  1. FREE- Nexus 21 Apex Motorized TV Wall Mount Driver Chowmain launches FREE Nexus 21 Apex Motorised TV Wall Mount Driver for Control4. Motorized mounts of the past would often break, costing professionals time and money. Apex was mechanically designed with “Smart Drive” technology, which prevents damage when it’s moved manually. “Smart Drive” renders Apex actively aware of its position, allowing it to recover from unexpected changes to its path and instantly release for safety when encountering resistance. Apex is just as innovative in form as it is in function. It’s the first motorized wall mount ever created that fits completely inside the wall, with an ultra-thin installation profile of just 3/4″. The Apex Wall TV Wall Mount Driver for Control4 provides bi-directional IP control and feedback. The feature i am most impressed with is the ability to get instant feedback on when it reaches memory positions. Imagine being able to change room configurations (speakers, lighting, etc) when a TV is set to point towards the kitchen or living room! Features IP control and feedback Optional IR control Auto discovery Commands - EXTEND, RETRACT, LEFT, RIGHT, STOP, HOME, MEMORY POSITION 1, MEMORY POSITION 2, MEMORY POSITION 3 Feedback from any user interface (IR remote, web interface, Control4) including Commands issued - EXTEND, RETRACT, LEFT, RIGHT, STOP, HOME + Positions reached - HOME, MEMORY POSITION 1, MEMORY POSITION 2, MEMORY POSITION 3 FAQ Why is this product exciting? This product is the first IP controlled TV wall mount with feedback! Can you give us some examples of how we could use this driver? Offer fine tuned two-way control from the MSP driver on any navigator Automate the wallmount based on selection of rooms (use the same TV in living and kitchen spaces for example with different audio endpoints) Utilise event feedback to fine tune automation to when the wall mount reaches memory positions. How do I buy the driver? This driver is FREE as it was sponsored by Nexus 21 How do I find out more information about the driver? Please see the links below for more information about the driver.

  2. Checked this and confirmed that its still working. I would check your local network, camera ip address changes, etc.
  3. Chowmain - Polyaire Airtouch4 HVAC Driver! Polyaire manufacture Airtouch4, the new standard in Smart Air Conditioning. AirTouch can replace your air conditioner's wall controller and lets you control your set point temperature, turn on or off different air conditioning zones, manage airflow and monitor temperatures throughout your house.

Chowmain Website Installation Guide How do I buy the driver? This driver can be purchased from our distributor driverCentral.

