Using the Control4 remote control

The Control4 System Remote Control is a quick way to manage your Control4 system on your TV screen or on the remote’s own display. This universal remote is so versatile, it can replace all other remotes in your home.

To learn how to use the remote in depth, see the System Remote Control User Guide or find other related help at ctrl4.co/sr260. While you’re at it, ask your pro about a recharging station for your Control4 remotes to keep their batteries always charged.

Using the List interface on the remote

Use programmable buttons

Although every button on the remote can be programmed, the four colored buttons and the three “dot” buttons are the ones most commonly programmed for special actions. Ask your pro to program buttons to automate devices, or you can program them yourself using Composer HE or Automation basics.

You can print this help topic, then note each programmed button’s action for reference.
