cause undesired light level oscillation when a light level is adjusted and multiple light
loads are included in a container variable.
• Blinds. The Somfy blinds’ Stop option was incorrectly grayed out in Composer Pro. This
function is now available and functional.
• Thermostat. Selecting the “Locked” radio button on the Control4 Thermostat properties page
did not work properly. It now reflects the state properly.
• Media Scenes.
• In some configurations, Composer Pro may lock up and/or crash when selecting Media
Scenes in previous releases. This issue has been resolved.
• Controlling volume for whole session using zones page with Media Scene will cause
volume control problems – When using a Media Scene with volume control tracking
enabled will create volume control problems if trying to control volume from the session
controls in the Zones page. This configuration should be avoided in situations where the
zones page is used and volume tracking is enabled.
• Wakeups. An error not allowing a Wakeup to be executed during the hour of 12 PM has
been fixed. Attempts to configure this in 1.6 would revert to 12 AM instead of 12 PM.
• Audio Matrix Switch. The Audio Matrix Switch no longer increments by 8 when increasing
the volume in a room with the Audio Matrix Switch configured as its audio endpoint.
• Conditionals. Programming conditional “If time is day time” or “night time” may not execute
correctly within one minute after sunset – If programming exists that is triggered at sunset or
sunrise and then other programming exists that is triggered immediately upon this change
that executes the conditional on day time or night time, the change may not be immediately
recognized. It may take up to a minute for this programming to execute correctly on the
change from night to day or from day to night.
• Home Theater Controllers
• Home Theater Controllers with 128 MB of internal storage should not be used as primary
controllers in multi-controller projects – Home Theater Controllers produced earlier than
December 2005 had 128 MB of internal storage. Home Theater Controllers produced
subsequent to that date have 256 MB of internal storage (use System Diagnostics,
System Info, HTC, disk free to check disk space) in the Home Theater Controller. Using
a Home Theater Controller with 128 MB of internal storage as a primary controller in a
multi-controller system is not recommended. There is insufficient internal storage to allow
Update Manager to update the entire system. There is no problem using an HTC with
128 MB of storage as a secondary controller.
• Using multiple audio outputs simultaneously on a Home Theater Controller or Media
Controller when Navigator is running simultaneously may cause audio playback to skip –
In systems with multiple audio zones with the HTC or MC used as audio endpoints, it is
recommended that these controllers do not run Navigator simultaneously.
• Home Theater Controller may take a long time to update – In some projects, we have
found that the Home Theater Controller may take up to two hours to complete the update.
If you suspect a problem, please let the controller continue to attempt to update for at
least two hours. If the issue persists, please attempt to recover the controller using the
USB Recovery Utility.
• ZigBee. ZigBee firmware update when using an HC-300 as Zserver may not successfully
finish the ZigBee firmware update – Some of the early HC-300s may exhibit a slow or halted
ZigBee firmware update. If you encounter these issues, please contact technical support for
additional assistance.
