    Here is the knowledgebase article for dealers. https://dealer.control4.com/dealer/knowledgebase/article/2314

    That will make for a poor experience.

    We have pushed this back for now as we have been inundated with contracts from manufacturers. Good news more free drivers from us. Bad news our own IP gets pushed back. It definately needs an update from our end and its something i'm hoping to do during my christmas holidays.

    At this stage it is not possible to implement this. Sorry.

    Kodi 18 mades some breaking changes to all HTTP based control. We have a driver in beta which is not due for release until Leia is released. For now we recommend using Kodi 17.

    Yep Jason reached out to us about this and it is on our road map.

    The driver allows you to select a movie via programming. The driver doesn't require any variables as it pulls the library as you program. You just select the movie from the list and off you go. See page 13 of the installation guide for details. Note Kaleidescape doesn't allow playback of 3rd party encoded video files. It does sound like you should probably utilise Kodi or something else. I don't have the exact answer for you so you should probably check out the kodi.tv forums.

    Double post. Answer here http://www.c4forums.com/topic/27983-control4-sky-q-compatibility/?do=findComment&comment=231987

    If you are talking about touchscreen navigators then Yes there are two pages The first page is your normal transport controls. The second page is a 10 key page with numbers 0-9, *, # and enter keys. I don't know off the top of my head if the number keys do SMS style searching when in a search bar.

    Yeelight doesn't use HTTP for communications. It is a direct socket connection. In regards to general driverworks url functions yes you can set a timeout which is used for failures. Having said that it is asynchronous so it doesn't really effect speed (unless you have some sort of queuing system that forces it to be synchronous). Anyway this is really going off topic. If you want to learn more about driverworks you should really post in the official control4 dealer forum under the driverworks section.

    Considering that the Yeelight driver maintains a persistent connection to the light setting a timeout will not effect performance at all (in fact setting timeouts only effect when director gives up upon non connectivity. If you're already connected it makes no difference - if you want to speed up drivers then its all based on optimisation of messaging and queues which we are pretty good at).
  12. alanchow
    This is not relevant since you install seperate instances of the driver per light.
  13. alanchow
    Yeelights are individual IP devices. We connect to each one and then we send each one a command. There is no method for us to broadcast a command out to multiple Yeelights as thats just not the way the device is designed. You may be able to program every single one to trigger on the same event and it may sync up but i can't guarantee it as it will be based on your controller speed and network latency.
  14. alanchow
    You can install multiple instances of the driver. All of our drivers are site licences which means you only need a single licence for as many instances in the same system.

    The driver will work for all of the IntesisBox models listed in the link and only those models. The IntesisBox models work for a variety of HVAC systems so please make sure your HVAC system is supported by that specific IntesisBox model by looking at the compatibility list or if in doubt contacting the IntesisBox support team or your local distributor. https://www.intesisbox.com/en/wifi/gateways/
  16. alanchow
    These are all the models that our driver support https://www.intesisbox.com/en/wifi/gateways/
  17. alanchow
    IntesisBox can be purchased from any North American distributor https://www.intesisbox.com/en/novelties-intesis-software-announces-its-exciting-new-partnerships-with-north-american-distributors/
  18. alanchow
    IntesisHome products are not compatible with our IntesisBox driver. The only models compatible are listed in the link below. https://www.intesisbox.com/en/wifi/gateways/ You can purchase and install a FJ-RC-WMP-1 product as a replacement for compatibility.
  19. alanchow
    If you don't have Synopsis then it sounds like you're on an old version of the driver.
  20. alanchow
    Yeah we made a driver for yeelight. https://www.chowmainsoft.com/yeelight-control4 Driver auto discovers bulbs and auto configures itself to hide the modes it doesn't use. Eg white only bulbs hide the color and temperatures, temperature only ones hide color, etc. Full two way feedback with instantaneous response, self healing, etc. Made it stupidly cheap as well so it'll be a no brainer to invest in the driver (way cheaper than buying a philips hue bridge + bulbs even with the driver licence!)

    Yeelight have an open API which is why we can do so much with it in comparison to other products. It is 240v and 110v so please make sure you purchase the right one. They have strips, bulbs, lamps and ceiling lights. I personally have a RGB strip, RGBW bulb and mono bulb. All dimmable. Bulbs prices start at just above $10 USD https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100-Original-Xiaomi-Mi-Smart-LED-Bulb-Yeelight-Wifi-Remote-Control-Adjustable-Brightness-Eyecare-Light-Smart/32736219908.html?src=google&albslr=221710193&isdl=y&aff_short_key=UneMJZVf&source={ifdyn:dyn}{ifpla:pla}{ifdbm:DBM&albch=DID}&src=google&albch=shopping&acnt=494-037-6276&isdl=y&albcp=1001731409&albag=50593269078&slnk=&trgt=304655778945&plac=&crea=en32736219908&netw=g&device=c&mtctp=&aff_platform=google&gclid=CjwKCAjwspHaBRBFEiwA0eM3kQSRTqxKCXCXzIA7UWicyI7IlhQQIyjhmNBFXTuTSH5YapAY1XOM5BoC42kQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

    I couldn't see a method of accessing the scenes. If you want something that does color fades and that sort of stuff you should check out Yeelight. You can do some pretty impressive stuff using that hardware + its stupidly cheap.
  23. alanchow
    Like any device in Control4 you can hide the TP-Link devices in Navigator and utilise programming in the background. Note that the strobe effect you want has to be programmed in manually via a macro if you want it to change between two colors indefinately until cancelled. If you do not have Composer Home Edition or are comfortable with creating programming macros i suggest contacting your dealer to get them to do this for you.
  24. alanchow
    We will do some investigating to see what is going on. most probable cause is that there is new android intents for them
  25. alanchow
    Please get your dealer to submit a ticket to our help desk and we will investigate. We will probably ask for remote access to your system so we can see what’s going on.
