To complete device support using Composer Pro for a Control4 system, every device requires a
corresponding driver.
To add a device to the Control4 system that does not have a supporting driver, use the built-in Driver
Creation wizard in Composer Pro to create the driver prior to adding the device.
To use the Driver Wizard from the Driver menu:
Select Create New Driver. See “Menu Options” in
Composer Pro Getting Started for details.
The Driver Creation wizard (or Driver Wizard) lets you add device support to the system, including
support for:
• Infrared (IR)-Controlled — Devices that are controlled using wireless remotes. Commands
are sent via pulses of infrared light to the device.
Examples of IR-controlled devices: receivers, televisions, plasma screens, projectors,
DVD/CD players, DVD/CD changers, VCRs, satellites, cable boxes, DVRs, tuners,
audio/video switches, amplifiers, blinds, and other specialized equipment.
• Serial-Controlled — Devices are controlled via a serial connection (RS-232, RS-422, or RS-
485) to the Controller hardware, for example, a Home Controller HC-300. Serial-controlled
devices often control a device at a higher level than IR-controlled devices.
Examples of serial-controlled devices: projectors, multi-disc DVD changers, and other serial-
controlled devices.
