We’re maximizing convenience and access with this latest update! Keep everything that matters at your fingertips with Control4. 


Favorites on your Wrist 

Apple Watch now supports the Control4 App with this new update! Your selected Favorites will now appear on the Apple Watch for easy access to the media and devices you use the most. Accessible, one-touch controls on your wrist make your home more convenient and easier to use than ever before. 

If your iPhone, Apple Watch and the Control4 App for iOS are all updated to the latest version, you’re all set! Press the Digital Crown to theHome Screen and look for the Control4 App! 

If you don't see it, you can:

IF THE CONTROL4 APP DOES NOT APPEAR ON YOUR APPLE WATCH

  • Using your iPhone, open the Watch App

  • Scroll down to UNINSTALLED APPS

  • Find the Control4 App and tap INSTALL

  • Once installed, using your iPhone, open the Control4 App

  • On the Apple Watch, press the Digital Crown

  • Find the Control4 App and Tap to open

IF THE CONTROL4 APP IS BLANK

  • Using your iPhone, open the Control4 App

  • On the Apple Watch, press the Digital Crown

  • Find the Control4 App and Tap to open

  • The app on the Apple Watch will sync your project from the Control4 App on your iPhone

IF THE CONTROL4 APP SAYS 'NO ROOMS FAVORITED'

Because of the size of the screen, the Apple Watch cannot display the pages that you see in the Control4 App for iPhone. The Control4 App on the Apple Watch will only show: 

  • Rooms that you have Favorited

  • Devices that have been Favorited

  • Media that has been Favorited

However, Favorited Media has to execute an audio stream for it to display on the Apple Watch. For Example, if you favorite an Album, a Track or a Playlist, those buttons will appear on the Apple Watch. Favorites that take you to a page will not show up on the Apple Watch. For example, if you Favorited the Playlist Page, or an Album Page, they will not show up on the Apple Watch. 

In order to enjoy the Control4 App on the Apple Watch when you are away from home, an active subscription to 4Sight is required. 4Sight is Control4's subscription for cloud-services; you can learn more about it here.
