Has anyone used control4 with Ubiquity equipment? I have a triad one that won’t connect to wifi on ubiquity but when I bring it home on my araknis it connects just fine

All,

I have a Launchport for ipad mini installed on the wall 10 years ago. The control4 app on the ipad mini no longer works as the latest C4 app is not supported on the old ipad iOS. Now I am looking for options to replace the launchport as well as the case - and the old launchpad case does not fit with the new ipad mini models. these models were discontinued . What options do I have to replace the launchport charging station on the wall - so that I can buy a new ipad and be able to use new C4 app.

Thanks,

Chak

Hi all.

I've been reading through this subreddit because I recently purchased a condo which came with a Control4 controller that was connected and configured via a dealer, but with a totally empty "room" containing no devices. The more I read, the more I'm pretty sure I'd be wasting money to engage with the dealer for this - not because I don't trust the dealer, but because I just don't think I need any of the advanced capabilities of this ecosystem. Am I thinking about it right?

• I have existing Hue lights/bulbs and control them with physical Hue switches on the wall. I do not intend to spend hundreds of dollars replacing these bulbs.

• There are some Lutron Casetta switches in the apartment which have their own controller and don't seem to be integrated into the C4 system. These are also physical light switches, and thats fine.

• This is a 1 bedroom apartment, things like multiroom audio and whole-home scenes are overkill. I do not control any exterior lighting. My existing stereo system works via Spotify Connect and/or HDMI ARC from my TV, and thats perfect.

• The intercom / door camera is an Akuvox system which does not seem to be integrated with C4... but I DO care about being able to use the Akuvox app from my phone for remote doorbell capabilities. At home, I use the Akuvox wall panel instead of a phone / ipad when the bell rings.

• There are no other smart appliances in the home. I don't intend to install smart shades, integrate with mini-split thermostat, or integrate with bathroom heated floors in the forseeable future.

So... I've got this box, and everything seemingly works without it, including the mix of smart bulbs etc I brought from my previous home. Is the best case scenario for me something like just replacing my Sonos and Hue with one controller? Or is there some panacea of value I'm not seeing because I frankly just inhereted this thing and don't know enough about it?

I purchased a used Pakedge S3L-24P switch that I would like to use with some Biamp TesiraFORTE expanders. Does anyone have a copy of the updated AVB firmware (S3L_runtime_1.0.B8.img) they would be willing to share? I can’t find it anywhere and support won’t reply to me. It’s not a licensed feature for Pakedge so no concerns for digital theft….

I have a c4-sw120277 that seems to be operating fine (e.g. the lights operate as expected) and when it's disconnected from the light, the red wire will go hot, but when I connect it to the load, nothing happens. I imagine some internal safety mechanism is being triggered, but I'm not sure how to address it. The wiring is pretty straight forward, and I don't see anything obviously wrong. 

Curious if this group has any suggestions as I'd like to do some preliminary debugging before calling someone out.

Thanks.

Hey all, I need a C4-V-OSW120-WH to finish up a project but Snap won’t have them for awhile. Just extending my search. Thanks in advance!

My HC-300 has died, and I'm thinking to ditch control4 all together. Will my control4 ldz-102-x dimmer's work with modern zigbee hubs? I'd love to be able to control these dimmer's from my iPhone.

Anybody know how to get this off the wall? 5x7 screen.

I still havey favorite DVDs from 20+ yrs ago. What player do you recommend that will work best with a brand new c4 system? Thx.

Not directly a C4 question…

Looking for suggestions on which Episode in ceiling speakers would be good to use as rear surrounds with a Sonos Amp, along with a Sonos Arc and Sub?

Hi,

I am trying to get my music collection working in Control4. SMB does sort of work however C4 tends to interpret the "Interpret" instead of "Album Interpret" tags which makes things very messy. Unless there is a way to handle this, DLNA seems to be the way to go.

