    Thanks for the feedback guys. Glad you guys enjoy it. For those who haven't tried it here's an article written by CE Pro Europe on it. http://ce-pro.eu/2017/03/chowmain-sky-ip-driver-control4-sky/amp/

    Maybe when we do the Full version. For now i recommend using a service like Domotz where you can monitor the uptime of a device. It can even monitor if a port is open or closed and based upon this automatically power cycle the device using a wemo.

    Chowmain - Sky+HD / SkyQ / Sky Q Mini for Control4 Sky is a British satellite broadcast service provider. Chowmain has developed an IP based driver that provides control over UK based Sky set top boxes. This IP driver eliminates the need to attach infra red emitters to the set top box and is compatible with the Sky+ HD, Sky Q and Sky Q mini boxes. On top of IP control the driver also provides automatic channel media list updates for Control4. This ensures that the channel listing on Control4's user interface is always upto date with the latest channels for that particular region. Features No more IR buds 3-10 times faster than IR control Channel selection from navigator Automatic Channel list update - Always have upto date channels on your Control4 navigator. Never be effected by channel number changes or when Sky adds or removes a channel again. Select your region and have all the Sky channels automatically import periodically for your area. Select your period (Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Fortnightly, Monthly) or you can also manually update via programming action (tie it to a custom button or experience button). FAQ Can you give us some examples of how we could use this driver?? No more IR buds means no more IR bleeding and accidentally bud knocks. Speed up control over your customer's sky set top box. Your customer's sky media list will always be upto date with all the channels for their particular region. What hardware will this work on? This will work on any Control4 controller running OS 2.6 or later and with the following sky boxes. Sky+ HD Sky Q Sky Q Silver Sky Q Mini Why do you only support OS 2.6 and above?

    Funny you should ask. We just updated it for the switch. Its online now.
  5. alanchow
    We set that variable to true when we see candle lighting and set it to false when we see havdalah.
  6. alanchow
    There is a variable for the holiday name. Having said that from my research the Yom Tov's will execute the Candle Lighting and Havdalah events as well will in turn will change the IS_SHABBAT variable to true.

    Chowmain - Hebcal Jewish Calendar driver for Control4 Many Jewish people who strictly observe Shabbat refrain from what turning electricity on or off during this period. They may also refrain from making adjustments to the intensity of electrical appliances. The Chowmain Hebcal driver for Control4 imports data from Hebcal.com. This driver helps by automating detection of Jewish holidays and your standard Shabbat (observed from a few minutes before sunset on Friday evening until the appearance of three stars in the sky on Saturday night). By firing these events it assists with notification of Candle lighting (18 minutes before sundown) and Havdalah (after the appearance of three stars in the sky) along with the automation of electronic devices during this period. Features Automatic detection the Control4 projects latitude, longitude and timezone information for automatic information gathering. Automatic daily update of information from Hebcal.com Automatic update of information from Hebcal.com when the system boots up. Variables for IS_HOLIDAY – Is there a holiday today (checks once at midnight every night) HOLIDAY_NAME – The title of the holiday today HOLIDAY_MEMO – The description of the holiday today IS_SHABBAT – Will fire when candle lighting starts and finish when Havdalah starts (including holidays not just Friday/Saturday). Events for Candle Lighting (property to execute event x minutes prior) Havdalah (property to execute event x minutes prior) Holiday Start – Fires at midnight of the day when there is a holiday Holiday Finish – Fires at midnight the day after the holiday finishes. FAQ Can you give us some examples of how we could use this driver?? Automate the electronics in the home so that no touch is required during special Jewish holidays and Shabbat. Combine with our Advanced Announcments driver for Control4 to announce what holiday it is through the speakers. Why do you only support OS 2.6 and above?

    I haven't seen that error before:m. Is your Apple TV logged into the same Plex account? If not then we will have to look into it further. Please submit a ticket with driver logs capturing the problem and a description of the problem.
  10. alanchow
    the driver has contact inputs and relay outputs. I'm not sure how you generator works but if it is compatible with those IO's then it will work.

    UPDATE: A NEW DRIVER HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE NOTIFICATION SUITE!! Introducing the pushsafer notification service.

It also provides built in uploading of camera snapshots directly to the pushsafer service for viewing on your IOS, Android, Windows 10 devices. http://www.chowmain.co.nz/pushsafer-driver

    I asked Houselogix to look up Advance Electronics Winnipeg (advance.mb.ca) and out of the two registered accounts they own only one has ever submittted a single ticket (Trevor did) and that was not in relation to Plex (it was for Wemo). Tickets are used for tracking and in the end will not help you. Basically our helpdesk will need to work with your dealer to determine what the problem is and will require your dealer to provide them with detailed information about the problem and logs capturing the problem for diagnosis. Get your dealer to submit this information via the open support ticket feature on their website. https://www.houselogix.com/shop/plex-full#openModal

    You probably mean This is actually a typo. Copied and pasted the paragraph from our Kodi Full documentation. It an provide two way feedback about the player state only (eg if it is playing, paused or stopped). Will remote it from documentation when i get back to office in 9 days.
  14. alanchow
    I can chase it up with Houselogix but you need to provide me with more details (like who your dealer is). Usually a dealer would open a support ticket via the drivers product page and receive a ticket number when he submits. Eg https://www.houselogix.com/shop/plex-full#openModal Once we have got in contact with your dealer we can go through some troubleshooting steps with them to determine where the problem lies.

    You need to set the driver's debug property to log. Then grab the file from \\ipofdirector\log\
  16. alanchow
    Can you get me a copy of the driver's debug logs capturing this problem.. I don't have access to a BDP-10X player so can't test this out.
  17. alanchow
    I'll have a look into it.
  18. alanchow
    The pre amp should be hidden as it serves no purpose in navigator
  19. alanchow
    Although this is true for the main driver. The mini drivers will still need to be installed manually though.
  20. alanchow
    Decided to give it a big update to include all the good ideas people are pouring in. Update Added digital optical and digital coax Added Extended OSD to actions Added mini drivers with icons Added Extended OSD to customisable commands
  21. alanchow
    This has now been added in and is now updated.
  22. alanchow
    I'll review the driver when I get back to work tomorrow. What does INH do and for what model oppo?
  23. alanchow
    You cannot do long presses for certain buttons on Control4. You will need to map the function to another button.
  24. alanchow
    No we decided not to implement these mini apps as Oppo discontinued support for them. You can still launch it programmatically though.
  25. alanchow
    I have mapped all the intuitive buttons to the respected buttons and the non intuitive buttons can be mapped to various keys through the drivers properties. There were a few long press functions in there as well.
