    UPDATE This driver suite now supports the following models. HS220 Inwall Dimmer - MSRP $49.99 Also improved feedback on HS107 and HS300 models (using direct communications rather than broadcast communications). Should fix problems on certain networks that don't like to route broadcast traffic.

    Kodi 18 broke HTTP control over the driver. We issued an update to the driver to resolve this issue. We did not force a push to all sites as some older systems won't work with the new version. If you set the driver to auto-update then you will be updated to the latest version which will work fine. Kodi reports back aspect ratio based on the ratio detected in the movie within the first few seconds of playback. I don't use makemkv so i can't comment but i would recommend reaching out via the kodi forums or makemkv forums for additional assistance.

    The driver isn't designed to ever update the forecast or conditions. It will only do it if the command 'Get Forecast" and 'Get Current' is executed via programming. Also note that 'Get Current Conditions' will fire and event. You should be programming your conditional logic under the 'Forecast Received' or the 'Current Weather Received' events.

    The driver is only designed to update the name when the connection is bound.

    Sorry have been away on business in europe. Richard resolved this whilst i was away. In future it is best to reach out to our support team as forums is not always monitored (by anyone but me to be honest).
  6. alanchow
    Yes this was updated.
  7. alanchow
    It has been updated. We didn’t force an update out to the sites as some are in older versions. Your dealer can push this update out remotely alternatively if you have composer home edition you can set the driver to auto update and that will also work

    why don't you update to triad one's? They are the direct replacement for the speaker point.

    Chowmain releases major update to the FREE VSSL A.6 driver for Control4. Now supports metadata for Google Cast, Spotify Connect and Apple Airplay. Also has the added ability to add zones to existing streams. For those of you who have not heard of the VSSL A.6 before it is a matrixed multichannel amplifier which allows you to switch 8 x stereo sources to 6 amplified zones. It has 7 x streaming sources built in where you can send independant streams of Google Cast, Spotify Connect or Apple Airplay. It also allows you to connect two of these zones via the bus outputs to a 3rd party receiver or amplifier to pass through audio. It is a really nice piece of hardware and its now even better with the new features we have added to the driver. Check out the link below for more information about the free driver. https://www.chowmainsoft.com/vssl-a6-driver-for-control4

    I actually ordered a HS220 from amazon along with a step down transformer. The HS220 is different from the LB range so had to develop a new driver specific to that. It is currently in beta and will be released once i do some more changes to the other TP-Link drivers. At this stage it is scheduled for a March release as i will be away in europe / ISE for a while starting next week.

    I appreciate the enthusiasm and the ideas. Driver will be released when we're ready for release and at this stage we arn't ready.

    Chowmain -LIFX Wifi Lighting driver LIFX (pronounced Life-X) is a line of energy-efficient, multi-color, Wi-Fi enabled LED lighting products that can be controlled via a Wi-Fi equipped device such as a smartphone or smartwatch. The LIFX driver for Control4 allows for two way control and feedback of all LIFX products including bulbs, strips, beams, tiles and more. With our new Control4 OS 3.3 V3 driver, Chowmain's driver now uses local connections, supports ColorWheel and white temperature selector and includes our one-touch setup in agent. Features Direct Control using Network (V3 only. V2/V1 requires cloud) Two way control and feedback. Automatic Detection of Devices Brightness control Color Temperature control Color control One Touch Install and Configuration of lights (V3 only / OS3.3+ Required) ColorWheel Support (V2/V3 Driver Only / OS3.3+ required) Graphical White Temperature Selection (V2/V3 Driver Only / OS3.3+ Required) Infrared Light Brightness Control (V3 Driver Only / OS3.3+ Required) HEV disinfection support (V3 Driver Only / OS3.3+ Required) FAQ What is the difference between V3 and our V2 driver? As per popular request, V3 has been completely rewritten from the ground up, to support control via LAN instead of relying on LIFX's cloud servers. Faster performance. Latency of commands is reduced from seconds to milliseconds More reliable communication with the ability to resend unacknowledged commands Infrared light brightness support via command (compatible hardware required) HEV disinfection support to kill bacteria and sanitise surfaces (compatible hardware required) Modern Diagnostics / Troubleshooting infrastructure Significantly faster deployment. New AutoSetup system will automatically install drivers for devices, and Personal Access Token is no longer required. Similar to V2, V3 also supports the new ColorWheel and white temperature selector (requires OS 3.3 or later) Please note: Because of the breadth of the LIFX changes, LIFX V3 is not compatible with LIFX V2/V1, and it is strongly recommended to replace all old drivers Due to deficiencies in the LIFX Group LAN/UDP protocol, native LIFX groups are not supported. Advanced Lighting scenes may be used as an alternative (and native C4 scenes are expected to be implemented in the future) What is the difference between the V2 driver and the depreciated group and light drivers LIFX V2 Driver requires OS3.3+ to operate correctly and is recommended for both current and future installations Native ColorWheel Support Native Color Tempearature Support Improved Color Scene support Support for both LIFX Groups and individual LIFX Lights. Separate drivers are no longer required. Why is this better than other RGB solutions? This is an extremely affordable solution which does not require an additional hub to operate. We have control over color, saturation, temperature, brightness. Two way control / feedback. If the customer uses the original application Control4 gets the changes Where can I purchase this product from? LIFX can be purchased from various retailers such as Best Buy and Amazon. https://www.lifx.com/ What hardware will this work on? This will work on all LIFX models.

    Lots of stuff please see first post for feature list with a few screenshots
  17. alanchow
    Never seen this issue before but I assume that the client just needs rediscovering.
  18. alanchow
    You can reach out to me via PM on the official dealer forum with your email

    Not sure if i mentioned it in this post or another post but Kodi Full's v18 compatible driver is in beta. It won't be released until Kodi v18 Leia is released (it is currently in RC2).
  20. alanchow
    It is on our to-do list. At this stage we have a few contracts we need to complete first before we get to this.

    Our driver may also work with the HS220 (dimmer version) but honestly nobody has tested it. If it would work it would be using the LB driver.
  22. alanchow
    The driver is compatible with these UK TP-Link smart home devices (which is all plugs and bulbs available in the UK) LB100 LB110 LB120 LB130 HS100 HS110 The driver allows for ON and OFF commands. Just be mindful that if you power cycle something network related that connects Control4 to the HS300 (ie switch or access point) it won't turn it back on. If the modem is not in that routing path then it should be ok in theory. Note this is nothing to do with the driver.
  23. alanchow
    UPDATE This driver suite now supports the following models. HS107 Dual Outlet - MSRP $39.99 HS300 Power Strip with energy monitoring - MSRP $79.99 I am exceptionally fond of the HS300 power strip as they are so versitile. It is bang for buck in comparison to other similar solutions. Throw it behind a TV or inside a rack and you get 6 controllable outlets with energy monitoring. The energy monitoring can be programmed with in control4 to automatically select a source or turn off a room. This is great for non controllable devices such as playstations and xboxes where you would pick up the original gaming controller and have Control4 setup the room automatically.

    Unfortunately the channel numbers are automatically generated from the data upon every poll (10 minutes). At this stage I am not sure if we can get a Vodafone Channels driver. Sorry
