automated in the Home-Automation System (site > building > floors > rooms > devices) and the

devices that reside in each room.

x Create a plan. Creating a plan prior to creating your project in Composer Pro will help make

your design go much more smoothly.

x Choose the design method to use. Composer Pro provides two (2) methods for building

and editing a project.

x Easy Method (Interviewer wizard): The easiest way to create a project is using the built-

in Composer Pro wizard called Interviewer Wizard, which is available by selecting Run

Interview from the File menu in Composer Pro. Note: This method is not recommended

for advanced projects.

x Flexible Method (System Design view): The most flexible method to use is the default

System Design view (preferred by most trained Installers) where you can view the project

tree as you build the design.

5. Make and test the connections. In the Composer Pro project, you must identify all of the

physical connections to the system: control, AV (audio, video), network, and other connections.

You can use the Interviewer wizard or the Composer Pro views to complete this task.

6. Register the system. Control4 recommends that you register each system you install at

my.control4.com to maintain the system software through online downloads.

IMPORTANT: Only registered systems can use all of the media services available. System

registration is one of the essential steps in enabling remote access to the system (requires a

4Sight subscription) for repairs, updates, additions, management, etc.
