- navigator cache stale
- director sync lag
- project push incomplete
Problem Description
When your Control4 Control4 Navigator Sync isn't working as expected, it usually traces back to one of a small number of causes — this guide covers them in order, starting with the most likely.
Symptoms
- Old device list
- stale room controls
- changes visible only in Composer
Recognize these? Here's what usually causes it.
Common Causes
- navigator cache stale
- director sync lag
- project push incomplete
Most fixes happen in the first 3 steps.
Do not assume Composer changes are visible until client sync completes.
Tools & Requirements
Step-by-Step Solution
Confirm project committed
Ensure latest project changes are fully saved and deployed.
Refresh navigator state
Restart navigator client session to clear stale cache.
Validate reflected changes
Check updated rooms/devices now appear correctly.
Quick Solutions
Still having issues? This is usually the deeper cause below.
If this comes back after following these steps, check whether a recent app or firmware update reset a default setting — the fix works, but the setting gets reverted silently.
Navigator refresh should be part of post-change validation workflow.
This issue almost always looks more complex than it is — the majority of cases trace back to a single setting, a stale credential, or a default that shipped wrong.
