Control4

Control4 is a smart home and building automation platform, now part of Snap One / ADI Global (Resideo), headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. It unifies control of lighting, audio/video, home theater, climate, security, shades, and voice across residential and commercial spaces through a single interface on smartphones, touchscreens, and on-wall keypads. Control4 is delivered through a network of certified integrators rather than direct-to-consumer sales, and interoperates with more than 25,000 third-party devices. For developers it offers the DriverWorks SDK (a Lua-based framework for building device drivers), the Control4 Developer Portal for OAuth application registration against the Control4 cloud, and public first-party libraries on GitHub.

Control4 is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, IoT, Smart Home, Home Automation, and Building Automation.

Control4’s developer surface includes documentation, engineering blog, support, signup flow, and 10 more developer resources.
