Naming the Wireless Music Bridge
The Wireless Music Bridge can be given a unique
name, called the device-friendly name. This name is
used by AirPlay, DLNA and Bluetooth to help the user
see the Wireless Music Bridge on their smartphone/
tablet. Each Wireless Music Bridge can be given a
unique device-friendly name to help associate it
with a given room or individual. The installer should
determine the appropriate name by discussing it
with their customer. Assign the device-friendly name
in the driver Properties tab in Composer Pro under
Device Name.
The Wireless Music Bridge device-friendly name is
unique and is not directly associated to the driver
name. The device-friendly name is used by the
AirPlay, DLNA and Bluetooth client, whereas the
driver name is used by the Control4 system. The
installer should consider naming the driver and the
device-friendly name in a similar manner so the user
is not confused when looking at their touch screens
and on-screen displays.
4
For Bluetooth, the device-friendly name is appended
with a -BT. This allows devices, such as iPhone, to
uniquely distinguish between AirPlay and Bluetooth
connectivity. If Bluetooth is not used, the installer
should disable the Bluetooth radio in the Properties
tab of Composer Pro.
New Features
The Wireless Music Bridge has two new features that
enable the Wireless Music Bridge to Auto-start and
turn-off a room automatically.
• The Automatic Room(s) Selection property in
Composer Pro lets the installer select which
room(s) will start when a smartphone/tablet
connects and starts streaming music to the
Control4 System. The Auto-Start feature will
only start a room if a media source is NOT
already selected. If a media source is selected in
the desired room, the Wireless Music Bridge will
NOT overtake the source.
• The Automatic Room(s)-off will automatically
turn off the selected room(s) when the
smartphone/tablet stops streaming music to the
Wireless Music Bridge.
Both properties will cycle through the selected
room(s) and make sure a different media source is
not playing. After that, it will then start or turn off the
room(s) as appropriate.
