New Agent Released: Code Agent
We recently released another addition to Cindev's Agent Bundle:
Code Agent is a multi-layered tool utilizing codes for access, control and so much more. In simplest terms the Agent equips the user with code or codes that will either trigger events or prevent them from occurring. To encompass many different scenarios where a code may be needed the driver provides the dealer with the ability to customize the behavior with five unique code types that include:
Toggle: Toggles between ‘Verified’ and ‘Normal States’ each time the correct code is entered.
Timer: Verifies code for a specified amount of time when the correct code is entered.
Access: Grants/denies access to device connected to Access connection output for a specified amount of time.
Control: Unlocks the ability to control device connected to the Control connection input for a specified amount of time.
Code Match: Attempts to verify every time the code is entered so long as the code is between 3-8 characters
Click the name of the code types above to find out more.
To summarize the functionality of each code type as well as many other features the driver comes with additional supporting documentation:
All of Code Agent's features are centered around agent's dashboard. The dashboard is available on iOS, Android, Control4 T3 and Control4 T4 devices running Control4's OS 3.2.1+.
As this is a security centered driver it adds on the following features for added protection:
Code stored encrypted in the driver, meaning the code can not be retrieved once set (it can only be reset in Composer if the code is forgotten)
Ability to change the code at any time without dealer intervention via dashboard
Ability to lock out the user after a specified amount of incorrect codes
Other non-security features that further the customization of the driver include:
Ability to show/hide code when entered
Ability to show/hide length of code
Ability to verify automatically or using button clicking
Ability to adjust verification time
Ability to adjust lockout time
In addition to the multitude of previously mentioned features it contains the following aspects found in many other Cindev Agents:
Part of the Cindev Notification Suite
Supports Cindev Trial and Showroom license
Contains a clean User Interface for iPhones, iPads, Android devices and Control4 T3/T4 Touchscreens

UniFi Protect Update
Due to the updates in the latest Control4 OS (3.2.2+) we were able to further improve on our UniFi Protect driver with some often requested features.
A new feature of the driver that deserves honorable mention is the added dynamic snapshots feature. Before the latest update the main limitation of the camera driver was the missing preview snapshot on the Control4 user interface. This was due to the inability of Control4 to handle the changing url of the Protect snapshot. The latest Control4 dynamic snapshots feature allows us to update that url on the fly so that you can now get a quick preview before viewing the live view of the camera!
Here is a complete overview of all of the features added to the latest UniFi Protect driver:
Update to use new camera_v2 proxy commands (Control4 OS3.3.2+)
Added dynamic snapshots
Added liveview (iPhone, iPad)
Added support for different resolutions
Added line cross detection events
Added Package detection events
Added motion detection to Protect Light driver
Fixed issue with Protect light not toggling
