ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE
FOR THE MOST DEMANDING INSTALLS

The CA-10 Automation Controller is built for big jobs, delivering 4x the processing power and memory of the EA-5 to provide great performance even when controlling thousands of devices. The CA-10 is also fault tolerant, engineered with multiple fail-safes to keep the system running even if a power supply, network port, solid-state drive (SSD), or fan fails. Fail-over notifications are also available through programming events so the system can automatically notify the dealer.

GETTING STARTED
WITH AUTOMATION

The CA-1 Automation Controller is designed to help you unlock new opportunities with more customers at a great starting price. It is perfect for smart home experiences built around lighting, HVAC, IP cameras, door locks, shades, and other IoT devices—for customers interested in automation outside of the AV space. It includes a high-performance ZigBee radio and can be powered over PoE, so it’s a great tool to expand ZigBee networks in larger Control4 installations.
