How to add devices to a project
There are two options to add a device to a project and identify it in the Control4 system:
- Auto Discovery—In OS 2.3.0 or later, current Control4 devices support auto discovery via the Simple Device Discovery Protocol (SDDP) using the Discovered tab in the Items pane. This is the easiest way to add and identify new devices attached to a Control4 system because it works automatically. If the device you want to add to a project and identify in the system appears in the Discovered tab, all you do is double-click to add the device to the selected room and Director does the rest. See “Auto Discovery (SDDP)” below for more details.
- Composer Views—You can add a Control4-supported device driver or a third-party driver to an existing project any time using the System Design and Connections views. See “Composer Views” or “Example Projects” in this guide or "Using Composer Views to Build a Project" in Composer Pro Getting Started.
