Naming the Wireless Music Bridge

The Wireless Music Bridge can be given a unique 
name, called the device-friendly name. This name is 
used by AirPlay, DLNA and Bluetooth to help the user 
see the Wireless Music Bridge on their smartphone/
tablet. Each Wireless Music Bridge can be given a 
unique device-friendly name to help associate it 
with a given room or individual. The installer should 
determine the appropriate name by discussing it 
with their customer. Assign the device-friendly name 
in the driver Properties tab in Composer Pro under 
Device Name.

The Wireless Music Bridge device-friendly name is 
unique and is not directly associated to the driver 
name. The device-friendly name is used by the 
AirPlay, DLNA and Bluetooth client, whereas the 
driver name is used by the Control4 system. The 
installer should consider naming the driver and the 
device-friendly name in a similar manner so the user 
is not confused when looking at their touch screens 
and on-screen displays.

For Bluetooth, the device-friendly name is appended 
with a -BT. This allows devices, such as iPhone, to 
uniquely distinguish between AirPlay and Bluetooth 
connectivity. If Bluetooth is not used, the installer 
should disable the Bluetooth radio in the Properties 
tab of Composer Pro.

New Features

The Wireless Music Bridge has two new features that 
enable the Wireless Music Bridge to Auto-start and 
turn-off a room automatically. 

•  The 

Automatic Room(s) Selection

 property in 

Composer Pro lets the installer select which 
room(s) will start when a smartphone/tablet 
connects and starts streaming music to the 
Control4 System.  The 

Auto-Start

 feature will 

only start a room if a media source is NOT 
already selected.   If a media source is selected in 
the desired room, the Wireless Music Bridge will 
NOT overtake the source. 

•  The 

Automatic

 

Room(s)-off

 will automatically 

turn off the selected room(s) when the 
smartphone/tablet stops streaming music to the 
Wireless Music Bridge.   

Both properties will cycle through the selected 
room(s) and make sure a different media source is 
not playing. After that, it will then start or turn off the 
room(s) as appropriate.

Simple Device Discovery Protocol (SDDP)

This device uses SDDP (Simple Device Discovery 
Protocol). After you connect the device and 
power it on, start Composer Pro and add the 
Wireless Music Bridge driver to a room in the 
project.

Make the necessary connections in the 
Connections view. 

For information about SDDP, configuring the driver, 
or making connections, see the 

Composer Pro User 

Guide

 on the dealer portal for details. Also see
