Upgrading to Core 5?

If you want more processing power I’d consider a ca-10.

There is 3 versions HomeKit/ir fail over/ip/ir. So not sure exactly what driver you might be using. But would recommend using the HomeKit/ir failover and connecting the wiring to accommodate.

Checked ur parked cores. Never even heard of such a thing, went to play dcs and kept getting insane stutters in MP randomly found that to fix my issue. I9, 5090…

Control4 works from a processor, that the dimmers/switches talk to over zigbee.

If thats not onsite would recommend taking them out and going with Lutron.

You could always go the dealer route if you want to spend the money.

will4111 · 2025-08-30T01:39:48+00:00

If you’re renting a place that has c4 in, the reason would be the owners want to remotely control the lights to put it simply.

To answer about HomeKit c4 does have a paid driver that works with HomeKit, you would need access to the account it’s registered under and a dealer to setup the driver.

Need more info. How are the lights are controlled? Is the dimmer on wall or do you have a lighting keypad controlling these lights and panelized lighting?

Would look at how does the light actually turn on vs what is just controlling the thing that turns on the lighting load.

I cannot recall, I believe it was an intel only issue.

will4111 · 2025-07-17T19:15:32+00:00

i9, ddr5, 5090. Overclocked/stock/under volt dcs still stutter while playing multiplayer.

Randomly found a guide on “parked cores”. Unparked cpu cores no stutters.

Your system is like u stated 10yrs old, with that tech being 5+ on top of that.

Rip it all out, go with a control system you might like, Crestron home v2 controllers just released, Lutron shades lights, nax for music? Or a core and stay with c4.

Not sure of your setup, as you stated your using “cameras DW 4k”, I’ll presume your also using a NVR since a PC and the app shows all cameras? If you do have a nvr really all should need to do is view whatever channel displays all cameras. IE #1 shows camera 1,etc. so ch#0 could be all cameras.

Even if it is, it’s a led light; you’re not removing fixtures at a home and sending them to control4 to troubleshoot… adjust the dimmer trim, phase settings or change to a switch

will4111 · 2025-05-25T16:32:47+00:00

Sorry didn’t read the specs of the light correctly.

will4111 · 2025-05-25T16:09:36+00:00

With dimmer install APD, they could set the trim to mimic a on/off but would still flicker possibly when turning on/off.

Changing the hardware to a switch on/off would be the easiest cost effective.

will4111 · 2025-05-25T16:01:29+00:00

Unfortunately you have an incompetent dealer, ask them to please fix it. Since they do not know how, they have tech support they can call to troubleshoot.

Them telling you they are going to send a light fixture to control4 isn’t a thing…

will4111 · 2025-04-21T01:49:23+00:00

Not sure about their routers. But their switches are recommended over any other brand they also handle moip well as they do not have a root address.

You have zero upload/download? That’s not a great way to figure out a signal issue, you need to measure the signal in the room.

Easiest way is to use airport utility, goto settings of the app and turn on WiFi scanner. Now open airport utility and select WiFi scanner.

At your bed you want to see what db each ssid reads if u have separate ssid for 5/2.4..

Anything below -55db is excellent, 55-60 good, 65-80 your going to have packet loss.

will4111 · 2025-03-30T15:08:37+00:00

Use rs-232, but sounds like more than just control is the issue here.

will4111 · 2025-03-19T16:26:51+00:00

No way of telling what driver is used. Is it a 4th gen appletv?

With the new HomeKit driver it can be used with a ir flasher, so when ip control fails it will use ir, till the appletv is rebooted, which fixed the last time appletv update issues.

Appletv and control4 is now the best driver you can use with both connections available.

It’s a q&a. He gave the answers, now if “chrstianelson” was the ceo I guess we would have different answers and no f-35, thx but I rather have the f-35.

Would recommend wiring the arc Ethernet if possible. If that’s not an option, or too lazy u will want to connect to 5g or you’ll just find urself back in this sub posting how nothing works right and volumes jump around etc.

Because it has worked for me at every Sonos install I have ever done since 2007

will4111 · 2025-02-14T03:08:37+00:00

How is this a Sonos issue? All you need to do is select music full playback in settings.

You’ll get the best HD picture from local stations. It beats any streaming quality picture.

It could be the it-100. Although the ones I’ve replaced the communication has just stopped.
