If you build mixed-vendor projects, the Control4 integration lets users place calls, open doors, and monitor feeds from their C4 panel—tightening the smart-home story without custom glue code . For simple automation, connect akubela’s RSAC-C1-R8 relay controller so residents can toggle lights or curtains from the indoor monitor or the SmartPlus App .
To speed troubleshooting, use Network Detection directly on supported monitors. Tap Diagnose, let the test finish, then review details to identify the bottleneck. Current support includes S567, S565, S563, S562, and C316 with the latest firmware. For lobby or kiosk scenarios, App Lock hides third-party apps behind a passcode—available on C316 and S563 with current firmware .
You can also choose which settings entries appear on device from the web interface under Device, Display Setting, Settings Page Display—supported on S567, S563, and C316 (PDF p.28). Finally, decide how Management Center shows up: on SmartPlus Cloud, the PM App and guard phone R49 can appear as Management Center, or you can disable that and show them separately. On SDMC deployments, SDMC appears as Management Center unless you turn it off. Supported models include S567, S563, S562, and C313.
Recent firmware highlights worth noting in proposals: S539 adds Mifare Plus SL3 card reading; X915 V2 gains video storage; X912 adds SR01 web upgrade, local holiday schedules, and event logs; S532 adds Turkish and Self-organizing support; R29 adds Italian and visitor-friendly recognition; S567 adds video storage and Bluetooth audio channels; S562 supports RSAC-C1-R8 and Management Center controls; S560 adds speed-dial; A094 adds break-in intrusion.
Bottom line: easier integration stories, better diagnostics, and tighter control over what residents can access. That’s how you cut support time after the install.
