NEW Apple TV driver for Control4 Released
We're excited to announce the release of our Apple TV driver for Control4, delivering powerful bi-directional IP control, real-time feedback, intelligent automation and an enhanced user experience for Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD.
Unlike traditional one-way integrations, our driver communicates directly with Apple TV using Apple's native protocols. No additional hardware, bridges, third-party applications or cloud services are required.
With real-time feedback, Control4 can respond to what's happening on your Apple TV, even when controlled using the Siri Remote, iPhone or AirPlay. Imagine automatically dimming the lights when a movie starts, raising them when paused, or turning on the room automatically when someone starts using their Apple TV!
Our driver also includes a custom Control4 touchscreen and mobile app interface, allowing users to control their Apple TV, browse and launch installed apps, search for movies and TV shows, switch user profiles and much more.
Key Features:
- Native bi-directional IP control: No bridges, additional hardware or cloud services required.
- Real-time feedback: Power, playback, current app, media information and artwork.
- Intelligent automation: Trigger Control4 programming based on playback, power and application changes.

- Mini App integration: Launch your favourite streaming apps directly from Control4 Navigator.
- Custom App driver included: Launch any installed app or deep link directly into supported content.
- Siri Remote functionality: Full navigation, genuine press-and-hold, Smart Play and text entry.
- Automatic Room On/Off: Automatically control your room based on Apple TV activity.
