SUPPORTING THE NEW NEEO REMOTE

Neeo is now on the Control4 customer help page

Customer support is critical, but customers don’t like having to call for every little issue and you’re probably busy with new installs and other high-revenue projects. That’s why we have the Control4 Customer Support website, so customers can troubleshoot common issues on their own before calling you. And now that also includes support for the new Neeo Remote!

Tech Support tip for Neeo Remote installs  

Update your client’s system to OS 3.1 at least 24 hours before installing a Neeo. This ensures the system has the latest and greatest firmware as soon as you install the Neeo. What a great suggestion! Thanks, Nick from Tech Support!
