I want to install a PS5 with all other audio / video equipment in a media closet (control4 system). The problem is the PS5 controller won’t work as the controller and TV is further from the media closet than the Bluetooth range allows. Has anyone solved for this dillema?
Hello everyone !
I have a new client that has a 90s Stewart filmscreen ceiling drop down projector lift . I had no idea stewart made lifts before yesterday . I’m trying to integrate it with control 4 but stewart doesn’t have any manuals or wiring diagrams of this lift because it’s too old .
What I have is a single 3 conductor romex coming from the lift to a single gang box in the room . One conductor is 120v hot . When you touch that wire with one of the other two wires the lift goes up or down . Do you know anything I can use that can integrate with control 4?
The house has been under re model for 2 years and they don’t know what happened to the switch that used to be there . Thanks in advance !
Been in the AV and networking business a very long time but haven’t really every delt with control 4. Long story short, had a customer that called me yesterday and had an issue with the integrator, the integrator cut his Internet off, which was araknis and he had a control 4 system as well. I went to ADI and picked up the OvrC pro hub and was able to take over the araknis switch and router. The customer has issues with control 4 and this was before the previous integrator cut off the internet (he disabled the lan port on the router to the switch, I was able to factory reset the router then use the OvrC pro hub to take over control and reprogram). Trying to get customers control 4 system operational now. Need to guidance on the best way to do that (is there a way to take it over and restore from a backup) thanks again for your help (control4 green horn)

Hey all, not sure if anyone has done this before, but I am trying to add 4 Echo Link Amps for multi-room music. There is no specific driver, so I attempted some generic drivers to no avail. I was able to get them to show, but no music plays through them.
I believe the issue is because there's no signal being sent from the amps (they're passive) they're not registering, but I'm not sure —a little over my head.
The rest of the music group are two Sony receivers, model STR-AZ3000ES.
Any help/advice appreciated.

I just moved into a new house and it has a Control4 system that is no longer set up. I'm pretty technical but I'm finding myself needing to reverse engineer the system and I think it will take more time for me to reverse engineer than I want to spend on this.
Who should I reach out to about having somebody come out to look at the system? I suspect that some of this stuff is pretty old so I might even just want to replace it with something more modern if that makes sense. I looked for a Control4 Integrator in my neighborhood in my area but nobody came up on the Control4 Integrator search. I live in Walnut Creek, CA.
Control4 already integrates with Google Home to let customers control lighting, shades and other smart-home devices using Google Assistant. The new Chowmain Google Cast driver complements that existing integration by bringing the audio side of Google Home and Google Cast into the Control4 ecosystem as well.
Customers can continue using the experience they already know, casting from their phone or saying “Hey Google, play music”, while Control4 gains visibility and control of the resulting audio session. The driver provides Now Playing information and artwork, playback control, volume and mute, automatic room on/off, keypad bindings, programming events, announcements and more.
This is particularly useful in homes where Google Home, Nest speakers or Nest Hubs coexist with a traditional Control4 audio system. Instead of having two completely independent audio experiences, the Google Cast device can now become part of the Control4 room while still retaining the convenience of Google voice control and mobile casting.
Driver features include:
For more information see link below.
Pretty proud of myself given my thermostat died (so I couldn't initialize it or set anything up with it) and they never sent a roku.
New location will require new C4 switches. My friend pushing Lux but what main difference besides the look?
🌀 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!

Hello. Recently I've gotten a new-used AN-110-RT-2L1W-WIFI router. The internet is kind of terrible and unreliable, as the firmware is from 2020 -- 1.0.86 [Jan. 14 2020 21:02:56]. I can not find the required step up firmware to update to the newest version. I found this thread from a year ago, but it doesnt really help me:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Control4/comments/1m7hmgl/araknis_router_help/
If anyone could help me and send the required step up files, i could manage the rest from there. Also, i can not use ovrc.
Thanks.
I set up an old computer as a server using Plex for my music library. I am able to access the library using my iPad to control tv screen and play and listen through control4. But I want to be able to see and select music using iPad and not from tv screen if I am sitting away from tv. Is there a way to do that? Thanks
Hoping you guys can help me out. Sold a few Triad SA1's for a job and it's the first time we're using them. We can't figure out how to get eArc activated. We called control4 on Friday and after two levels of "tech support" they had no idea either and told us just to use fiber. That's all fine and dandy since we have a control4 system but we'd rather use eArc.
For their pool area we have a large sunbrite with an eArc extender kit connecting into the SA1 for a landscape audio system. We'd rather the client not have to manually switch between tv and music although it's not the end of the world. With eArc it should just automatically switch on with the tv when they turn it on which is the function we're going for.
Snaps website says eArc is activated with Ryff and full disclosure we didn't set that up (client wasn't home at the time and then came home very late as we needed to leave) so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.
I'm hoping someone else has sold and programmed these because it seems like Contol4's own tech support hasn't 🙃 anyone else notice how they started to outsource their customer/tech support
Thanks in advance!
Ok so my pool installer isn't being very helpful. They installed a jandy wireless pump controller, a jandy pro.seriee chlorinator controller, a lutron caseta switch and a intermatic transformer for the pool lights. He's being vague about the wireless control for the lights. From what I'm seeing and reading I need something else to be able to control the colors wirelessly. He told me from the beginning I would be able to control them wirelessly and i thought he was going to install the aqualink TCX but he didn't. Can someone tell me how to control the lights wirelessly with the setup he has or do I need something else?
Anyone have recommendations for replacing an old Control4 door station setup? I believe that this is a re-labeled Helios intercom from 2N. This was originally installed as part of a Control4 system, but the rest of the system is no longer functioning.
I can still see the camera feed on it via RTSP and it tries to make a SIP call when you press the doorbell (can see this in a network sniffer), but without the rest of the system in place, I'm not sure how much use it is anymore.
There is a newer version of this from 2N, but I'm curious on other options for this form factor. It isn't the end of the world to have to patch up the stucco on the gate post where this is currently installed if I can't find something in the same form factor, but figured people on here might have some thoughts.
Thanks
