The Control4 C4-V-AUX-WH is a versatile, single-gang auxiliary keypad designed to extend the control capabilities of a Control4 smart home automation system into any room. This device provides a clean, minimalist interface with customizable buttons that allow users to trigger scenes, control specific loads, or activate macros without needing to use a touchscreen or mobile app. Finished in white to match standard Decora-style wall plates, it integrates seamlessly into residential interiors, offering a tactile, permanent control point for lighting, audio, climate, and other integrated subsystems. Its primary function is to offer convenient, localized access to the most frequently used smart home commands, enhancing daily convenience and system usability.

Each of the six buttons on the keypad can be independently programmed by a Control4 dealer using Composer Pro software. These buttons can be configured to control a single device (like turning a light on/off), launch a complex scene (such as "Movie Mode" which dims lights, lowers shades, and starts the home theater), or cycle through different states. The buttons feature soft, backlit LEDs that provide visual feedback, confirming a press and indicating the status of connected devices—for example, showing which lights are on or which audio source is active. This programmable nature makes the keypad highly adaptable to the specific needs and routines of the homeowner.

Installation is straightforward for a certified installer, involving connection to standard low-voltage wiring within a wall box. The keypad communicates with the main Control4 controller over a wired ZigBee mesh network (using Control4's proprietary mesh protocol), ensuring a robust and responsive connection that does not rely on the home's Wi-Fi. As part of the larger Control4 ecosystem, this auxiliary keypad acts as both a control point and a ZigBee repeater, strengthening the overall mesh network. By providing an intuitive, hardwired interface for everyday interactions, the C4-V-AUX-WH enhances the accessibility and reliability of a sophisticated smart home system.
