Devices

A device is a Control4 controller that's registered to your organization. A controller registers itself when the Anvil Agent is installed on it, and from then on it's a target you can deploy drivers to with the CLI.

tip

Managing devices requires the owner or admin role.

The Devices page​

The organization-level Devices page lists every controller registered to your organization, with its name, address, and status (for example Active or Revoked). The driverforge device commands work against this same list — driverforge device list shows these controllers and driverforge device select chooses which one the CLI deploys to.

The Devices page listing controllers with their status and the per-device actions menu.

Renaming a device​

Controllers register with a system-generated name; give yours something memorable.

  1. On the Devices page, open the ⋯ menu for the device and choose Rename.
  2. Enter a new name and save.

Revoking a device​

Revoking cuts off a controller's access — it can no longer send telemetry or accept deploys until it re-registers.

  1. Open the ⋯ menu for the device and choose Revoke device.
  2. Confirm in the dialog.

A revoked controller shows a Revoked status. You can Remove a revoked device to delete it from the list entirely.

Device limits​

Your plan sets how many active controllers your organization can have. If you hit the limit, revoke a controller you no longer use or upgrade.
