New Driver Enables Control4 Users to Arm/Disarm Ring Alarm, React to Events, and Manage Cameras from a Unified Interface
PHOENIX — Sept. 4, 2025 — Blackwire Designs, a leading distributor in the custom installation and Pro AV markets, today announced the release of its latest driver, Ring Control & Events Pro for Control4. The new software delivers robust integration of Ring Alarm and select Ring cameras into Control4 systems, allowing users to control, monitor, and automate their Ring devices all from the familiar Control4 interface.
“Ring Control & Events Pro for Control4 bridges the gap between two of the smart home industry’s most recognized platforms,” said Kevin Luther, owner of Blackwire Designs. “Installers can now offer seamless, premium security automation for Control4 projects of any scale, while end users enjoy fast, familiar control of their Ring devices as part of their luxury home system.”
For dealers, the new driver translates into a premium, unified experience that stands out in today’s competitive market. With advanced programming possible using Ring alarm triggers, sensors, and camera peripherals, dealers can now offer expanded security automation and custom scenes that actively alert and protect their clients. Fully integrating Ring products into the Control4 ecosystem helps drive customer satisfaction, making it easier to sell upgrades or new solutions to homeowners already invested in Ring.
The driver enables full control of Ring Alarm modes and in-depth monitoring of sensor events directly within the Control4 environment. Users benefit from real-time camera snapshots, which provide instant situational awareness by displaying still images from Ring cameras directly in the Control4 app or touch panels. The driver also enhances camera utility by allowing users to instantly activate Ring Floodlight Camera and Ring Spotlight Camera lights and sirens, offering seamless control directly from the Control4 system, keypads, and more for greater convenience and flexibility.
Installation is streamlined with automatic device discovery and configuration, greatly accelerating setup times while minimizing the risk of configuration errors. This allows integrators to deliver polished, reliable systems while reducing labor and follow-up support.
The driver’s extensible architecture ensures ongoing compatibility with future Ring enhancements, positioning integrators as trusted partners capable of delivering security solutions that grow with homeowners’ evolving needs. Planned future updates will add support for video streaming, motion zones, and two-way communication, ensuring long-term value and flexibility.
Blackwire’s Ring Control & Events Pro for Control4 is available now. More information about Blackwire is available at www.blackwiredesigns.com.
