  • Sony TVs falling offline/cannot be controlled from Control4
    Snap One and Sony are aware that Control4 is losing connection over network connections to Sony TVs. Make sure the TV is on the latest firmware, and enable automatic firmware updates to get the resolution when it is released. Sony has asked to make sure TVs are updated to current firmware so they can track the issue.
    The easiest way to update a Sony TV is with the original Sony remote, entering the setup menu, selecting ABOUT, the software update option should appear.

  • Apple TV IP control falling offline
    Several years ago the implementation of Apple TV Homekit with Gen4+ Apple TVs forced integrators to use a new Apple TV driver for IP control of Apple TV. This control method has proved unreliable and no resolution is expected. The fix has been to convert Apple TV control back to IR (infrared). Some customers have resorted to using the Apple TV remote app on their iPhones as a workaround. If you believe your site is having Apple TV control issues or you have to reboot your controller every month or so please contact Dan on 021 977 595 to resolve this issue, once it is fixed it will not reappear and you can go back to enjoying entertainment without the headache.
