Apple Music Now Integrates With Control4
Snap One, now part of ADI, has announced an integration partnership with Apple Music, unleashing even more streaming audio variety to enjoy throughout the home, all accessible and controllable via Control4’s customizable architecture and range of intuitive user interfaces. Control4 Partners now have the ability to infuse Apple Music into scenes, routines, and automation with the touch of a button, voice command, automatically via schedule, wake up, and many more.
Control4’s audio capabilities enhance the clarity and dimensionality of Apple Music’s top-tier features, including Listen Now. Along with the Control4 app, users can also select their favorite media and access playback controls through an Apple Watch.
Using the intuitive Control4 interface, customers can browse through the curated mixes, recommended playlists, and their own personal music library. EQ controls cater to your personalized listening styles, and the Sessions page provides easy media transfer, sharing and control across multiple zones.
Through the Control4 platform, professionally programmed scenes enable customized experiences that include Control4 lighting, shades, and temperature control to complement the music selection and ambiance.
For example, per the Control4 operating system, one personally curated Apple Music playlist could start streaming through the bedroom speakers as the Wakeup scene executes, while a different predetermined Apple Music Recommended For You Mix can stream to speakers in the kitchen at 8:00 AM sharp to keep you on time as you go through your morning routine.
The integration of Apple Music is available to new and legacy Control4 customers with a Snap One Control4 CORE controller or Triad SA1 Streaming Amplifier, the latest Control4 OS 3.4.2 software, an active Connect or 4Sight subscription, and an Apple Music subscription. This new feature was developed using officially published Software Development Kits (SDKs) and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to ensure seamless integration and simple setup for Snap One Partners.
Once live, customers will be able to add Apple Music through their systems via Manage Music, or Partners can add it remotely or locally via Composer Pro or Composer Express.
