Purpose of device drivers

Every device in the Control4 system needs a corresponding device driver so the device can be controlled by the Control4 system. When you design a system in Composer, the corresponding device driver is added to the project each time you add a new device to a room. 

Device drivers for Control4 products come pre-installed in Composer. Device drivers for hundreds of third-party devices are available through an online database and can be added easily to the project. If a driver for the model you need does not exist, you can use the Driver Wizard to create a custom driver. 

Note: Creating a device driver is an advanced skill in Composer. For detailed information about how to create a driver, see “Creating device drivers” in the Composer Pro User Guide.
