Control4 Driver - Visual Navigator

VISUALIZE YOUR SECURITY

Control4 Visual Navigator is a unique driver from Janus Technology that allows you to view and control the state of devices across your entire home from any Control4 UI!

Utilising Control4's webview technology, Visual Navigator can display the state of all sensors, relays, lights, cameras and security partitions in your project on a floorplan of your site - while allowing control of all drivers from a familiar interface.

Visual Navigator uses the concept of layers. Each layer corresponds to a distinct set of driver types within your Control4 project (e.g. Sensors, Lighting, Security, Comfort...). 

WEBVIEW COMPATIBLITY

The webview interface is compatible with any Control4 UI. This includes T3/T4 touchscreens, and the iOS and Android apps*.

You can also view the interface from any browser by navigating to the following URL, substituting in the IP address of your main processor;
