The SainSmart iMatic V2 provides 8 x 250V/AC 10A Relays channels that is controlled over ethernet TCP/IP.  This unit is extremely affordable, is powered via a local 12vdc supply and is also din mountable.  Other solutions cost anywhere from 3 times to 10 times more.  This is by far the cheapest way to integrate relays into Control4.

*** SUPPORTS OS 2.8*** The Omni and Lumina control systems from HAI (now Leviton) provide comprehensive security, energy management and sophisticated lighting control.  For more details on the Omni systems, please go to the Leviton website for Omni Security Systems.

The Domosapiens driver for these systems communicates over Ethernet IP and provides enhanced features and reliability.

Homemation Occupancy Driver

This driver allows for quick & easy setup of Occupancy for a room to turn lights, AV & HVAC off when there has been no movement for a defined period.

Features

• Ramp dimmers to a pre-set level on Occupancy
• Set an Occupancy Timeout of 1 minute to 1 hour
• Turn a rooms AV off when Occupancy Timeout is reached
• Control Thermostats based on Occupancy
  • This was tested & works well with the Chowmain Intesis Driver but should work with all Thermostat Drivers
• Enable or disable the Occupancy via UI Button on a Navigator
• Enable, Disable or Toggle the driver with a Keypad with LED feedback
• A separate but FREE Occupancy Controller driver to update multiple Occupancy Drivers simultaneously from programming

Chowmain has integrated the range of TP-Link Wifi based Smart Home products into Control4 with two way control and feedback.  This provides easy to retrofit solutions for indoor / outdoor smart plug control, power strip control, inwall outlet/switch/dimmer control and also LED bulb/strip control.  The hardware is extremely affordable with outlets starting at $24.99, bulbs at $19.99, light switches at $39.99 and power strips at $79.99 MSRP.  It definately adds value to any Control4 installation.

LIFX (pronounced Life-X) is a line of energy-efficient, multi-color, Wi-Fi enabled LED lighting products that can be controlled via a Wi-Fi equipped device such as a smartphone or smartwatch.

The LIFX driver for Control4 allows for two way control and feedback of all LIFX products including bulbs, strips, beams, tiles and more.

Now supporting RGB and RGBW plus Warm White and Cool White Devices!

Looking for an inexpensive way to add controllable LED light strips to your Control4 project without having an additional "hub" to manage or complicated DMX solution?

Solution: Nexlux Wi-Fi enabled LED strips and this Control4 driver.

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.

Unfortunately this device is not available to the majority of the world as it only supports 120VAC voltage for US plug type devices.

Introducing the D-Link Smart Plug. It has plug types for different regions and is extremely affordable. This WiFi based power outlet supports up to 10amps (100-240VAC) and can be easily integrated into the Control4 home automation system using the Chowmain D-Link Smart Plug driver.

Colour Wheel for Control4 is a unique driver from Janus technology providing a sleek, colourful, and intuitive web interface for Control4 RGB, RGBW and Tuneable White (WW) Lighting drivers.

The screen is dominated by the spectacular colour wheel, which allows for the easy control of multiple lighting channels, adapting to type of light controller - RGB, RGBW, WW. There is support for 8 scenes per room, with on-screen visual scene colour indication, and simple selection. The interface complements the existing Control4 lighting screen, and is selectable from any T3 touch screen.

Bond Bridge lets you connect your existing remote controlled ceiling fans, fireplaces, blinds and more!

This Wifi based device can be placed anywhere there is WiFi coverage making it easy to control IR/RF devices that are in locations that are hard to run cable.

Integration into Control4 allows you to activate, control fan speeds, open/close shades, turn on lights and more all from a single point using Control4's touchscreens, mobile applications, keypads, handheld remote controls, onscreen and cloud based 4sight remote monitoring service.

Homemation – Crestron Lighting Driver

This is a two-way driver between Control4 and Crestron. This is to be used in combination with the Creston Module written.

Secondary Drivers: 

• To add dimmable lighting loads to the system, use the "HM Dimmable Light" driver.

• To add switched lighting loads to the system, use the "HM Non Dimmable Light" driver.

• To use a relay with non-lighting loads, use the “HM Relay Interface” Driver which allows you to connect a Control4 Relay Driver so that it reflects in the correct place on a Navigator.

• To use a keypad button from Crestron within Control4 you can use the “HM Keypad” Driver. Each button requires an address from Crestron. You can then bind these in connections or use them in programming.

Looking for a controllable LED light to add to your Control4 project without having an additional "hub" to manage or a complicated solution like DMX?

Solution: WiZ Wi-Fi enabled LED bulbs and this Control4 driver.

This LIFX LED Wi-Fi Bulb Control4 driver gives you local integration of these lights including:

• No Internet required - sends commands directly to the lights on the local LAN!
• Dynamic selection - automatically finds all the bulbs on the network and lets you select from a drop down with the name!
• Individual sliders for dimming, selecting color, adjusting temperature and saturation

This driver is a simple convertor that allows you to use a Lighting Device within Composer and get a Relay Connection output.

 Features

• Quickly select the lighting driver from System Design
• Quickly bind the Relay output to the Relay Driver you need to control
• If the light it turned on via the light icon on a navigator this will reflect on the relay driver
• If the relay device is triggered the commands are routed to the lighting device

Circadian Lighting is a new driver suite by Janus Technology that allows you to easily program a circadian rhythm for any tuneable white dimmers in your project.

NOW FULLY SUPPORTS OS 3.3 Lighting

Each circadian lighting controller can configure a schedule entirely from composer for a subset of lights you choose from your project - this means you can have multiple entirely different schedules running in one project, with a different subset of lights being controller by each!

Common use cases of this would be to synchronise the colour temperature of your lamps to your location's daylight, or possibly even your sleep schedule to give warmer colours at bedtime and cooler ones during the day.

Over the last decade, Lightwave has helped pioneer a revolution in home heating, lighting and power control: the ‘smart home’. Just a few years ago, the idea that your home could be enhanced by smartphone apps or voice control may have seemed out of reach, but with Lightwave it is here today.

Lightwave devices look smart and act smart. Behind the sleek exterior, built-in wireless technology allows all of our devices to communicate, via the Lightwave Link Plus hub

Lightwave is a modular system, so you can start with just a single device, or control a whole appartment suite. All you need to get started is their smart hub: the Link Plus

Lightwave is simple to install as it is based on ‘retrofit’ technology which uses the same wiring and backboxes as standard fittings. Once installed, dimmers and sockets can be operated using traditional manual buttons as well as bi-directional control through Control4 using the Chowmain Lightwave driver.  

This driver brings full support for the wLightBox RGB controller into Control4, with two-way control and feedback, advanced lighting scene availability, and full support for the integrated LiteWave effects via custom commands.
