This New Software License Extends to PC/Laptops
January 11, 2011

At CES last week Control4 announced MyHome, a family of software apps that allows consumers to access and control lighting, temperature, music, movies, energy, security and more from a wide range of devices in Control4-enabled homes.

An evolution of the current My Home for iPhone and My House for iPad apps and the Mobile Navigator license, the new MyHome family features:
• A new app for PCs and tablet devices that allows virtually any laptop, desktop or tablet device that is capable of running Flash to be used as an interface for managing a Control4 system.
• Next-generation apps for both the iPad and iPhone/iPod Touch.

While the apps are free from iTunes, in order to activate the apps, you must purchase an enabling license. Control4 MyHome features a new licensing structure designed to provide customers greater flexibility in meeting their UI needs.
• Device License: A device license is attached to any supported individual device. If you purchase a device license for an iPhone, and then switch to an iPad your license will be transferred to the iPad and the functionality will no longer be available on the iPhone. Or, if you have a license for your desktop PC and switch to a laptop, the license can be transferred from the desktop PC to your new laptop.
• Site License: A site license enables functionality on any number of devices, of any combination. There is no limit to the number of devices using the MyHome application that can be attached to a project.

The above licenses will be available starting January 17th. The Device License retails for $199, white the site license will sell for $499.

By turning existing smart phones, tablets and PCs into additional interfaces, Control4 MyHome offers homeowners an affordable way to access and manage their system. The Control4 user interface is consistent on every device. Just as dedicated touch screens are ideal in locations such as the kitchen or by the front door because they can't wander away, Control4 MyHome is an affordable and flexible choice for anywhere in the house.

In a Control4-enabled smart home, Control4 MyHome allows users to manage their system over any WiFi network, with unique security features that identify and authenticate their Control4 system to their iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, PC or tablet.

Note support for devices running the Android operating system is planned for a future release.
