Control4� Connect is Now Required on all New Control4 Systems�

All new Control4 systems installed in the U.S. now require Control4 Connect and must be registered through OvrC. 

Here are some key points to remember: 

  • The controller registration process has shifted to OvrC�, which offers more efficiency and security. This will require a one-time mapping of your Control4 and OvrC accounts and include advanced features such as temporary credentials for the Control4 app and the customer handoff process. If your accounts are not linked, check out this tutorial.�
  • Connect changes the way systems are registered and updated. 
  • No new systems can be registered through Composer Pro, Composer Express, my.control4.com, or customer.control4.com.
