Happy to help anyone that needs help getting it setup!

I got my IRUSBs in the other day, and msgreenf helped me out on getting these installed and working!! 
These are awesome to use, and if anyone needs someone to help get these setup and working he is your guy! Super friendly, and great pricing for the work! 

Great! Thx so much! I'll get them ordered and let you know when I have them setup and ready for drivers install! 

And if you need someone to setup the drivers I am happy to help

Well the senors are able to be seen in C4. They are attached to a thermostat, and not a stand alone temp sensor. 

I get that. But I want to adjust the temp in the basement. My main floor furnace also heats the basement. The nest is on the main floor which may be 67 but the basement is only 62.
The sensor can tell what the temp is and turn on the heat to get the basement to 67. Now in return the main floor may go higher then too, which is ok.
So I need to get the senor into Control4, but it connects to the main floor therm by Bluetooth.
Hope that clears some things up as to why I want to use the sensor.

Find the light w the problem. Select it and then look on the right bottom there should be a red fault and reset button

I've taken the liberty to repackage this driver by fixing the output types, changing the type from DVD to Media Player, adding the same icons that the No Control driver has, etc. (main part I cared about were the icons) - hope it's useful to someone. The IR part is unmodified, and it's an unencrypted c4z, so you can just unzip it and continue making changes.

I’ve had it since it came out. I use the IP driver and you use the previous button for back.
You can also map certain buttons on the remote

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.

I will vouch for ari as well. Honest and knows his stuff. Been working with ari for few months as i progress my system..

Whole house with no working light switches and C4 components dead...ARI CAME TO THE RESCUE!!!!!
I found Ari through this forum and it was the best thing that ever happened to my family. We bought a house 3 years ago that had an existing control4 system in it. We knew the system was over 10 years old but what we didn't realize was everything it controlled, or lack there of when it went down. Fast forward 3 years after being in the house, my wife called me at work and said the house light switches all stopped working. What I thought would be a simple fix, or reset of system, was not that easy. Multiple components has seized in our control room, so I set out in two directions to see if I could get the problem fixed. I first called a local control4 dealer to do an assessment and give me a price to modernize things...WOWWZZZAAA...these guys wanted a figure that was nearing the verge of insanity. During the same time, I had reached out to Ari and another for advice. Ari was the first one to get back...within a couple hours. I explained my issues, sent him some pictures and then we discussed current state vs new state, if I updated some equipment and had him do programming. We agreed on some new equipment and programming and in a couple of days I had the new pieces of equipment. Ari added the components and then he got down to programming -- he rocked it and we were up and running. THEN, after he explained all of the things I never knew the system could do, I decided to add additional components and functionality. Well fast forward a couple of weeks from start to finish (we did A LOT), I couldn't be happier. Everything works, my kids love all of the new bells and whistles, and my wife loves the fact that she can check from her phone to see if she left the garage door open!!!!!! Best of it all...Ari's pricing is SUPER reasonable and he goes above and beyond. I'm busy with running a couple of companies, so there were times were I needed him to do programming at midnight-3am and he showed up without a issue (we shared a few virtual beers and laughs, I must add). If you're looking for a programming superstar, who is honest and trust worthy, and doesn't get upset if you get frustrated, Ari is your guy. BEST choice my family made. 

Identifying them by IP address certainly wasn't the fix, so, since you haven't found the culprit, you can't rule anything out.
The FACT remains that issues with SDDP are usually caused by the network. FACT. I'm not troubleshooting your network or your system, it's a FACT that issues with SDDP (which is a multicast-dependent protocol) are usually caused by the network.
If you knew that, you would have known that identifying a device by IP address isn't a fix, it's a bandaid for network issues.
And just because your Pakedge gear didn't change, that doesn't rule out a network issue. So, keep ruling out things you haven't ruled out. I don't care, it's not my project. Or, you could take someone's comment and try to use it and not dismiss it.

You obviously have something else happening in your system, and you're lucking into things working better, not fixing issues.

Issues with SDDP usually means a network which isn't handling multicasts well.

Why would you ever ID devices another way... ... ...?!?!

Msgreenf set me up. Love it but have a problem. Can anyone help? If I say 2 part commands:
1. Alexa turn on kitchen
2. Alexa play XYZ on rack Dot, it works fine and I get music in my kitchen.  However, if I do a step command:
3. Alexa turn on kitchen and play XYZ on basement dot, I get an error, "sorry I can't find device kitchen echo dot". Follow up mode is enabled for all of my Dots. 
 
Any thoughts are appreciated. TIA. 

Hey everyone!  I just published version 1.1.16 of the homebridge plugin.  For those of you "doing it yourself", please make sure to upgrade the plugin version installed on your units.  For those of you with my OS licenses or hardware appliances, the web portal on your units will soon show you the available update.  Please make sure to install it.  I believe this update should correct *all* issues with errant status being reported as well as occasional issues where a command from HomeKit isn't processed.  

Here is the knowledgebase article for dealers.

Thank you very much let me go quickly look and make a call

It looks like it's been in 'transition' for over a year.....Last post in a quick scan seems over 6 months ago...I wouldn't hold my breath

I apologize for what I said.

For what it's worth Charlie Kindle has stated on social media that while he lurks and looks at information/thoughts/ideas he won't chime in much as the VP of products getting involved in those things just isn't scale-able.  It would be awesome if he could respond to all of that stuff but I think expecting him to is a bit unfair as there are hundreds of thousands of C4 users.  This is why Control4 stresses the dealer model as your dealer should be your go-to and you should have direct access to them which is a scale-able model (FYI really not trying to start the dealer model debate with this).

They're either working on Google Home support or they are not. I don't see how they could tell us they're working on it without announcing it, that's ... sort of the same thing?

Please stop using caps like a child.
