On the Control4 App | Locks & Sensors we do not see the alarm notifications. This appears to be a bug.


While running a Control4 showroom in Sydney, our customers and SSW consultants have come across these issues. More info at Smart Office & Smart Home consulting page and Rules to Better Control4.
On the Control4 App | Locks & Sensors we do not see the alarm notifications. This appears to be a bug.
In the latest Control4 update (3.2.0), an option has been added to the Control4 app called “History”, where you can easily see all events that happened around your environment. This is great but a little noisy.
It shows “movement” events in a weird way, putting “opened” and “closed” at the end of it, e.g.:
This shows that the movement started and ended, which is fine.
Figure: Bad Example – Opened and Closed is not the best wording for movement
It is not a natural way to read quick movements. For example there is a difference between a car that quickly passes by and one that parks. Say you had a camera facing a busy street, do you want 2 events (open and closed) for every car that passed by?
The same argument works for people that walk past a sensor. This creates visual noise.
2 improvements for the UI would be:
A: In the top tab, I see a red count eg. 1 … so I expect to see a red dot on the relevant items under it 🔴
B: The 2 columns are too far from each other – the middle gap is unnecessary
For example I would like to change the order to be:
Give us PowerBI for history graphs on the data E.g. Air conditioner

I suggest changing from Blue text to either Yellow or Red.

Can you consider a public suggestions site you can vote on?
Eg. UserVoice.com
Help me see how many of each is turned on:
Eg.
Like the red notifications you see on an iPhone:
