4.3 Setting Up Remote Access

Use a Control4 Navigator to set up Remote Access. This feature lets you access your Control4

system for updates using the Internet from a remote location. Note: You can also set up Remote

Access when you create an account at my.control4.com.

4.3.1 Prerequisites

1. Register the system at my.control4.com.

2. Control4 recommends that a 4Sight subscription be set up for remote access (subscription sold

separately).

3. This process can be completed by the Installer or homeowner as long as the system has been

registered at

my.control4.com.

4.3.2 Procedures

To set up Remote Access for releases earlier than OS 2.0:

1. At one of the Navigators, select Info (releases earlier than OS 2.0).

2. Select Remote Access.

3. Select Remote Access > Activate.

To set up Remote Access for OS 2.0 and later:

1. At one of the Touch Screens or On-Screen Navigators, select More > Settings.

2. Select Remote Access.

3. Select Remote Access > Enabled.

Note 1: After you enable remote access, if the user has a 4Sight subscription for this system, then the

user can enter their email address and password, and securely log in to their Control4 home network

from any Internet connection in the world. When the user logs in, the homeowner can use the Web

Navigator to monitor and control their lights, change their temperature (warm or cool the home

remotely), or check whether any doors or windows were left open. You or the user can refer to this

Internet information in the Control4 System User Guide, Rev. G (OS 2.0).

Note 2: If this system and Controller are registered on my.control4.com, the system is accessible for

remote access (without a 4Sight subscription) after a request by the Control4 Installer or Control4

Technical Support has been made to access the system on my.control4.com AND the system user

(Installer or homeowner) instructs the Controller to “check in.” The homeowner can do this from the

Navigator’s Remote Access page. The Installer can set up a “Check In” from Composer using Tools >

Account Services menu option.
