Control4 Shows Proof-of-Concept Car-Based Control Using SmartDeviceLink Software

Control4 is hitting the road. The company is showing at CES a proof-of-concept based on Livio SmartDeviceLink (SDL) open-source software that integrates smart home functionality with connected cars. Control4 is showing smart home integration using an Android smartphone and a Toyota head-up display with an app that manages smart home devices from the driver’s seat. The app can initiate scenes such as “away,” which could close the garage door, turn off lights, arm the security system and set back the temperature, the company said. The demo is in Livio’s booth 4230 in Tech East, North Hall.
