A FRESH INTERFACE, OPTIMIZED FOR EVERY ROOM

The most important rooms in your house, as well as your favorite devices and scenes, will be front and center so that it takes fewer taps for you to find what you’re looking for. When necessary, you can still find devices and scenes organized by category (for example, Watch, Listen, Comfort, and Security) by tapping the Control4 icon in the upper-left corner in the Control4 app or touch screen.

CUSTOMIZING YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH FAVORITES

To favorite a room, simply tap the room name at the top of the screen. A list of all rooms appears. In the upper-right corner, click the pen button. To add a room to your favorites list, tap the heart next to each room. After it’s selected, you’ll be able to quickly swipe between those rooms.

Favoriting scenes and devices is just as easy. Find devices and scenes by clicking the Control4 icon on the upper-left corner. When you’ve found the device or scene you are looking for, tap and hold the icon to favorite it to the room. Press and hold any favorited device or scene to arrange or remove them.

You can favorite devices and scenes to any room of the house, not just the rooms they are physically in. This means you could turn one room—like your master bedroom—into a control center for your whole home. This would allow you to control and see the status of door locks, window shades, and smart lights around the house from your bedroom dashboard so you don’t have to swipe from room to room when making sure everything is secure and powered down for the night.

NEW MUSIC AND VIDEO EXPERIENCE

With the new Active Media Bar, easily see and control your favorite music and video content in one room or throughout the house. The Active Media Bar includes large album art, easy access to the Now Playing screen, fast volume adjustment with a new slider, and the ability to mute, pause, skip, and thumbs up or down with just a quick tap. The Sessions screen makes it simple to keep track of what is playing in each room and even control all rooms from a single location.

FILTERING FOR FASTER, SIMPLER NAVIGATION

If you have a lot of devices in your home, you’ll love the new Filter function. Sort door locks, sensors, window shades, and lights to make it much easier to find devices you’re looking without having to scroll through a long list. By tapping Room, you see only the devices that are in that particular room. Tap the filter icon to sort by active or inactive devices, and tap All to get a full view of all like-devices across your entire home.