Support Do you provide trial licences? All Chowmain drivers for Control4 come with a 7 day trial.
  4. That is true. Once licensing is implemented you can remove it from the internet. dealer usually do this at their office and then take it to site. Happens a lot for yachts and restricted government offices.
  5. As long as it is within the same network then yes it will work.
  6. We also have integrated quite a few 3rd party solutions as well. These are the few that i recommend (not a complete list) TP-Link HS103 Mini Smart Plug ($14.60 USD) Product Link - https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Compatible-Occupies-Wall-Light-Electronic-Component-switches/dp/B07KYVS85J/ Driver Link - https://www.chowmainsoft.com/tplink-control4 TP-Link HS300 6 Way Smart Power Strip ($63.26 USD) - Alan's Pick Product Link - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G95FFN3 Driver Link - https://www.chowmainsoft.com/tplink-control4 TP-Link KP200 In-wall dual outlet ($34.51 USD) - Alan's Pick Product Link - https://www.amazon.com/Kasa-Smart-Outlet-Wall-TP-Link/dp/B07N3CK3MM/ Driver Link - https://www.chowmainsoft.com/tplink-control4 Belkin Wemo Mini Smart Plug ($23.62 USD) Product Link - https://www.amazon.com/Smart-Enabled-Google-Assistant-HomeKit/dp/B01NBI0A6R/ Driver Link - https://www.chowmainsoft.com/belkin-wemo
  7. You'll need to give us remote access so we can troubleshoot. Please submit a ticket to driverCentral and we will assist. A revamp of the entire driver is on the roadmap so we can get cover art view and favoriting but for now we are a bit snowed under with contracts so its not going to happen for a while.
  8. Minka fans are now supported by our driver with full bi-directional control. More smart by bond manufacturers to come and will be fully supported by our driver. Also if you don't have a minka fan you can retrofit using the Bond fan speed controller. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Universal-Smart-Wi-Fi-4-Speed-Ceiling-Fan-Remote-99434/311264804
  9. Bond just informed me they have this $60 USD module that is a fan controller. Adds bi-directional multispeed fan control over existing fans with dimmable lighting. This is the module we used to develop the smart by bond potion of the driver. Good alternative for the Control4 Fan Speed Controller.
  10. Bond guys sent me a Smart By Bond test bench kit. So now the driver has been updated to support any fans that have 'Smart By Bond' built in. Version #20191011 - 11-OCT-2019 Added support for dimmable lighting (mainly found on smart by bond fans). Note if you already have one of these then you will need to press the clear bindings button in the master driver so it will recreate the bindings.
  11. There is a brand new driver specific for dimmers. So there is the generic driver which is used for on/off devices and the light dimmer driver.
  12. Depends on what is wrong with them. i would put batteries in each and see if the backlight works behind the keys. If they do then they should work fine and the display may be faulty. The only thing you can really do is take the display out and put them in another board. other than that the only other thing that may be wrong that is fixable is that it is on embernet rather than zigbee pro.
  13. The Bond guys say that it doesn't have any delay. Tried replicating this on our system here and i can't seem to replicate it. On other news we have a new update that allows all commands to be fired in via the Bridge Driver's programming actions. This means that if Bond adds in future product types and/or functionality the driver will support arbitary firing of these commands. You can then tie it into experience buttons, custom buttons, keypad button presses and other events. DRIVER UPDATE Version #20191007 - 07-OCT-2019 Added the ability to fire any command via the Bridge Driver's programming device actions in the programming tab. Version #20190919 - 19-SEP-2019 Fixed stop command for shades (turns out stop isn't used for stopping shades but stopping sending signals) Resolved issues where ipv4 address is not returned in mdns packet (bandaid applied which grabs ipv4 address from connecting client)
  14. Thanks for the feedback. We have had a few dealers run into a similar issue. The driver grabs a json blob from the Bond Bridge so the only thing i can think of is that it takes some time for the devices to become available via the API. All dealers who encountered this problem eventually got all devices after leaving it for a bit.
  15. @Shivam Paw created a free BBC driver which he literally released a day ago. See link below.
  16. This is fast becoming one of our most popular drivers. On this forum i know that @msgreenf has used it. Apart from that all i know are that they are 50 systems installed in the past 3 weeks with the driver.
  17. Yep. AJ, Kyle and Adam and the guys at driverCentral are awesome at what they do.
  18. At this stage there is no improvements. There is only one dedicated Ring driver made by Blackwire (Seth did a fantastic job on it). You can also utilise our IFTTT Maker driver for Ring as well (which is what i'm doing for my home). Both of which offer the doorbell detection and motion detection.
  19. Sounds like you're confusing power distribution for control. Somfy has their ILT range and RTS range of motors. If you are using the RTS range of motors the most affordable and easy to retrofit solution would be to utilise Wifi Bond Bridge for control with the hardware MSRP pricing at $99.99 (not including driver cost) http://chowmainsoft.com/bond-control4
  20. I’ve been throwing away HC200s and HC300s. That’s how relevant they are
  21. Yeah i went a bit nuts in best buy. Pretty much all models currently available for purchase work now.
  22. Updated Version Major update to support additional wemo models with the noteworthy one being the dimmer. Belkin Wemo Switch (Model Number F7C027) Belkin Wemo Mini (F7C063) Belkin Wemo Insight Switch (Model Number F7C029) Belkin Wemo Light Switch (F7C030) Belkin Wemo Light Switch (WLS040) Belkin Wemo Wi-Fi Smart Dimmer (F7C059)
