About this app

Composer Express is a configuration tool exclusively for authorized Control4 partners that dramatically simplifies the install process, allowing partners to minimize their time at job sites and increase their productivity during system setup. For smaller projects, use Composer Express standalone to create accounts, define a system, and connect devices. For more advanced projects, use it as a companion to the full Composer Pro programming experience.

Key Features:
• Search for, view, and add new customer accounts under your dealership
• Register a controller to a customer account
• Service and update a customer system locally or remotely
• Add and identify a new controller into the project
• Search and add device drivers from an online database or personal cloud storage
• Set all project properties (date, time, timezone, location, locale & language, etc.)
• Discover and add SDDP and IP devices on a local network
• Setup and manage Zigbee networks and discover Zigbee devices
• Add and manage supported Z-Wave devices
• Update drivers on customer systems
• Create connections between devices (AV Inputs, AV Outputs, Control, and Room)
• Configure and set properties on device drivers
• Manage room settings for device visibility, display order, or hide the room entirely
• View Network status of all ZigBee (signal, battery, associated mesh controller)
• Backup customer projects
• Load customer projects (or project templates) from an online backup, USB drive, or Dropbox
• Refresh Navigators
• Assign a 4Sight license to a customer account
• Reports controller serial number to support OvrC integration

PLEASE NOTE:
1) Composer Express is available exclusively to authorized Control4 partners.
2) Partners can only access customers associated with their dealership.

Works fine for me on android 8 / lg v30 phone. Typically never bring my laptop any more to service calls, love this app! So far it seems that I only need my laptop for editing/creating custom drivers and initial set up. Pros Literally like zero pop ups asking me to renew, register, verify, incorrect firmware alerts, etc. It's a convenience and a half. Surely a laptop will be faster but if you forget your laptop or psu in the truck/shop this handy app saves you! Sometimes this app is actually better ! You get to avoid all the firmware version difference alerts and notifications composer pops up with. When you get to hundreds of customers you'll see what I mean. Cons 1) relocate the save/refresh navigator button to the same page as the device you are editing. 2) Possible issue with network discovery with older controller firmware? 3) Edit driver option Never really set up a controller start to finish on this app, so I can't comment on the registration process using this app. But this app is awesome for service calls.

I am pleased by the ease of use and sheer convenience this app presents. However, the lack of custom programming capability harms the usability of this app, and relagates it to the most basic of tasks. This app alone could be used as the reason to become a Control 4 dealer, and what the app does, it does extremely well. But I suppose Control 4 holds it back because of Composer Pro's exsistance, and the fact that if you could custom program on this app, there would be little reason to use pro.

I'm an Android user and it crashes every two clicks saying java error. I wish major corps such as snap would realize that the entire world does not work off iOS. So frustrating trying to service customers remotely without have to pull out my laptop for something that could be resolved by a simple app. Please fix this.
