Increased language support coming to Control4 app

Home automation developers Control4 has added 19 more languages to its popular MyHome application for Android devices.

The arrival of the MyHome for Android versions 2.1 to 4.0 means that more smart homeowners than ever using Control4′s systems can program in their ideal living conditions.

Such customisable features in the app include the ability to control lighting, temperature, security, music, movies and other entertainment devices, reports Automated Home.

Non-English speaking Android customers will also join the ranks of Apple iPad and iPod users, of which Control4 also builds apps for.

However, all users are warned that they must contact a Control4 dealer after downloading the app, as they are the only people authorised to enable the connected features, says Control4.com.

Users can either opt for a single-use ‘Device License’, allowing just one tablet, mobile or PC to do the tinkering, or a ‘Site License’, which enables “any number” of supported devices to function as an interface when they are connected to a single Control4 system.

The languages update is set to hit the market at the end of February. The supported languages will include: Chinese (simplified and traditional), Czech, English, French, German, German Swiss, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Thai, Turkish and Ukrainian.
