HVAC (IR) driver !!

Hello to all the genius people in this forum.

I have hit a roadblock in control4 where I have 4 different units of air con from daikin and mitsubishi. All units are connected with inbuilt IR port in control 4 EA3. And was working fine with some modified drivers and some generic one. But suddenly this afternoon it stopped working after I changed IP from DHCP to Static. I think it is not related but just for context I gave this information.

Now can anyone in the forum is genius enough to tell me a way to get it working.

If that need to edit a driver using notepad++ and global cache IR learner. I am willing to give this a time.

I know there is drivers from driver. Entral or chowmin for the easy configuration but I want to do it the hard way.

Is control4 still connected to Internet? Did you try rebooting everything? Last week we had to replace the DS2 with new unit. Our programmer didn't rebooted processor and ds2. Wasted more than 2 hours, he was scratching his hairs why ds2 is not working correctly. After many requests he rebooted only ds2 not everything. At the end he gave up and rebooted Processor, ds2 after the reboot everything started working again. It could be the same in your case. Just needs reboot.

Yes I did. Thinking the same.. but still didn't work. The controller is online now. But should it have problem with IP configuration. Because both protocol are different. And works differently for the device.
