Composer HE

Your Control4 Dealer or installer will set up and
customize your basic system, but if you want to
customize your system further, you can use the
Composer HE application (sold separately) and
install it on your PC. You can purchase this product
from your dealer.
Here are some ideas about customizing your system
using Composer HE.
• Customize your Control4 system from a
Windows PC on your home's local network,
or from any Internet-connected Windows PC
(requires Control4 4Sight subscription).
• Monitor and change some settings to control
your lights, thermostat, security system, or other
devices from your PC.
• Configure the Control4 devices on your system
to set LED colors on dimmers, switches, and
keypads; set the ramp rates and the default
levels of your dimmers; set your Wireless
Thermostat schedule; program the four device-
specific buttons on your remote and more.
• Scan and manage your digital music and DVD
media collections.
• Add new agent types to your system. Use
Media Scenes to tie together the audio-source
selection, volume control, and on/off state of
multiple rooms so that they work as one zone.
• Use the Email Notification agent in Programming
to notify you when events occur on your system.
• Create and modify Lighting Scenes customized
to your needs.
• Use the Scheduler agent to program events
based on date, time of day, and sunrise/sunset.

environment into a single, controllable, and
programmable system.

FAQ

1
Do I have to use my TV as the interface to select
music, listen to the radio, and control my lights?
No. Your TV interface (on-screen Navigator) is
just one of many interfaces you can use with
your Control4 system. You can use the list
Navigator on your Control4 remote to control
all of the automated functions in your home, or
you can purchase Control4 7" Portable Touch
Screens to sit on your nightstand, countertops,
or coffee table or the 5" or 7" In-Wall Touch
Screens. For mobility, use the MyHome app on
your smartphones, PCs, tablets, or use the 7"
Portable Touch Screen.
2 Do I need to point the Control4 System Remote
Control at the TV?
No. Your remote uses a wireless communication
standard to give you ultimate flexibility, and
lets you use the remote up to 50 feet from your
Control4 system while standing in any direction.

Can I listen to the music on my MP3 player, iPod,
or a USB drive with my Control4 system?

music, and stream it to any room in your house.
