Power Agent, Adapt, and Updates to Sonnen
CINEGRATION DEVELOPMENT AT CEDIA
CinDev will be at the sonnen booth for an open forum on Control4 integration with sonnen. We will be answering your questions and discussing design ideas for integrating energy automation with Control4.
Stop by Booth #3547 at 3:00 PM MST on September 12!
INTRODUCING THE POWER AGENT!
Use Control4 3.0 to create power dashboards for racks and other devices!
The Power Agent is a relay control driver that allows customers to power on/off devices and provides excellent troubleshooting services - all with sleek, user-friendly icons to represent each device. The driver gives customers a great power control dashboard for PDU brands like Wattbox, Pakedge, Panamax, etc.
Looking to take your smart home to the next level? Energy Automation is here and is taking the home automation industry into the future. The Power Agent is also used to support features like circuit and appliance control from Control4 systems. Manufactures like sonnen, Lumin, Eaton and ADAPT use this software to control power in the home. This driver can even communicate with the sonnen ecoLinx driver to support energy saving solutions!
The Power Agent can be purchased at DriverCentral!
Driver Highlights:
Simple integration of power devices into Control4
Control a single outlet, relay, circuit or appliance per driver
Power On, Off, Toggle and Cycle actions
Power options via composer, navigator and director actions
Auto hide in all rooms except room driver was added, making installation fast and simple
Automatic push notification support enabled
Supports Cinegration Developments feature rich notification services (Email, Push, Voice, Popup)
DriverCentral Trial and Showroom license compatible
UPDATES TO THE SONNEN ECOLINX DRIVER
We made some exciting updates to our sonnen driver! With better weather integration and a fresh new look for Control4 OS3, the sonnen EcoLinx driver is better than ever!
The sonnen ecoLinx driver uses weather forecast data to dynamically modify the ecoLinx’s backup reserve setting. Why is this important? If the energy automation system detects a severe thunderstorm warning in the user’s area, the system will automatically increase the ecoLinx unit’s energy reserve percentage 100% to prepare the user for the incoming storm and potential loss of grid power. This feature has been improved by utilizing Dark Sky for weather data, which provides better analytics and access to multiple sources of weather data.
The sonnen driver has new icons! We gave sonnen's standard on, gridloss, offline, and alert icons a fresh new look to go along with OS 3.0. The icons are now simplified and feature colors that mirror what you see on the actual sonnen batterie when these events occur.
We also added Energy Profile buttons to the sonnen driver!
These buttons represent scenes or modes the home and energy system can be set to. Have a customer that wants a setting for Summer, Winter, Home, and Away? Simply add 4 of the Energy Profile buttons to the home and label them accordingly. Each button can be a different color to help customers distinguish between actions.
The Energy Profile buttons can trigger a number of 'then' actions like notifications (push, email, voice, and navigator popups), announcements, lighting scenes, battery reserve levels, power on/off devices, and advanced solutions through Composer programming.

CINEGRATION DEVELOPMENT'S ADAPT DRIVER
The Adapt Energy driver communicates directly to the ADAPT Panel allowing Control4 systems to communicate to energy storage systems and control/monitor energy circuits in the home. The ADAPT collects data about energy usage, configures the energy storage system, uses smart breakers during power outages and peak demand times, and automates individual devices to shed energy consumption.
