Customize your system
You can customize your system in lots of ways. Your dealer can help you set up
your devices and fine-tune your system to suit your personal taste.
• If you’re a “do-it-yourselfer,” you can use programs on a Windows
computer (Composer Media Edition or Composer Home Edition) to
change some system settings. You can download these apps from your
Control4 account (Composer HE purchased separately). See “About
Composer ME” or “About Composer HE” (below) for details.
• Custom home screen templates let you create your own custom home
page on your touch screens and on-screen Navigators. See “Add a custom
home page” later in this guide (not available on Control4 apps).

About Composer HE
Your dealer will set up and customize your system the way you want, but if you
need further customization without your dealer’s help, purchase ComposerHE
(sold separately) for your PC. Check with your dealer for details.
Here are some ways to customize your system with ComposerHE:
• Scan and manage your digital music and DVD media collections.
• Create and edit lighting scenes according to what you want.
• Create your own wakeup scenes to get you out of bed in the morning. Tie
the scene to lights, TV, music, and more for a great way to start a pleasant
morning.
• Use your computer to monitor and change settings, or control your lights,
thermostat, security system, or other devices.
• Set LED colors on dimmers, switches, and keypads, and set the ramp
rates and the default levels of dimmers.
• Set your thermostat schedule and set points.
• Program buttons on your remote.
• Tie together the audio source selection, volume control, and on/o state
of multiple rooms so they work as one zone (Media Scenes agent).
• Set up email notifications for Control4 system events (Email Notification
agent).
• Program events based on date, time of day, sunrise/sunset, and more
(Scheduler agent).
• Customize intercom activities on your camera-enabled touch screens and
door stations (Intercom agent).
• Create system programs to tie your device actions together, and define
variables to make your programming even more versatile.
For more information about these programs, check with your Control4 Dealer
and see the ComposerHE User Guide at ctrl4.co/cdocs .
