Configuring third-party devices

Use the System Design and Connections views to configure third-party devices using third-party device drivers. The same basic steps apply to third-party drivers as with Control4 devices. Many of these drivers are ‘certified’ and are available in the drivers online database. Some of them will use Auto Discovery in the future.

Notes: (1) If the device you want to add and identify doesn’t support Auto Discovery, you can follow the steps in “Composer views” or “Example projects” later in this guide. (2) New drivers for Sony STR-DA2800ES and DA5800ES receivers (ZSO-STR-DA2800ES or ZSO-STR-DA5800ES) are available in the Search > Online Database list (‘Receiver’ if the device is used as a receiver only in the Control4 system). The Sony receivers cannot be used as a controller in OS 2.6.0 or higher, see “Configuring a home controller” in this document.

Although third-party drivers are supported, they are not documented in this guide. For information about the devices and drivers, see the product’s own website.