I setup an Airsonic server within the same VLAN/subnet as C4. I can see/operate this via DLNA and VLC on my Mac. However C4 (using Composer Home) is not able to find it despite hitting rediscover server. I can see multicast to 1900 from the C4 Core and that these are being answered.

Should C4 display the DLNA server in Composer Home and should it work with any DLNA server or just the ones listed as compatible?

Any clue would be greatly appreciated!

So i just bought a home with control4 system in it. now the dealer tells me that i need a personal account so i can access the control4 services. I only have the light switches working and programed. So i tried to search on the internet and on this sub reddit to see how much the account costs. So does anyone know on average how much the account costs? I only need an account as my server and everything else is working correctly. Thanks in advance.

Hello community, does anyone know a good installer in the phoenix AZ area? A good friend opened a restaurant and is having trouble with the sound system and is looking for help. The system is NOT Control4, mods please delete this post if it’s against the rules Thanks in advance!

clarification - I meant to say Control4 Dealer but can’t edit the title

Hi. I have a background in consumer and b2b tech sales. I’m considering getting into the residential/commercial automation market. I’m looking into entrepreneurship through acquisition as a full-time transition and considering potentially getting into this space as I have a personal passion for it. I love people, sales, and technology. Has anyone in this community gone through the acquisition process? I’d love to get your advice or learn from your experience either via acquisition or starting up your own business. Thank you in advance.

Hi. We worked with a C4 dealer to set things up for our house. We also pay a yearly subscription so that we can control the house while outside.

Anyway, we created multiple users for the main account. So the main and like 3 other sub users with their own passwords and email. In the C4 app, the individual user uses their own username and password to login. The main account also has a separate email and password to login.

We also setup notifications for opening doors. Eg. I touch open "Main door" on my C4 app, Android or iOS will display a banner "Main door opened". This works well but we would like to improve it further.

Is it possible to have the notification display the username like email? This is so we can control who presses what? Eg. my email is "bob@something.com" then the notification would be: " bob@something.com Main door opened"?

Please let me know and thanks.

About to move into a home with this system always installed. The prerequisite owner is not helpful and will not give any info on the system. What are my options to find out more about what this system can do and get it transferred into my name? Are there any remote dealers I can contact that can help with this?

Control4 is so slow; The touchpads won't load the cameras and struggle to load simple things like radio/spotify or lighting Why...

I've now had a Control 4 for well over 10 years and made a number of upgrades over the years. I've done some lighting integration, but not a large amount of it. I've been told by my installer that they can integrate Lutron switches with ease. Considering the high price of Control 4 switches, this sounds like a good option.

Has anyone done a home with Lutron integration? The only downside I can see is that the Lutron switches wouldn't act as a mesh network node for Zigbee. Assuming I have enough to native Control 4 devices to keep the communication covered, what are people's thoughts?

I have a client that is looking to display custom numbers on a driver as if it were a thermostat

The \"77\" would be replaced with a custom value

Customer has an AirThings Wave Plus that measures Radon levels, CO2, PM2.5, VOCs, etc

We want to take the readout of each of those numbers (accessible via variable in Custom Programming), and plug it into a sort of "Thermostat simulator" so that the Radon, CO2, PM2.5, VOC, etc each have their own unique display icon under Comfort.

The values would be simulating Temperature_F

(AirThings spits out a variable for "CO2" - I want to be able to write that variable into a Thermostat Display driver and have it viewable on the C4 OS3 app screen just like a thermostat temperature is visible.)

But the Thermostat drivers do not allow rewriting of the "Temperature_F" or "Temperature_C" variables (indeed, it seems no Thermostatv2 proxy driver allows this)

Is there another driver that accomplishes this?

I can't create different experience buttons because there are too many variable numbers it could be - it's not just an "on/off" display like the UI Scenario experience icon, and displaying different colors like the UI Status Key experience would also not help

Anyone else have a solution out there?

