Control4 Composer Pro 2.5 Cracked
Canumil Flowers
I just recently bought a control4 system and have version 3.2. I am looking to update my music and downloaded composer. The version downloaded was 3.1.0. This doesn't work with my system and it says there is an update available, version 3.2.1. when I click to update it says "there are no versions found for Composer 3.2.0." The location it is looking at is _0/Updates.asmx. I have searched for anywhere that has the newest version, can someone help and copy a link. Thanks.
you will get that notice in HE if there is an update but you need to update OS (by your dealer) then update composer HE via downloading as mentioned above on your own after the controller OS is updated. When you get that notice you can click close/cancel or whatever and go about using composer HE
I'm also seeing this problem. I went to download Composer ME (for the first time ever) and the version selector ends at 3.1.0.xxx. I tried downloading that, but after it starts up, it notices my system is 3.2.1 and tries to update. It gives me dialog with "Available Updates" 3.2.1.589001-res+Composer but if you click on "update", you get "There are no versions found for Composer ME 3.2.1".
Same problem for me too... We have scrolling pictures on the kitchen wall tablet. I put that up through ME a while ago but now I cannot connect through ME, how am I supposed to change and the pictures on the screen as and when I want to? I tried doing it through HE but that does not work, the instructions say add the folder but it wont let you do that, it tries to add files but they do not come up in the list of photos.
two questions, I am new to my system installed at Christmas and after already having Sonos, Philips hue and harmony remotes before, feeling a little flat about what I can and mostly can't do to change things in control 4. Have door station, door strikes, hc-800, 5 x Sonos, a stack of lights (hue) and blinds (Somfy RTS controller). I want to tinker with scenes and have some control myself. My dealer tells me $350 Australian for composer home edition and it won't do much for me
Question 2 - can I get it cheaper elsewhere or can you only have 1 dealer. I see some people advertising to do remote dealer work, can you buy software / licenses off others or are you locked into one dealer at a time?
Absolutely get HE if you have any desire to modify what your system can do. It will pay for itself almost immediately. Working in Composer is not difficult, but you can't "write code" - it's all drag and drop, so it's more time consuming than regular programming. At $85/hour, HE pays for itself with less than two hours of your dealer doing stuff. The list on HE is $149. Maybe a remote dealer can/would sell it for less if they were also going to do some additional work. But $149 is nothing in a C4 project.
on your second point - you are not tied to any dealer. Only one can be listed as yours on the Control4 web site, but you can change that back and forth at will. You can also add other dealers as authorized users so they can log in to your system.
Thanks everyone. Got a remote Canadian dealer to do it for me, the year of 4sight extra made it pretty cheap for just software. And your right. Wife is much happier I can update, change, rename custom buttons. Got Alexa working and custom lighting scenes allow me to end user configure system to do anything through control4 from Alexa! Happy man - thanks!
@Shardik - Why do you say that? Are there other products that are more advanced in this area? But then again, the technology may be from the 90s when you look at how long C4 has been around. My system was installed in 2007 and I don't really think that Composer HE is radically different today than the version that I used back then.
1. a button that will close the garage doors if left open, that happens a lot around here. I was able to program it so the LED on the button comes on Green when they open and changes to Red after 30 minutes. Then I also set the button to Toggle the open close on a single tap. Then for our second garage door it is all controlled off a double tap. If one door is still open the lights don't go off.
2. a button that will Cycle through a couple of her favorite playlists. on a button click it increments a variable and depending on the variable number it sill select that playlist. a double click turns the music off.
Neither of these would have been possible if I didn't have HE. I would have had to call my dealer and wait till he could fit me in. Additionally if you like to tinker with your system this give some level of involvement. If you aren't into that and just want it done, then let your dealer do it. I personally think it is worth every penny.
If you have any interest in doing things yourself, HE is a must and will pay for itself the first time you implement something. I have a lot of custom programming and scenes that make using C4 far more enjoyable that would have cost me thousands of dollars through a dealer (along with all the wait time), though I would have done without most of it if I couldn't do it myself.
I know this is an older post but hopefully it is still monitored. You state that you need Pro to add drivers, but if I already have some devices in the system and want to expand it is that possible. For example, I have lutron Caseta light switches and blinds already under control so if I add an additional light circuit can I add that to the C4 system with HE or do I need Pro for that?
I have already purchased 4sight and the home edition comes with it, can. Upgrade my current 4sight to include home edition. If not if I purchase home edition can I use the 4sight licence included next year.
Has it ever been asked before to have a Composer Pro option for Home Owners? I know that C4 (and most other professional home automation companies) want to be a dealer-only sales and support model, which I want to start off and say I HIGHLY support! But my question is, why not allow an option for a savvy (and interested) home owner to buy Composer Pro from a dealer?
How is this not a win/win for everyone??? If Control4 did offer this model, it wouldn't get home owners out of working with dealers - - it would just allow those for those die-hard enthusiastic home owners to have better control over their system. This is just a thought for consideration, from someone who REALLY likes C4, just wishes they could buy composer Pro.
It has been proposed quite a few times, IMHO the biggest impediment to this is that ComposerPro would likely need to be locked down to a project, as Control4 would never allow a non-dealer to access other peoples' projects.
But couldn't that just be a simple option/fix in the software? Or...couldn't that just be part of the Terms and Conditions of the purchase? Meaning, if a home owner is ever caught "selling" their services to another person, they lose their software, and their system gets locked down - something extreme that would disincentivize anyone.
I don't have Composer Pro, so I couldn't tell you exactly what the difference is. But I know my dealer has an ability to see where I wrote code in my system, whereas I do not. Plus, they have a different ability to capture logs and troubleshoot. I know this because I have had to have them do it to my system maybe 15 times this year.
If this is true, then why not just make Composer HOME a "PRO Lite", where the only difference is an ability to lock down to a project. Other than than , they would have full capability on their own system.
Most dealers do not make a handsome profit by cleaning up end users messes. The money is made in designing/selling/installing initial systems and added sales during the relationship with the customer. Running out to fix a mess the home owner made is not a big profit center and depending on the size of the shop can be a burden. So selling Pro at a 1 time cost to then have to be still be on the hook for support makes no sense. C4 likely cannot handle a global support desk 24x7 but every end user out there who wants "Pro". So a lot comes back to the support model. C4 support isn't even 24x7, but certain dealers do offer extended/weekend support. How would you feel if it was Friday afternoon, you blow up your system but you cannot speak to a c4 tech until Monday morning? At least now depending on your arrangement you can reach out to your dealer for help.
