Before you start (checklist)
- AUSLOCK App: Lock is added as Admin and works locally (Bluetooth).
- Remote access: For off-site control and most automation, set up a Wi-Fi Gateway/Hub (details below).
- Network: Stable internet on the Control4 controller.
- Composer Pro: Required for driver install and configuration.
Remote control requirement: Wi-Fi Gateway / Hub (recommended / often required)
Most “integrations” (remote lock/unlock, scheduled codes, cloud automation) require the lock to be connected to a Wi-Fi Gateway/Hub. Without a gateway, the lock may only respond when your phone is nearby (Bluetooth range).
Gateway setup (AUSLOCK App)
- Wi-Fi: Ensure you have 2.4GHz Wi-Fi available (many gateways won’t join 5GHz).
- Placement: Plug the gateway in close to the lock (same room is best).
- Add gateway: AUSLOCK App → Gateway → + → select gateway type → power it on.
- Pair: When detected, tap Add → choose your 2.4GHz SSID → enter password → name the gateway.
- Bind lock to gateway: Link/bind the lock to that gateway (inside gateway/lock settings).
- Enable Remote Unlock: Lock → Settings → Remote Unlock → turn ON.
- Test: Turn Bluetooth OFF (or step away), use mobile data, then try remote unlock in the AUSLOCK App.
Tip: If schedules/codes are wrong, fix lock time + timezone first (most common cause of automation timing issues).
Step 1 — Install / update the AUSLOCK driver (Composer Pro)
- Open your project in Composer Pro.
- Go to Driver → Add or Update Driver.
- Install/update the AUSLOCK driver.
- Confirm the driver appears in your driver database.

Step 2 — Add the driver to your Control4 project
- Add the AUSLOCK driver to the correct room/device list in Composer Pro.
- Name it clearly (e.g., Front Door AUSLOCK).
Step 3 — Licensing / agent (if prompted)
Some drivers require licensing or an agent install step. If prompted, follow Chowmain’s licensing/agent instructions:
Step 4 — Test lock/unlock
- Test Lock and Unlock from the Control4 UI.
- Allow a few seconds for state updates.
Troubleshooting (fast fixes)
- No response: Confirm the lock works in AUSLOCK App first. Then re-check driver settings and network stability.
- Works only on-site: Gateway/Hub may not be set up or the lock isn’t bound to the gateway.
- Delayed actions: Check gateway placement, Wi-Fi strength, and internet stability.
- Schedule/time issues: Confirm lock time + timezone are correct.