Thanks in advance!

I have the Proficient Speaker brackets model PCB-C800 (8in) and PCB-C600 (6in) screwed in a new construction house. Can these be used with the Episode Core 1 8in and 6in speakers?

TIA!!!

Just bought a home that has a few WB-300-IP-3 units in it. I was able to get a copy of the Wattbox Utility software hoping that I could reset the device. I was reading some other forum posts about the Master password however all of these units do not have that sicker on them. The manual says that the reset button will only restart the network adapter. I have tried it anyways both while the unit was on for about 30 seconds and with it off holding down the reset button while powering it on for 30 seconds. I reached out to SnapAV and felt like I just got the runaround. First they wanted the MAC and Serial numbers which I gave them and they confirmed that the devices are not registered to any dealer in the online platform but they could not help me reset the password. I also contacted the old home owner and he said he did not have the password but his buddy (independent av guy) would have but he passed about 2 years ago. I have tried all of the defaults that I could find Wattbox / Wattbox, wattbox / wattbox, and admin with no password. I also tried combinations of the three that I found.

Anyone have any ideas what I can do.

Devices are all Hardware Version: WB-300-IP-3, Firmware Version: WB10.9a17

Folks, I'd love to hear the kind of experiences you all have using audio control in a Core 5 + Halo touch remote setup? My integrator is useless unless it's a maintenance need or a gigantic project but I've invested recently in a full upgrade (even my home network to new POE switches and WIFI 6 AP's) so wanting to start figuring out how to get more capabilities out of my investment.

My first thought is voice control (I have nothing at all through C4, only a few standalone amazon echos) so wondering everyone's experience? I'm not committed to Amazon btw...literally just a few christmas gifts over the years is why I have these spy devices laying around. Also, any other great "new" capabilities, agents, third party integrations for systems that are fully up to date as of this year?

I'm a committed C4 customer but my 8 year old C4 audio matrix is likely failing on me - I've got audio cutting out across all zones irregularly...have replaced my streamer + EA5 and two EA1 controllers as they were also flaking out. Without being able to really troubleshoot easily, I'm ready to just change out my matrix but I cannot help but wonder if all the room mixing/combinations can be done in software versus needing another hardware component in the path?

My C4 integrator has digressed over the years into really only doing maintenance for me + huge projects...anything in between that requires a little solution work is a dead spot for them. So, I do my own research and here we are.

Any advice out there?

Hey all.

How can I do step 3 (the below step) in the Apple TV Dealer Quick Start Guide? It doesn't gel with my experience. When I open the Control4 (for OS 3) app on my iPhone, I don't see any Apple TV Control option. I can, however, control my Apple TV with my phone, in Control Center. And the Apple TV and Apple Bridge drivers are in Composer Pro for this room, along with the HDMI connection made between the Apple TV and the A/V receiver.

Step 3: Enable Apple TV Integration in the Control4 App

Bought this system a while back. I can use the app, but I hear there's newer remotes than the one I have. Can I use it and still have my EA-3, or do I need to update to a new controller, like the core ones?

Hey Everyone,

I'm looking to get a Netgear Switch working on the OVRC environment. After enabling a few features on the Netgear Switch M4250, the OVRC got to Find it and get the current states of the ports. But I'm still unable to send commands from OVRC to the Switch (Like rebooting a PoE port). Does anyone knows anything about this?

I have a bunch of C4 equipment that turned out to be way overengineered for our actual small home setup, all left behind by the previous tenant. We decided not to engage C4's services.

I have kept the amp in play, but all the rest just seems unnecessary for us.

How can I find anyone who could use any of this? Where is it best to dispose of it otherwise?

List of items:

- RE-2 Router
- SE-18 Ethernet Switch
- P8 PowerPak
- C4 Audio Matrix
- EA3 Controller
- 2 Remote Controls
- HDMI<>Ethernet Transmitter and Receiver
