Introduction
ClareOne™ is the unified smart security and smart home control panel from
Clare Controls. The ClareOne Panel integrates with Control4 to add easy-to-
install security features into a Control4 system. The ClareOne panel and its
attached security zones auto-discover in a Control4 project, and this driver
populates a rich set of security control.
The ClareOne driver enables two-way set of security controls (arm, disarm,
emergency alarm triggering, zone status and zone bypass), and provides
metadata feedback for the current panel state (if the panel is armed, alarmed,
faulted, alarmed, or in a troubled state).
Notes
- This driver requires Control OS 3.0.0 or later to operate.
- This driver requires that the ClareOne panel is on the same network as the Control4 system.
Installation
Only qualified installation technicians should install the ClareOne Panel and integrate it into a Control4 system. Follow the installation and programming instructions that came with your ClareOne equipment. Clare Controls does not assume responsibility for damages caused by improper installation, connection the network, or use of the device.
SDDP Setup
Install, configure, and test the ClareOne panel and all connected sensors. The
ClareOne driver supports communication within the Control4 system over Wi-Fi
and ethernet connection types. Verify that the ClareOne panel is fully
functional and configured before integrating with Control4.
The ClareOne panel and system needs to be activated through the Clare back-end
management platform, FusionPro™, to have security monitoring services enabled.
All Control4 integrators authorized to sell ClareOne have been set up with
FusionPro accounts. For full ClareOne panel installation and configuration,
see ClareOne Wireless Security and Smart Home Panel User Manual (DOC ID 1871).

Address field: clarecontrols:security-clarehome-MAC ADDRESS
Note: The MAC address uses all capital letters.
Double-click on the discovered ClareOne Panel to add it and its attached
sensors to the project. When the panel is added this way, it automatically
configures itself.
That’s it, you are done with setup.
Proceed to testing the integration and custom programming.
Supported Features
Once the ClareOne panel is added to the project in Composer, the Control4 user interface displays ClareOne as the security subsystem and allows the Control4 system to control the ClareOne panel. The available Control4 security commands enabled by the ClareOne driver are listed below.
-
Arm Stay: Allows Control4 to arm the ClareOne panel in Arm Stay mode. When the ClareOne panel is armed to Stay any zone configured as Active in Stay in the ClareOne Sensor Management Settings with be armed.
-
Arm Away: Allows Control4 to arm the ClareOne panel in Arm Away mode. When the ClareOne panel is armed to Away any zone configured as Active in Away in the ClareOne Sensor Management Settings with be armed.
Note: When arming to Away without opening a zone, the ClareOne panel will arm in Stay mode. This is called Auto Armed Stay. This option can be disabled on the ClareOne panel under User Settings > Security & Arming > Auto Armed Stay -
Instant Stay: Allows Control4 to arm the ClareOne panel to Armed Stay mode Instantly with no delay.
Note: When using this option there is no entry delay. If an entry zone is tripped, the ClareOne will enter an intrusion alarm condition. -
Secure Arming: Allows the ClareOne panel to require a user PIN code when arming the system. Secure Arming is disabled by default and can be enabled by navigating to Settings > User Settings > Security & Arming. When Secure Arming is enabled the Control4 system prompts the user for a PIN code.
Note: Regardless of the Secure Arming state (enabled/disabled), the user is always prompted for a PIN when arming the system with open zones (Auto Zone Bypass). -
Disarm: Allows Control4 to disarm the ClareOne panel.
Remote Arming / Disarming Support – With an active 4sight subscription, users can access their ClareOne system remotely. The ClareOne panel supports remote arming and disarming through Control4. The integrator has the option to disable remote disarming in Composer Pro. Security
-
Sensor States: Sensor states can be used for Automation Events in Control4
-
Zone Status: Supports real-time zone status updates, even when the ClareOne panel is Disarmed. Zones and their names are automatically imported and show real-time status in Control4. Automations can be built inside Control4 triggered by ClareOne events.
Note: The active in arm states of non-Environmental ClareOne sensors can be set for Away and Stay individually. When a sensor is ignored in a particular arm state the sensor will still report its status in real-time but will not trigger an alarm event. This setting can be accessed from the ClareOne panel by selecting User Settings > Sensor Management then select the pencil icon next to a particular sensor. The Control4 integrator can take advantage of this feature with custom programming to trigger activities. -
Auto Zone Bypass: Allows Control4 to prompt the user with all open zones and allows for auto bypassing with confirmation from the user.
Note: The user’s PIN will be required when auto bypassing sensors, whether Secure Arming is enabled or disabled. -
Emergency: Allows Control4 to set an Emergency condition on the ClareOne panel.
Warning: The Control4 user could trigger a Panic or an Emergency condition remotely. The alarm call center will act and respond the same as if trigger locally.
- Fire: Alerts the central station to a fire panic.
- Panic: Alerts the central station that police are needed.
- Police: Calls the monitored alarm station and allows for two-way voice communication (two-way communication is not available for silent panic).

