Overview
A smarter automation layer for standard room behavior
Traditional Control4 automation often relies on fixed schedules, simple motion events, or a large amount of manually written room logic. This driver adds a decision layer that evaluates the room context before selecting suitable lighting, shade, and comfort climate actions.
The driver is not intended to replace Composer programming or professional dealer design. It helps dealers deliver more consistent residential automation while preserving project-level configuration, device naming, sensor mapping, and room-by-room control decisions.
Core value
Reduce repeated room logic programming
Higher-level automation
Achieve high-level intelligent automation without advanced complex programming skills for every room.
Dealer-controlled configuration
Use naming, motion sensor mapping, automation style, and room-level settings to tune the automation to the installed project.
Main features
Lighting and shades first, comfort climate as assistance
Lighting Automation
- Room occupancy based lighting behavior.
- Different logic for daytime, evening, night, and late night.
