In addition to using Hubitat as my main HA solution, I also have a working Control4 system that controls the AV in three of my rooms, including a handful of Control4 branded dimmers and a screen relay/projector combo in the home theater room. I would like to use Hubitat to control those C4 devices and perhaps trigger C4 scenes, etc. I have found a relatively new Hubitat driver for C4 here.
I don't know much about Maker API, but for those of you who do know, does this look like the right solution? Will this only make my selected Hubitat devices available to C4 (ok, but not my primary goal) or will it also make C4 devices available to Hubitat (my primary goal)?
The docs are petty vague but since it only uses Maker API I would suspect it only syncing HE devices over to C4. Maker API is for interacting with devices already on HE, not creating new ones. In order to get external devices into HE you would normally see a custom app or driver that gets installed on HE.
There are no direct C4 to Hubitat integrations. You need to use Home Assistant in the middle, C4->Home Assistant->Hubitat. There is a built-in driver in Home Assistant. And then HADB in Hubitat.
Thanks very much for the explanation. Just to be clear on the first scenario of HE controlling C4 through HA (devices from C4->Home Assistant->Hubitat), here are a couple questions:
1- Does C4 require any special drivers for this, or is it simply the built-in driver for HA?
2-Can C4 scenes like "Watch TV" (or whatever C4 calls them) be triggered? ? or is it just control devices?
Just a quick note of "Thanks". Was able to use Home Assistant's built-in integration to Control4, and then HADB to Hubitat, for the control of the C4 dimmers...as described. Thanks to all!
