The Daikin Airbase BRP15B61 lets you control your Daikin ducted or SkyAir system via apps on your phone or tablet.  This module is easily can be easily retrofit without installation of new wiring as it is powered by (and communicates via) the Daikin P1 and P2 bus terminals and communicates via wifi.

Thanks to Chowmain the Airbase is now integrated into Control4 for full two way control and feedback over  temperature, HVAC mode, setpoint, fan speed and zone control.  We have also added additional functionality to the driver to handle presets and scheduling internally.

Setup of hardware and driver should take you no more than 30 minutes once you get the hang of it.

Dahua, who is a popular surveillance manufacturer, produce a range of PTZ and NON PTZ based IP cameras for a range of residential and commercial applications along with network video recorders (NVRs). As one of our top requested drivers we felt that we needed to create the ultimate Dahua driver for Control4.  We have worked closely with Dahua to ensure that the integration provides the best user experience possible.  This driver pushes the integration of Dahua by offering functionality that allows the cameras to push the boundaries of security and home automation.  This means that surveillance is no longer just for security but can also be used to trigger motion-based programming like lighting.

Control4 supplies the wireless outlet switch that makes any household plug-in device, like lamps, appliances and electronics part of the Control4 system by turning a standard outlet into a smart outlet.

Another example is that they can assign a hard button to toggle a light on and off or perhaps create a macro to execute a sequence of commands.

This driver is built specifically for those Muslim Control4 home owners who want to program their home for adhan (or azan) - the call to prayer which happens 5 times a day.
