting Unattended Baggage Attended Baggage Licence Plate Detection (for supported cameras) Ability to bind events to contact drivers in Control4 (eg motion sensor driver) Licence Plate Number Variable (for supported cameras) Programming commands Day Night Mode Goto Preset Auto Flip Back to origin One touch patrol Reboot camera Auto Setup of Camera You can set camera resolution configuration for best performance for Control4 via a single button press from Composer You can set the current position as either a preset or home from Composer FAQ What about Hikvisions NVR and DVR range? The driver supports cameras connected to the rear of NVRs for live view of cameras along with PTZ and events. It also supports onscreen navigation for certain NVR and DVR products.. The following models provide addtional onscreen navigation via a customised firmware developed by Hikvision in partnership with us. TurboHD DVR - 72xxHUHI-K2 series Network Video Recorders - 76/77/96xx I Series NVR What doorstation models are compatible? The following models are compatible and require a customised firmware from Hikvision. These firmwares are available via the US or AU websites linked at the bottom of this page. DS-KV8113-WME1 DS-KV8413-WME1 DS-KV8213-WME1 What cool things can we do with this driver? Cameras The driver's Auto setup functionality makes configuration of the cameras quick and easy. This driver provides the ability to attach snapshots to Control4 Push Notifications (4sight required). Tie this in with the camera's motion events and your customer can get notified (with an image) if the camera detections motion. This camera provides live feedback of events which is useful if you want to tie in lighting to motion and other events. Certain cameras have the ability to detect licence plates. These cameras provide events in Control4 along with variables on the detected plate number. Use it to open gates and garage doors automatically! NVRs / DVRs View the Hikvision NVR and DVR onscreen display via its HDMI output and control it via IP. This is compatible with I series NVR and K series DVR products using a customised firmware that Hikvision developed for us. Doorstation Intercoms Talk to people at your front door from any T3,T4 or iOS / Android mobile phone at home or remotely (requires 4sight). Playback doorbell sounds across all speakers in the home when the call button is pushed Automated porch/pathway lighting when motion is detected along Send push notifications with image snapshot on motion and/or doorbell push What products will this work for? This will work with Hikvisions range of IP cameras, DVRs and NVRs as well as select doorstations. Some manufacturers OEM Hikvisions cameras and rebadge them as their own so it will also work with those cameras. Please test prior to licence purchase. How do I find out more information about the driver? Please see the links below for more information about the driver. US Hikvision site Australian Hikvision site Chowmain Website
  17. @time2jet used to work for a dealer but has since left the dealership. No need to be snarky. I want to make some corrections to this statement. Firstly I was never upset. I pointed you at the correct support channel when you emailed me a second time after a few days after an initial email I did not respond to due to backlog. We have multiple support tiers and staff with driverCentral covering level 1 support and multiple people in the Chowmain team covering level 2 and 3. i understand it can be frustrating to not get a response but the attitude in your emails doesn’t make it any faster (I get about 300-500 emails a week directly to me personally). The question you asked was why does the SR-260 send a toggle command when you select a light where you want selection to specifically turn the light to a specific state. Our answer was that all lights do a toggle on selection of the light and if you wanted a discrete state you needed to press a number button (ie 0 for 0%, 1 for 10%, 2 for 20% and so on). This effects all lighting in Control4 (Including hue though I’m not sure how that is at all related to this thread) and is not something we have control over. If this is not acceptable the Neeo remote has a nicer interface for control over lights on their touch screen display. These issues introduced by the new firmware released in the past few days has nothing to do with the above. Like all issues we take them seriously and will work through them. This may take some time so please be patient. This forum is only monitored by me myself from Chowmain so support speeds via the forum are no where near as fast nor at the level should you go through official methods. So please as discussed if you want support submit a ticket, call our office or driverCentrals offices.
  18. I just tested again to be sure that its working. LB bulbs we have here are working fine (we have three - one per type). It is poll based so it does take time (depends on your poll rate). The new protocol is UDP rather than TCP and UDP is not as reliable for getting data back. I would check your network to make sure that UDP packets are being routed correctly.
  19. Have replicated the problem and have fixed it. Also realised that i did not update the HS220 driver to the new protocol as well. Updated and tested that as well. Also added HS200 as a seperate driver rather than using the HS1XX driver + outlet light driver for easier programming and also a few other tidbits that have been reported / asked for. Pushed out the update to all systems.
  20. Let me try to replicate it. The LB driver was verified working via a few beta testers. I'll schedule some time tomorrow to test it out more on our test bench.
  21. TP-Link pushed out a control breaking firmware over the weekend. We are happy to say that we have updated the drivers to resolve issues and have pushed it out to all sites. As such it should be invisible to the majority of people. Note this should only effect people using the TP-Link HS1XX driver and the TP-Link Light Bulb driver.
  22. The recording functionality was blocked by a few of the popular web browsers and as such recording off of your mobile device stopped working. So yes that is correct. announcements in general still work just fine.
  23. As per email unfortunately there is no method for us to programatically do this.
