The initial setup of Photo Screensaver requires that a Control4 installer setup the storage location (typically on a network attached drive, or a local USB drive). One of my favorite features of the Control4 system is that you can have Control4 touchscreens display photos as a screen saver, after a user-configurable timeout. To that end, a while back I created a small Lua script that does just that. Since I typically have a terminal window or two open, I can quickly type ‘lights 20’ or ‘fan off’, much faster than I can start up the Control4 Android App, or find my SR-250. Although I like Control4’s touchscreens, the Android app, and Control4’s SR-250 remote, sometimes when I want to adjust my office lights or turn on / off the office ceiling fan, I’d rather do that with a simple command-line application. Pretty simple stuff, and not that useful for anyone other than someone demoing Control4 without all the hardware. In Control4 programming, you can program against the command name received in the COMMAND variable. If you do a URL Get to the following address: The Control4 ‘COMMAND’ variable will contain MYCOMMAND, and the ‘Command Received’ event will be fired. This driver accepts connections on the main (master) controller on port 8080, and sets a variable with the sent command, and fires an event. I’ve had a few requests for this driver lately, sorry I haven’t posted it before now. An example of the programming to set the ‘Bottom LED Off’ LED to a teal-type color (RGB #00DDFF) for 4 dimmers is shown below: The driver can also set LEDs on Control4 keypads, although I haven’t provided an example here, it’s much the same as setting LEDs on dimmers and switches, and is left as an exercise to the reader. IMPORTANT! If you edit any inputs or outputs of the driver after editing a driver, you must remove the driver from the project, add it to the project again from the Search tab, and then make the connections.Valid color names include: BLACK, RED, YELLOW, ORANGE, GREEN, BLUE, AQUA, FUCHSIA, GRAY, NAVY, PURPLE, SILVER, TEAL, WHITE, DARKRED, DARKYELLOW, DARKORANGE, DARKGREEN, DARKBLUE, PEACH, BUBBLEGUM.
When you’ve edited the driver, click finish, and click next.See “Creating IR-Controlled Drivers” for details. Edit the screens or recapture the codes as needed.Select a section, and click next to advance to the screen that you want to edit.In the next screen, select the driver type, such as VCR.From the Driver menu, select Edit Existing Driver.Start Composer Pro and connect to a Director.This option lets you modify and update the driver options in the Driver Wizard. To make changes to a driver located in your local driver database that is NOT fully-configured and connected in a project, you can use the Composer Pro Driver menu > Edit Existing Driver option.
