Control4 and Control UI Team for iPhone, iPod Touch Home Control App
(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
Control4, a provider of IP-based home control and entertainment
systems, announced the release of two new products compatible with
iPhone, iPod, and iPod Touch devices from Apple.
The first is an application developed in partnership with Control UI, a
company that extends control systems to mobile devices, which enables
iPhone or iPod Touch users to fully access Control4's home automation
system. The second product is the Control4 Dock for iPod, which enables
music and videos on the iPod to be integrated into the Control4 system.
By downloading an application developed by Control UI to the iPhone or
iPod Touch and adding software to the Control4 system, users now have
the option to access the system from an iPhone or an iPod Touch. The
hand-held interface is the same as on the Control4 family of touch
panels and on-screen interfaces, making navigation simple and familiar.
Users will have complete access to any aspect of the system including
security, lighting, temperature control, multi-room music, and home
theater control and more.
"Control4 will continue to partner with companies like Control UI to
deliver solutions like the new iPhone and iPod software application,"
said Will West, Chief Executive Officer of Control4. "As the platform
for the digital home, we are committed to providing affordable and
easy-to-use solutions for existing devices to offer flexibility and
choice for the growing broad market of automation customers."
The application, called My House UI for Control4, was developed by
Control UI, an authorized Control4 development partner.
"People depend on their mobile devices for communication and
entertainment, and we are very pleased to enable those same devices to
now control the home," said Chuck Hudson, co-founder of Control UI. "I
have been developing software for over 20 years, and the Control4
platform is one of the best I have ever worked with."
Control4 Dock for iPod: Accessing iPod content through the Control4
network is accomplished with the Control4 Dock for iPod. Plug in an
iPod or iPod Touch and all of the music loaded on the iPod can be
accessed throughout the home. The iPod's songs and playlists will
appear on all of the Control4 displays. Even video stored on the iPod
can be accessed locally and controlled with the Control4 system.
"Our goal at Control4 is to get the different devices and systems in
the home to work together better," said West. "By providing tight
integration for the iPod in the Control4 system, we make it easier for
users to enjoy personalized content, and we continue to expand our
offerings as the platform for the digital home."
