IF THE CONTROL4 APP SAYS 'NO ROOMS FAVORITED'
Because of the size of the screen, the Apple Watch cannot display the pages that you see in the Control4 App for iPhone. The Control4 App on the Apple Watch will only show:
- Rooms that you have Favorited
- Devices that have been Favorited
- Media that has been Favorited
However, Favorited Media has to execute an audio stream for it to display on the Apple Watch. For Example, if you favorite an Album, a Track or a Playlist, those buttons will appear on the Apple Watch. Favorites that take you to a page will not show up on the Apple Watch. For example, if you Favorited the Playlist Page, or an Album Page, they will not show up on the Apple Watch.
In order to enjoy the Control4 App on the Apple Watch when you are away from home, an active subscription to 4Sight or Connect is required.
Have your Favorites at your fingertips with your Apple Watch, from Control4!
