Snap One Announces 'Generational Refresh' of Control4 Hardware

In a “generational refresh,” Snap One is shipping the Core Series of Control4 controllers, coinciding with the release of Control4 OS 3.3.0. The software update includes shortcuts in Composer Pro, support for Apple Watch, integration of color and color temperature into the Control4 platform with user interface controls, color selection and ramping available to lighting scenes, the company emailed Wednesday. Control4 also updated apps for iOS and Android to enable faster connection speeds for customers using the app while on the go, it said. The Core 1, Core 3 and Core 5 have infrared, serial, IP, contact, relay and Zigbee ports; the Core 3 and 5 have an external Z-Wave antenna that will be enabled after it completes the certification process, Control4 said. The series has OvrC Pro inside for network monitoring and remote troubleshooting.