Auto Bypassing Open Zones.
The ClareOne panel supports Auto Bypassing from a T3/T4 Touch Screen. When
arming the ClareOne panel with open zones, the Control4 user interface will
prompt the user with all open zones and request permission to continue.
Note: When Auto Bypassing the Control4 user interface will always prompt for a PIN code.
History of Partition and Zone events.
- Control4 supports Partition and Zone History if enabled. To enable History, in Composer Pro navigate to Agents from the Go menu in the menu bar or the icon in the bottom left, click the Add button in the top left and select History from the list.
- Partition and Zone History can be viewed from the Security Partition. Open the Security Partition, then tap History. At the bottom the user can filter History by Event, Alert, and Alarm. Event, Alert, and Alarm history are shown in the order the event occurred.
- History Agent settings can be adjusted in Composer Pro to control how much history is shown on the touch screens and apps.
Multiple Partitions
A single ClareOne panel only supports a single security partition. To
accomplish the effect of multiple partitions on a single project, you will
need to dedicate one ClareOne panel for each partition.
The second ClareOne is added the same as the first panel. Please refer to the
SDDP Setup section for instructions on how to add the second panel.
Once the second ClareOne panel is in your Control4 project, tap the “Set UI
Associations” button under the partition device and enable “Show Panel” on any
or all touchscreens. Refresh the Navigators and confirm the two ClareOne
security partitions are functional on the touchscreens and apps associated
with the Control4 project.
Note: When using Disarm in an action the “Default User Code” needs to be
set under the partition device.
To create these actions the integrator would first create Actions under the
primary security partition by choosing the security event Arm Status Changed.
Next create logic on Current Arm Status = Armed | Stay and another for Armed |
Away. When the logic condition is satisfied the security action would then be
to send a command for Stay or Away to the secondary partition.
For the Disarm action, use the Security Event Disarmed on the primary panel,
and the Disarm command for the secondary partition. Make sure to set a
“Default User Code” for the secondary partition panel to successfully execute
the disarm command.
Additional ClareOne panels and partitions are added following the above
procedures.
Zone Auto Bypass
The ClareOne panel supports Auto Bypassing of any open zones. When arming the
ClareOne panel to any arming state the Control4 UI will display any open zones
and prompt the user for confirmation. Whether Secure Arming is enabled or
disabled on the ClareOne panel the user will always be prompted to enter a PIN
with auto bypassing.
Commands
The ClareOne Driver supports commands that can be used for custom programming.
- Arm Auto Bypass: Allows for programming to force arming of a ClareOne pane; regardless of any open zones. Any open zones will be automatically bypassed. Supported Arm Types:
- ARM_AWAY
- ARM_STAY
- INSTANT
- Zone Bypass: Allows for programming to bypass a specific zone.
- Zone Un-bypass: Allows for programming to un-bypass a specific zone.
Note: Arm Auto Bypass commands require the Default User Code to be set in Composer regardless of whether Secure Arming is enabled in the ClareOne Panel.

Troubleshooting
If the mobile user interface is not updating, refresh the project Navigator.
Once refreshed, the mobile user interface updates and displays the correct
status.
If you have updated the driver and do not see the correct zone names, restart
the main controller. IMPORTANT: Refresh Navigators, Refresh Project or restart
of Composer will not resolve this.
Limitations
The ClareOne panel only supports one security partition per Control4 project.
(However, multiple ClareOne panels can be attached to a Control4 project, each
acting as a separate partition. Please refer to the Multiple Partitions
section for more information.)
Arming the panel to Instant Stay with an exit delay is not supported.
The ClareOne driver does not support the addition of time in the exit delay
during Arm Away.
