HOW TO: Install Chowmain Control4 Drivers

NOTE: Licensed Chowmain drivers come with a complimentary 90-day trial period. To license the driver, installation of the Chowmain Project Agent is required. The Project Agent is also required for automatic driver updates. Throughout the 90-day trial period, Chowmain Drivers operate without any limitations. After this period, the driver will be disabled unless properly licensed.

All Chowmain Licensed drivers require a minimum of OS 3.1.3 to operate correctly unless specified.

  1. Visit: https://chowmain.software

  2. Search and locate your driver, and click into the details by clicking the picture or heading.

  3. Select Download. And extract the contents of the downloaded Zip file to a temporary directory

  4. Please note: For many drivers, it is no longer recommended to copy the contents of most modern drivers directly to your Control4/drivers directory. The recommended method of updating drivers or installing drivers is in Composer Pro, navigate to the Driver=>Add Or Update Driver Or Agent menu item.

  5. Locate the temporary directory containing your C4Z files. You can select and install/update all drivers simultaneously by selecting one and using Ctrl+A. Alternatively, click the top driver+shift+click the bottom. Click the open button. You will be alerted when drivers are installed

  6. Install drivers as per normal. Please note, some drivers may be agents, and you must use the Agents tab in Control4 to install the driver. Composer Express does not support Agents, and Composer pro is recommended for all installers.
