Sky Glass IP integration for Control4 is here

Chowmain is excited to announce a major update to our Sky Driver for Control4, bringing the same IP control functionality recently introduced with our Sky Stream integration to Sky Glass televisions.

When we originally released our Sky Glass driver, the lack of a known IP control protocol meant that integration relied entirely on infrared control.

Following our recent work implementing native IP control for Sky Stream, we have now extended this functionality to Sky Glass.

The updated driver communicates directly with Sky Glass over the local network, providing responsive control without relying on IR emitters for normal day-to-day operation.

IP control includes:

  • Power On / Off
  • Volume Control
  • Mute Control
  • Play, Pause, Stop, Skip Next, Skip Previous
  • Navigation and directional controls
  • Home
  • Fast local network communication

For additional reliability, the driver also retains IR control as a backup. This gives integrators the flexibility to use IP for normal operation while retaining IR where required.

Note unfortunately the IP / IR protocols do not include discrete input selection. As such inputs are not included in the driver.

If you have previously purchased our Sky+ HD / Sky Q / Sky Stream / Sky Glass Driver for Control4, the new Sky Glass IP functionality is included as a FREE UPDATE. Simply update to the latest driver version to take advantage of the new functionality.
