- Ver:685 This version has minor bug fixes.
- Ver:675 We have Added Support for the Programmable switch. The Custom Lighting Commands are Updated to support 2-Way Feedback as now we can set this Virtual device from Control4 as well. Please refer Documentation file for instructions.
- Ver:664 we have added support for TV accessories. Now users can control TV/Projector (Watch Sources) from the Apple Native Remote app. All Devices in the watch list will be available as an input of TV accessories in the Home App.
- Previously we have to create Custom Command to Turn ON/OFF any Source with this update users can create Scenes in Home App for Inputs. Everything is Synced between Control4 and Homebridge.
We have also Fixed a Minor bug with Advance Lighting scene Execution. (22/02/2022) - Ver:662 In this version we have included a library that will fix Devices in Homebridge with the wrong Device information. This happens when Homebridge is installed on a more secure device platform like Mac, windows with Antivirus software installed and Homebridge can not write the catch file in storage this leads to no Device information available when Homebridge reboots. The Device information Fixing works on the fly and there is no user action needed for this. Before updating the driver to this version please update the DTI WebSocket Plugin to v0.9.11
A New Property (Enter HB HTTPS URL) has been added to set the Custom Homebridge interface URL in composer.
