Introduction

The Control4® HC-800 Controller (HC-800) provides

ways to control lights, home theaters, whole-

home music and video systems, and other devices

controlled by IP, infrared (IR), Serial, Contact, or Relay

connections. The Controller has a fast processor,

built-in WiFi, HDMI for audio and video, improved

ZigBee radio, and more.

The HC-800 also provides extensive media

management support for audio and video content,

including CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, or digital media

stored in connected devices. You can use an external

storage device with USB, NAS, or eSATA connectivity,

and it supports multi-zone audio capabilities, sending

music to various rooms in the home. The device can

be stacked with AV devices or rack-mounted using

the optional rack ears.

After you install and conﬁgure the HC-800 (using

the Composer Pro software) along with the other

system components, your customers can control their

system using the On-Screen Navigator, the MyHome

app, System Remote Controls, Touch Screens, or any

other Control4-supported interface devices (sold

separately).
