Yes please.

Notes
Doesn't do anything.
You drop it in like any other device in the tree, ability to change it's name in the tree, and a couple fields in properties (who, when, why) window to type notes in. Never shows up in navigator, or anywhere else.

Idea being, you can add it to design under an item, and it allows you to add notes about that other item. Say the light switch is in a stupid place, or you add a fake driver to breakout audio from a source, or just a place to leave a note behind on why something exists or how you set it up.

Sure there's way's to do Rem in programming windows, but looking for the ability to leave myself and the next guy a note on why this or that exists in design, or where something is located in the house. (Mostly for light switch physical locations.)

That's awesome!

Basically, 3rd party IR control uses Pronto Hex codes built-into the Composer Software to control just about anything.

See page 363: [Link: control4.com]

As mentioned above, URC has a waterproof remote. But this isn't the only use for 3rd party remotes. The options given by Control4 have been pretty sparse. You have the SR260 and the Neeo. You all know how I feel about the Neeo.

So, if you want more control, more buttons and more options in a standard remote form-factor, then a 3rd party remote is the way to go. Unfortunately, Control4 changed the IR sensor on their controllers after the HC200-HC500 series and this was no longer possible. The good news is that Control4 left the IR code in Composer, so we can take advantage of it.

C4 is working with LiftMaster/MyQ directly to develop an official driver. Liftmaster is apparently dragging their feet but someone from C4 said they should know more next month.

Drivercentral.com has a driver for the Honeywell Redlink T-stats, but there’s nothing for the non-Redlink stuff.

Also I've always wanted a faster way to cycle through scenes or lighting scenes. So if you have a button on a keypad, and you want it to cycle through three different scenes, in this propsective driver you coule just bind three connections in the driver to three lighting scenes - kind of like what the room control driver does for radio stations. It's not too hard to to do in programming but it would just streamline the process - especially if the driver is smart enough to know that if none of the scenes are currently active at the time of button press, it is to just jump to the next scene in the cycle.

OK, I did a super basic version of this:

(To locate driver in Composer, search for "notes" or filter Manufacturer = "Whole Home Control")

AFAIK, you can't expand the text field of the properties beyond a single line, so I included separate properties for lines 1 through 5.

I used a company called Sealoc to "waterproof" an SR-260. It's been used with a TV at a hot tub for about a year now - not sure if it's ever taken a bath or not!

I took a run at this. It turns out Control4 does not provide the required API call in their DriverWorks SDK to do this elegantly. There may be a workaround, but it would involve a bit of a hack, so I’m going to punt on this for now.
