r/C4diy

We moved into a house that was renovated in 2012 with an extensive C4 lighting system. We reached out to the local dealer and have been told that due to the age we are looking at $3k minimum to start upgrading and that won’t integrate with our front gate.

We are both technical enough that that idea of being locked into a dealer managed system is very off putting. Also, we are an Apple based household and I want to be able to make shortcuts for lights and music in our home. As well, I want to be able to open the gate with Siri or geofencing.

Does it make sense to update the main computer of the house and jailbreak and tinker from there or start to try and piecemeal the system avoiding C4 altogether?

The current system is so old that the 3 control pads we have are leaking goo.

🌀 Dyson driver for Control4 — beta testers wanted!

After plenty of development and testing, our Dyson driver for Control4 is now fully working, and we're looking for a handful of integrators to put it through its paces on real-world projects before general release.

If you've got a Dyson Wi-Fi connected fan, purifier or heater on a job (or in your own home!), we'd love your feedback.

A couple of notes:

✅ Beta licences are locked to your Director (just send us your controller MAC and we'll activate you)

✅ 30-day beta licence per install

✅ Full details listed at bkmsolutions.co.uk

Drop a comment or send me a DM if you'd like to get involved — all feedback welcomed, good or bad!

Claude believes it can make a sensor to integrate with C4 and thinks it knows how to get SDDP sorted, and the new sensor (PIR for first experiment) into C4.

Has anyone done this? is ClaudeAI a dreamer or is this realistic?

I’m trying to obtain the install file for composer 3.4.3 it’s the only version my system will connect to. I’ve tried higher systems but the management pack is no longer available either. Anyone help me out with a copy I can provide other versions if needed.
