March 9, 2024

Control4 Halo and Halo Touch remotes provide a more streamlined interface with greater reliability and improved user experiences. Following the over-the-air update to v1.7, all Halo and Halo Touch remotes gain a redesigned lighting page that offers faster control, longer battery life, improved Wi-Fi stability, access to custom buttons from their system and a convenient “What’s New” page that explains new features right on the remote itself. Users can precisely control light dimming and ceiling fan speed using sliders on the list view and color control pages, without needing to navigate to individual devices. With the addition of custom buttons, the remote control experience mirrors that of the Control4 mobile app or touchscreen interfaces, making all existing custom buttons available on the remotes. Custom buttons can be used to execute scenes, macros or any programming events within Control4. Users can create up to six custom buttons on each of four menus, offering 24 unique actions that can combine lighting, audio, video, window shades, HVAC and more to offer instant control of fully customized environments.
