Schumacher Electric Integrates EV Chargers with Control4 Smart Home Systems

Schumacher Electric, a leading manufacturer of EV charging technology, required integration of their technology with Control4. Working alongside Schumacher we explored how their integration with Control4 would enhance the user experience and position Schumacher as a forward-thinking innovator in the EV charging market.

The Brief

As the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) grows, Schumacher identified several key challenges:

  • User Convenience: End users needed a more convenient way to manage EV charging.
  • Remote Accessibility: There was a growing demand for remote monitoring and control of charging units.
  • Energy Management: Consumers sought solutions to optimise energy usage and reduce costs.

The Application

Whilst working with Schumacher we found that these challenges could be addressed by integrating their EV chargers with Control4 smart home systems. This integration would deliver several key benefits:

  • Effortless Scheduling: Through the Control4 interface, users would be able to set charging schedules and take advantage of off-peak electricity rates.
  • Remote Monitoring and Control: The Control4 app would allow users to monitor and control their Schumacher chargers from anywhere and provide real-time updates.
  • Smart Alerts: Users would receive notifications when their EV was fully charged or if any issues occurred during charging.
  • Enhanced Energy Management: Integration with Control4 would enable users to balance energy consumption across their smart home devices, optimising overall energy usage.

When collaborating with Schumacher to develop the Control4 driver we could ensure compatibility and optimal performance for certified Control4 dealers who were to use the solution.

The Result

The integration yielded significant advantages for Schumacher and its customers:

  • Increased Convenience gave end users the ability to schedule and monitor charging remotely which greatly enhanced user satisfaction.
  • Cost Savings allowed end users to benefit from lower electricity bills by charging during off-peak hours by using the scheduling function.
  • Improved Energy Efficiency, was achieved by allowing end users to manage their home energy consumption more effectively.

By creating the integration of Schumacher EV chargers with Control4 smart home systems,  we successfully addressed key consumer demands for convenience, remote accessibility, and energy management. This partnership not only enhanced the customer experience but also reinforced Schumacher’s reputation as a cutting-edge manufacturer in the EV charging industry.
