Issue 23 – APRIL SHOWERS BRING EVERYONE INSIDE TECH COMMUNITY!

Hey Smart Home Professionals!

We’re spring cleaning over here and couldn’t be more excited for the next few months. Our Tech Community is going global! That means everyone’s diving in! Hence, why we’re doing our spring cleaning—gotta make room for all of you! Check out a few drivers we’ve added, and don’t forget to update your Pandora driver! 

Thanks!

DODGE, DUCK, DIP, AND DIVE INTO TECH COMMUNITY

Alright, originally this header was just going to be “DIVE into Tech Community,” But, of course, the Dodgeball quote popped into my brain, so here we are. We’re getting more of our own C4 and Snap employees into Tech Community to support you all! We’re working on not just getting more Tech Support employees involved, but also more people from different departments to answer questions, relay feedback, and so on. Dive on in and we’ll see you in there!

UPDATE YOUR PANDORA DRIVER! SERIOUSLY. DO IT. 

We have recently received numerous reports of issues with the Control4 native Pandora streaming music driver. These issues could range from audio dropping out, to—in some rare cases—causing overall system instability. Recently, we released a new version of the Pandora driver (v818) to make improvements to the Pandora experience. We highly recommend updating to the new version of the driver. Results of testing and usage in the field have yielded positive results.
