Three driver files are included in the release package:
- screeninnovation_troy_gateway.c4z
- screeninnovation_blind.c4z
- screeninnovation_blind_group.c4z
The gateway driver provides all communication with the Screen Innovations system. Only one instance of this is required in the project for each TRO.Y. It is responsible for discovering all blinds attached to the gateway and communicating this to the companion blind/group drivers. This allows the Control4 installer to easily access the system by simply associating a discovered blind (from the gateway) with an instance of a blind driver; no manual entry of names/serial numbers is required.
- Copy these files from the zip package to your Control4 driver location (by default, this is Documents\Control4\Drivers).
- Open the Composer and choose the “Search” tab from the “Items” pane.
- Add one instance of the Screen Innovations TRO.Y Gateway driver for each TRO.Y in the project, and one instance of the blind or blind group driver for each device for integration into Control4.
- Enter the gateway username and password using the driver properties.
- Define the IP address of the gateway driver in the “Connections - Network” pane.
- Add as many instances of the “Blind and Blind Group” drivers to your project as needed to control.
- Choose the blind for each driver to control using the Blind Name property.
- If available, enter the blind’s travel time or use the Measure Travel Time action to automatically measure the travel time of the blind.
- Refresh Navigators.
Gateway Driver - Properties
- Driver Version – Reports the current version of the driver.
- Operational Mode – Reports the current operational mode of the driver.
- Gateway Username – Enter the username used to connect to the TRO.Y gateway device.
- Gateway Password – Enter the password used to connect to the TRO.Y gateway device.
-
Polling Interval – Choose how often the driver should poll a device in the system.
- The driver maintains a connection to the gateway and receives asynchronous notifications from the blinds, so polling is only needed during initial startup and as a safety mechanism to ensure the system stays in sync.
- A shorter period results in faster initial synchronization.
- Debug – For support use
Gateway Driver - Actions
-
Discover Devices – Interrogate the TRO.Y gateway to discover any devices that have not been identified on the Control4 system.
- This happens automatically at start-up but can be useful if the Screen Innovations system has been modified during runtime.
