Home Connect for Apple Home

Overview

The Home Connect driver integrates Control4 devices with Apple HomeKit using a Homebridge or HOOBS 4 server. This will enable customers to control supported Control4 devices through the Apple Home app and Siri Voice Assistant where available.

A Homebridge or HOOBS 4 server installation is required to act as the proxy between Control4 and Apple Home.

• Homebridge is a software-only offering and can be installed and run on many platforms and devices. See their installation guide for more information.
• HOOBS offers a simple Plug and Play Hub available for purchase on their website. Alternatively, you can manually install their software on a variety of devices. See their installation guide for more information.
