Battery Agent Webview
The Battery Agent has provided home owners with battery states, notifications and alerts that help monitor the home's battery powered devices. Now with the latest version of the Battery Agent the home owner will be able to view the status of the batteries and execute battery related actions through a sleek dashboard.
The new Battery Agent dashboard is now available on both native Control4 touchscreens as well as the Control4 mobile apps (iOS and Android). In addition to viewing battery states by room, the dashboard provides the home owner the ability to scan battery levels in the project at any time (normally this happens once a day) and to clear any alerts that are currently triggered.
Moreover, the Battery Agent can be programmed to notify the dealership and/or the home owner of necessary maintenance before the devices lose all power. And if you ever add another battery powered device after installing the driver the device will be auto detected without any intervention from the dealer or home owner.
We hope you enjoy our new and improved Control4 driver found here:
To save money and add other cool features to your projects, consider purchasing the Battery Agent as part of the Agent Bundle.
Update: Sense Mobile
Since the release of the Sense driver for Control4 we've heard great reviews but there was always something missing: a mobile version of the interface
NOW, the same clean and easy to use interface that our customers were enjoying through their Control4 touchscreen is available through the Control4 mobile app.
The Control4 Sense user interface provides the home owner with a simplified view of energy consumption as compared to the native app. The items shown on the interface provide a condensed yet complete overview of the current as well as historical energy expenditure. If solar is connected to the Sense energy monitor the application will also display energy production information alongside the consumption data.
Below are screenshots of each section of the interface as displayed on Control4 touchscreens and mobile phones.
HOME:
Shows live consumption (and production, if applicable) information alongside a list of devices found in the smart home. Selecting a device from the list will take the user to the devices page to view more information about the selected device.
SOLAR:
This section is only displayed if the Sense energy monitor is connected with the solar energy production system. Both current and historical data can be viewed here.
TRENDS:
Here the user can find a summary of consumption (and production, if applicable) data collected by the Sense monitor. The data can be filtered using Day, Week, Month, and Year buttons.
DEVICES:
Sense energy monitor uses machine learning in order to detect devices found in the home. This page will list all devices found in the home as well as allow the user to see current and historical data related to the selected device.
Sense helps homeowners understand their home's energy, and get a view into their home they can’t get anywhere else. Paired with the Control4 smart home customers can monitor power consumption and solar production, get personalized alerts and view energy directly from both their touchscreen and mobile interface.
Cindev has recently updated the Unifi Network Controller driver and with it the Control4 user interface due to recent updates to the UniFi API. Make sure to download the latest driver as well as dashboard to stay up to date!
