Reliable Remote Power Management for Control4 Installations
Many service calls in a smart home start with a frozen modem, router or streamer. Add a NETIO PowerCable 2KB behind the TV or in the rack, load the NETIO Pro driver for Control4 from Intrinsic Dev, and switch, restart and monitor each outlet from Control4, or let the PDU restart an unresponsive device on its own.

Why NETIO + Control4?
Fewer truck rolls
Restart a frozen media player or network device remotely instead of sending a technician.
Compact installation
The flat PowerCable 2KB fits behind a TV or on a rack shelf, with two NEMA outlets on short cables.
Feedback in Control4
The Pro driver adds on/off status feedback and energy monitoring on metering models.
Self-healing
The PDU’s Ping WatchDog can power-cycle a modem automatically when it stops responding, even if Control4 can’t reach it.
Remote restart instead of a service visit
A client reports that the media player in the home theater has frozen. Instead of scheduling a visit, the integrator restarts that outlet through the client’s Control4 system and the player is back in a minute. The modem is on the second outlet of the same PowerCable 2KB, with Ping WatchDog enabled, so an internet outage that would also block remote access is handled automatically.
