Let's Make Beautiful Music Together  

With Control4's natively integrated Apple Music solution, Partners can offer customers a fully immersive audio experience through personalized scenes and automations, going beyond simply initiating a playlist stream. 

Let personalized and curated playlists accompany you throughout your day, from waking you up to helping you unwind effortlessly. Apple Music infuses every moment with a perfectly curated, ad-free soundtrack, transforming ordinary into extraordinary. 

To use Apple Music, the following are required: 

  • CORE Controller or Triad SA1�
  • Control4 OS 3.4.2+�
  • Connect plan/active 4Sight subscription �
  • Apple Music subscription (customers have the option to create a new Apple Music account during the setup process)�

Customers Ready to Enjoy Apple Music  

Shortly after launch, Control4 will send targeted content to customers who meet the requirements, along with step-by-step instructions for enjoying Apple Music. Customers can add Apple Music through Manage Music. Alternatively, partners can add it locally or remotely using Composer Pro or Composer Express. 

Customers One Step Short of Enjoying Apple Music  

A large number of customers have CORE and Connect/4Sight and only require an update to OS 3.4.2, which can be easily done remotely using OvrC. Keeping your customers up to date with the latest Control4 OS will ensure they are always ready for the newest features. After the update, you can use our Listen on Apple Music guide to announce Apple Music to them.
