    Important update on my prior post.
    The driver developer reached out to me, and relentlessly worked to identify the issues that were causing the problems and correct them. The delay in initial responsiveness to my request for help was due to a major time difference.
    I’m happy to report that everything is now working flawlessly. The varietas driver is great, but this driver has more versatility for sure. In addition to the devices I had added to Homekit with the varietas driver, I am now able to also add cameras and other third party drivers much easier using the Homebridge UI directly in composer without any issues. I’ve also made some suggestions on additional features I think would make this driver even better, which will hopefully be implemented in a future update.
    Furthermore and perhaps most importantly, I’m confident that if any issues pop up in the future due to iOS or c4 updates, they will be addressed immediately. 
    For anyone that is on the fence about this driver or who is looking for a versatile way to integrate c4 devices into Homekit, I definitely recommend the driver.
    Well done!

    Thank you for reporting this.
    We have identified the bug and we have already fixed it.
    Doing some batch test before making it live.

    This driver is great. I tested Amazon Alexa voice commands before but it was supper slow. Maybe because we are based in Asia and it uses the cloud to execute the commands. 

    Now using this Driver with Homebridge voice commands via Siri are supper snappy.
    Very Awesome 💪

    There's another free way too, this one's nicely packaged, and specifically documented.

    I was able to get this working in the opposite direction with Homebridge, but had to use an Apple TV Remote plugin. (I used one from @kurtwarwick) 
    Just use Homekit automation with a Control4 virtual switch or relay to kick it off.  I'm just trying to make it more attractive on the C4 Neeo and app now.

    I'd love to see this working in the opposite direction.....  So I can create a Netflix Icon in composer, that runs the Apple Shortcut that calls netflix on the ATV..... or other programmed shortcuts.  Otherwise I assume this has a lot of features of using Apple Home with homebridge.

    This method sends a text string to the directors URL on the local network.
    Which then does what ever programming in composer is associated to said string.
    So local network only.
    It's useful for Siri triggers, on say an Apple Watch, or a quick set of buttons on your phone, rather than launching the Control4 app.
    I'm home, goodbye, outsides on, that sort of thing.
    But you have to setup everything you want it to do.
    Homekit would allow remote, and would pull in devices from Control4, providing more functionality.
    There's a different driver, and extra requirements, for setting all that up. (a homekit server and a bridging device)

    Why this Driver?
    Apple's Siri Shortcuts are designed to speed up actions you take in apps and let you add those actions to Siri. There's also a dedicated Shortcuts app, so you can create and manage multiple actions across multiple apps.
    The Shortcuts app has an Options to fire any URL and using this we can fire any commands to control4 system.
    This is a simplest and easy way to make Control4 triggers to available on iPhone screen as well through Siri.
    Lighting Fast Response.
    Where can we use this driver?
    You can create a Bunch of shortcut to replicate a Control4 Keypad on iPhone screen. It will act as an Virtual Keypad. Make a Shortcut for Light,Curtain or AC that you use Everyday so it will be available on your figure tip whenever you want. A shortcut to that tells you which Door/Window is open in your House. A shortcut for a Light so when you enter in room you just say "Hey Siri, Lights" and based on Light status it will Turn ON or OFF the light for you. More fun - Go to your iPhone's settings> Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap > Double Tap. Here Select your favorite shortcut and fire it with Double Tap on back of your iPhone. There are Endless Possibilities.

    Do more with Apple Shortcuts!

    We have just developed an simple shortcut that toggles a Light

    Just say "Hey Siri, Lights" and it will turn on the light if its OFF and vice versa

    It’s a great driver, it’s taking care of the programing part by automatically publish and pushes the JSON config to HomeKit driver, making it very easy for dealers to partially integrate C4 to HomeKit.
    HomeKit app; although 4 years ago; I thought its horrible, it’s really basic, tile based polished UI like that of My Crestron, and it simply works, it’s faster on Apple Device than the fast OS2 app on IOS!
    Between Alexa and Siri we are fine, hiccups are very rare and it just keeps getting better and better 😃

    Initially and quickly, this driver has the following features:
    - Ability to add, rename devices from within C4 and push to Homebridge, no Jason copy/paste
    - Supports Shades
    - Supports up to 5 Garage Doors with relays functionality
    Am still going to set it up to fully answering your questions, but I believe whatever the limitations of Apple will be inherited, so separate Hubs are required.
    It supports Docker so unRAID will definitely work.

    Get a MI box it has Audio Out. Plug it in to Controllers Audio input and you will have Chrome-cast Audio in all Control4 Zones.
