Control4 CORE Controllers are the engine powering the Control4 Platform and the foundation for any next-generation automation deployment. CORE offers IR, serial, contact, and relay ports for hardwire control, a network port for IP communication, plus Zigbee and Z-Wave antennas for wireless control. This enables customers to intuitively control their AV, lighting, scenes, comfort, security, surveillance and other smart devices.
CORE Controllers run the Control4 Platform faster and more efficiently, orchestrating device interactions to provide personalized automation experiences. With power to spare, these controllers are future-proofed for upcoming features and functionality.
CORE lite comes bundled with a Control4 remote to provide a single room solution that enables the full functionality of the Control4 Platform, while being attractively priced as the entry point to the Control4 Experience. CORE 1 is a compact solution that fits seamlessly anywhere, making it ideal for fully-functional single-room systems or room additions to existing projects.
For mid-sized projects, CORE 3 strikes the perfect balance between power and price. It offers multi-room audio capabilities, a full complement of IO control ports, and enhanced processing power. CORE 5 is a powerhouse designed to deliver the ultimate automation experience. With its ability to coordinate hundreds of smart devices and its high-quality audio output, it exceeds expectations and provides unmatched performance.
CORE Series prides itself on its high-quality DACs, which enable up to 7 independent, simultaneous streams of high-resolution audio (192KHz/24bit-depth).
