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.

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

Integrate Hikvision Face Recognition Terminals
Whis this driver you are able to:

Open Door connect on readers
Receive events of:
User identified (one event for user on programming tab)
Users not recognized
Terminal door bell
Terminal Contact Sensors

As integrators there are times where we cannot replace ISP provided hardware (eg Cable modem or NBN modem). As such we are reliant on the uptime of these devices and when they go down they take down many of the devices in the home. The Chowmain internet rebooter driver allows reboot of modems, routers, switches, access points and other networking equipment directly from Control4's built in relays.

The idea is that the driver will monitor a specific website periodically and if it fails to retrieve the content from that website multiple times it will execute the reboot sequence. Note that this driver requires wiring of Control4's relays upto the power supplies of the networking equipment.

Tinycontrol offer budget IP controlled rack mount power control for the EU market. Chowmain have created a Control4 driver to control the range of IP power sockets made by Tinycontrol.

MSRP: $80 USD

Chowmain’s Command to Event driver for ELAN allows ELAN programmers to override existing remote control buttons to fire event maps.

This lets the programmers to be more creative in the solutions they provide their customers to add extra functionality.

For example they can make a one way IR bluray driver dim lights when the play, pause or stop buttons are pressed on the remotes.

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.
