On the Account Services dialog, click Check In.

Select Activate. The subscription code appears in the Account Subscriptions area with an activation date.

Synchronize Subscriptions on the Controller


In order for the Controller to synchronize the newlyadded subscriptions entered into your my.control4.com account with the Controller, the Controller must check in with the Control4 Remote Access services. Controllers with a 4Sight subscription will check in approximately every 10 minutes. Controllers that are registered but do not have a valid 4Sight subscription automatically check in every 24 hours. To force the Controller to check-in immediately, do the following:

When the Status: indicator changes to Check in successful, the subscription information has been synchronized and the mobile devices can be authenticated.

Note: You must install the Control4 Driver Patch for Apple iPad before you can see the iPad driver in Composer and before you can identify the iPad to the Control4 system.

After successfully identifying your device in Composer, you can now enjoy convenient control of your Control4 system on your mobile device.

Troubleshooting
If you have trouble identifying your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, here are a few things to check: 1. Confirm that youve properly entered the Mobile Navigator License for your device in your my.control4.com account. See Activate the Mobile Navigator License for details. 2. Confirm that your Controller has learned of the Mobile Navigator License entered in my.control4.com. See Synchronize Subscriptions on the Controller for details. 3. Confirm that your mobile device is communicating on the same network in which your Control4 Controller is configured. You should have a WiFi Access Point (WAP) or router connected to and configured to operate on the same IP network or LAN as your Control4 Controller.
