BenQ provides a standard set of serial based commands that work across their range of projectors.

This driver is based on those commands which allows us to control all BenQ projectors.

APC’s Switched PDU’s allow you to control the power of devices in your customer’s rack. This is extremely useful for energy saving and remote troubleshooting. Integration into Control4 enables Control4 to do emergency shutdowns on low or high voltage levels or if the total power consumption is exceeding or lower than expected. This ensures that the health of your customer’s rack based equipment is maintained.

MSRP: $90 USD

The Videostorm IRUSB device allows us to control any Android set-top box including the Nvidia Shield, Amazon Fire TV, Foxtel Now and more.

The Chowmain IRUSB driver for ELAN provides IP control over the IRUSB with keyboard text entry, direct app launching, transport controls and more.

It adds additional IR outputs to ELAN by replicating the Global Cache protocol allowing for control over local IR devices via the built-in ELAN Global Cache drivers.

Lastly, it also can detect when audio starts and stops.  This is useful for automated selection of the device for Android TV boxes that have Chromecast built-in.  Now you can cast YouTube, Netflix or Stan via your mobile phone/tablet or by voice using Google Home and have ELAN automatically select the box as a source with full transport control over the casted content.

Note that this driver requires a product called the Videostorm IRUSB be installed along with the associated IRUSB application from Google or  Amazon stores (does not require root).

Tank Utility manufactures battery operated WiFi devices which monitor propane tank levels. Integrated into Control4 this ensures that your house responds to different levels of propane. This can be used to inform the home owner upon low levels or Control4 can be programmed to turn off unnecessary loads to preserve energy during a power outage.

Want to control the Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast with Google TV, Nvidia Shield, Xiaomi Mibox, AirTV and more? The Chowmain Android TV driver is designed to control Google Android TV boxes.  It is a software only solution so no extra hardware required.

This allows you to navigate the Android operating system and control applications as you would with a normal infra red remote control. No need to root the device and no need to install any additional hardware.
