Incredible video! Thank you for taking the time to create this. I am a Control4 Programmer myself but I have not yet had the time to configure these new options. Now I have a great Headstart and general knowledge of the capabilities. Thank you again. You rock.

Hey! thanks for adding this video! I'm about to get my apple tv's switched off the IR driver over to the IP driver so that the voice command works. Have you had any remote disconnects/reconnects with the new IP driver? thats what led to me to go IR in the first place. The Halo is nice though. Thx for the tip on DVR button! Do you have the back button on the halo working like the back button on the SIRI remote? When I hit that now in the IR driver it just brings me back to the apple home screen, not back in the app (menu does that).

+1 for the ability to jump back and have subtitles on for 30 seconds... Roku remotes have a button for this. Does this remote have a button for the feature? I don't want to have to talk to my TV to get it to work.

Thanks very much for your video I just joined on your channel and I find it quite interesting, one very important question I heard a rumour the latest Intel CPU like 13 gen, is it true it won't play 4K Blu-ray disc on your portable player, is that true to back up your movies, fat through what can I do to solve this thanks very much👍

Does siri work in the background? I have all my control4 ported into HomeKit. Can I control them with Siri commands if say the cable box is selected or the tv is off?

GREAT VIDEO……..does the DVR (hold home button) take you back to the Home Screen when deep into the Apple GUI so for an example you don’t have to hit menu or back multiple times?

My Halo seems to be often losing the session I am on and also losing network connectivity as well fairly often… so far my old Harmony was more consistent

How much flexibility do you have in Home Composer to make adjustments yourself? I know you cannot add new pieces of equipment but if I wanted to mess around with the source on the receiver that gets activated can I do that myself or can only the dealer make that sort of adjustment?

[jasonking]

can you program the halo remote or the 250 with the composer HE?

How reliable is the IP driver? My C4 installer thinks it is too buggy and sets it up with IR. Seems like I won't get voice control with IR. We need that IP driver V50, yes?

Hi, what software are you on with the Apple TV? The beta program seems to have broke the usage with CONTROL4.

Have you had any connectivity issues with the Control4 losing connection to the Apple TV. Curious how stable the Driver is.

When using the voice command do you actually need to say "Siri" or "Find" like you did in this video? On my Siri remote I can just hold the button and say a movie title and it knows what to do automatically.
