Chowmainsoft has just released its new ELK E27 driver for Control4. 

The company explains the ELK’s E27 Alarm Engine is a modern IP and cloud-centric hybrid control system with robust hardwire and wireless capabilities. An on-board Ethernet port and optional Wi-Fi adapter provide secure connectivity with multi-layered authentication and encrypted communications. E27 offers automation with simplified scheduling and a robust rules engine for unrestricted customization. Easy integration with Z-Wave devices provides convenient automation and real-time control of lights, thermostats, locks, and garage doors.

The new Chowmainsoft solution offers a proper upgrade path, replacing existing security systems while introducing modern features. It is also an incredible solution for new installations, ensuring the integrity of the system by keeping the system core in a secure location.
