Hands On: Control4 My Home iPad App

A closer look at Control4's iPad App.

Control4's My Home iPad App was designed specifically for the iPad, says Control4 COO Glen Mella.

The app, which can be downloaded for free, controls lighting, temperature, music, video, security systems, Web cameras and more.

Users need to have the app authenticated to their system with a Mobile Navigator license, which can be obtained from a Control4 dealer.

Our friends Kris Kostner of Cinemagic and Kevin Luther of BlackWire Designs put together this video for us, walking through some of the features of the Control4 My Home iPad App.

Thanks, guys.

Kevin-

Nice job on posting the video. One question I had for you: I haven’t had time to go through the full App, but after getting iPad and loading it into our showroom program, it seems a lot of the 2-way features are not ready yet. It comes up with a “not available for iPad yet”. If this is correct, then it seems a little early to put this into someone’s house. Again, I spent all of 10 minutes on it, but wanted to see if that is indeed the case.

That and the volume control is in the wrong place.
