DriverCentral is excited to announce that another new developer has joined the site! YATUN is a software development company that has been creating Control4 drivers since 2007. The company became a Control4 authorized distributor in 2009.

The YATUN team has been in the smart home industry for many years, educating installation companies and providing technical support to Control4 dealers. YATUN specializes in complex system integrations and helping dealers propel projects forward.

YATUN already has two drivers loaded on the DriverCentral - Audac R2 and 
Devialet Expert Pro. The Audac R2 driver enables network control (TCP/IP) and integration of the AUDAC R2 digital matrix system in Control4. The Devialet Expert Pro driver enables two-way integration for the ultimate audiophile system, Devialet Exert Pro Amplifiers. Visit their page to check out their drivers! 
 
 
DRIVERCENTRAL SITE UPDATES!

In April, we announced some exciting updates coming to the site in our blog. We're excited to say that those updates are now here and the final results are even better than we originally planned! Continue reading to learn about the improvements we made to the Project Portal and how these improvements make dealers' lives easier and decreases the amount of time you have to spend managing your projects! 
 
 
PROJECT PORTAL

We have officially launched the new Project Portal, complete with better overviews of projects, the ability to initiate global driver updates, and a fresh, clean look. The Project Portal is a cohesive dealer tool that allows dealers with any platform to utilize the same interface and experience the same benefits.
 
 
PROJECT OVERVIEWS 
 
GLOBAL UPDATES
The new Project Portal features an at-a-glance overview of projects so dealers can easily see their projects that are online or offline, unassigned projects, and projects with updates available. Clicking on any of these categories shows dealers all the projects that fall in that particular category. With the improved project overview, dealers can more quickly and easily manage their projects on DriverCentral. 
 
Many dealers wanted the ability to update an individual driver to the latest version for all projects at one time, and DriverCentral delivered! When dealers click on the Updates Available button, a window showing a list of drivers with available updates opens. This window also shows how many homes have each driver installed so dealers know exactly how many homes will be affected by an update. 

With a single click, dealers can update any individual driver for all projects with that driver installed. This simplified update process drastically decreases the amount of time dealers have to spend updating their projects. We all know that time is money so we're saying it - DRIVERCENTRAL SAVES DEALERS MONEY!
 
FRESH NEW LOOK
Overall, the Project Portal has a new, clean, and easy-to-understand interface that gives dealers all the important information without any of the clutter. And don't worry, dealers can still update drivers on specific projects individually! Just click on any project to launch the project window and click the Update Driver icon for any driver listed in that project.
