3. The colored buttons are device specific. You can have your installer assign two (2) different

programs per button if the devices are different. Example: Assign the red button to change the

channel on the TV when you're using your TV, and have the same button assigned to Skip

Forward when you're using your DVD player.

4. You can assign the */. or #/- buttons to a specific action too. These buttons are at the bottom of

the remote.

5. Do you want other buttons programmed by room, for example, keypad buttons?

6. Make a list of the buttons you want to change, and what you want them to do. Note what each

button does for future reference.

5.3 Composer HE Overview

If you’d like to take control over some automation tasks in your home and not have to call your dealer

every time you have a problem or questions, use the Control4 system Composer HE (Home Edition)

software to customize and program your home system (sold separately). This optional software

product installs on your PC. Read about the features below, and then if you'd like to purchase this

product, contact your dealer.

Composer HE is a powerful tool you can use to:

 Customize your Control4 system

 from a Windows PC on your home's local network or

 from any Internet-connected Windows PC (this capability requires a Control4 4Sight

subscription to use Anywhere Access).

 Monitor and control your

 lights,

 thermostat,

 security system,

 and other devices from your PC.

 Configure the Control4 devices on your system to

 set LED colors on dimmers, switches, and keypads;

 set the ramp rates and the default lighting levels of your dimmers;

 set your Control4 Wireless Thermostat schedule;

 program the device-specific buttons on your System Remote Control.

 Scan and manage your digital music and DVD collections.

 Configure your system using intelligent scenes and agents:

 Use the Media Scenes agent to tie together the audio source selection, volume control,

and on/off state of multiple rooms so that they work as one.

 Use the E-mail Notification agent in programming to notify you when events happen on

your system.

 Create and modify Lighting Scenes customized to your specific needs.

Note: With OS 2.3.0 or later, you can create and edit lighting scenes or ramp and fade

scenes (OS 2.5.0 or later) on your touch screens or MyHomePC.

 Use the Scheduler agent to program events based on date, time of day, and

sunrise/sunset. This is handy, for example, when you’re on vacation and you want the

lights to come on at sunset and go off at midnight.
