uOS 11.08 adds new capabilities aimed at larger, more demanding residential and commercial environments, including sectors where uControl is seeing growing adoption such as bars, gyms, and shared venues
uControl, the UK-based smart control system from HDA, is rolling out uOS 11.08 as its latest OTA update. This release represents another meaningful step forward for the platform, focused on the real-world needs of busy installers by reducing setup friction and improving how systems scale.
- Commercial Wall Mode – a single interface for all zone controls and building-wide control for larger residential and commercial installations.
- QuickConnect Integration Profiles – One-click deployment of validated integrations such as Rako, Lutron RA2, and Loxone for faster, consistent, and repeatable commissioning.
- Live System Editing – Modify active systems without resets or full project rebuilds.
- Expanded IP Driver Support – Native control for thousands of Android/Google TV displays.
- Installer-Focused Improvements – Streamlined setup and faster commissioning workflows.
uOS 11.08 - At a Glance
uOS 11.08 represents another meaningful step forward for the uControl platform, focused on the real-world needs of busy residential and commercial installers. The release reduces setup friction, removes unnecessary rebuilds, and improves how systems scale, helping projects move faster from commissioning to completion. Improvements across human interfaces (remote and app), wall control, integration workflows, native IP communication, and live system editing make uControl easier to deploy, easier to change, and easier to maintain over time.
Commercial Wall Mode simplifies building-wide control.
Commercial Wall Mode
uOS 11.08 introduces Commercial Wall Mode improves usability by extending uControl’s wall-based controller design beyond single-zone operation to support both zone-level and building-level control within one simple consistent interface. End users can control individual rooms, zones or entire buildings without switching screens, while installers gain a scalable control option suited to larger residential systems and commercial environments. The updated interface is designed for projects where clarity and reliability matter, including multi-media homes, offices, hospitality venues,, education spaces, and sports facilities.
This update significantly expands native IP driver support for Android and Google based TVs
Expanded IP Driver Support for Android and Google TV Devices
uOS 11.08 significantly expands native IP driver support, adding direct IP control for thousands of Android-based TVs and source devices used worldwide. Support includes leading TV manufacturers such as Sony, including the latest Bravia displays, alongside a wide range of models from TCL, Hisense, Philips, Panasonic, Sharp, Xiaomi, and Motorola. Android-based source devices and set-top boxes are also supported, covering popular platforms such as Google TV, NVIDIA Shield, and many regional streaming and broadcast devices, including Verizon and TiVo. By controlling these devices directly over IP, uControl reduces reliance on infrared , improves reliability, and simplifies system design, particularly in multi-zone residential and commercial installations
Installers can now add or edit devices, zones, and remote functions after initial setup without starting from scratch.
Live System Editing
uOS 11.08 significantly reduces the need to reset remotes or rebuild projects when changes are required. Installers can now add or edit devices, zones, and remote functions after initial setup without starting again from scratch. Changes can be made while systems remain operational, reducing disruption during commissioning and future updates. This makes it easier to adapt live systems as requirements change, saving time and avoiding unnecessary rework.
Simplified system architectures with expanded IP support.
QuickConnect Profiles
uOS 11.08 introduces QuickConnect Profiles, allowing proven integrations to be deployed in a single click. Profiles apply validated configurations for popular smart systems including Rako, Lutron RA2, and Loxone , reducing commissioning time and ensuring consistent behaviour across repeated projects. By removing the need to manually recreate common integrations, QuickConnect Profiles improve reliability, simplify setup, and make ongoing maintenance faster and more predictable.
uOS 11.08 expands IP control to support a wider range of devices
Expanded IP Protocol Support
uOS 11.08 significantly expands native IP driver support, providing direct control for thousands of Android and Google TV displays and source devices. Supported brands include Sony Bravia, TCL, Hisense, Philips, Panasonic, Sharp, Xiaomi, and Motorola, alongside popular set-top boxes like Google TV, NVIDIA Shield, Verizon, and TiVo.
Direct IP control reduces reliance on infrared, improves reliability, and simplifies AV system design, especially in multi-zone HDA setups.
The update also supports additional protocols, including PJLINK, Broadcast, UDP (Hex), BroadcastH (Hex), and enhanced HTTPS with up to five custom headers. This enables cleaner system architectures, fewer components, and long-term flexibility.
Built for Scalability and Flexibility
Every improvement in uOS 11.08 is designed to make HDA + uControl AV systems easier to deploy, manage, and scale:
- Streamlined setup and faster commissioning
- Reduced rework and downtime
- Greater flexibility for multi-zone and commercial deployments
- Easier long-term maintenance and system expansion
Whether managing a complex residential multiroom system or a building-wide commercial installation, uOS 11.08 combined with HDA MHUB matrix systems ensures projects move smoothly from commissioning to completion, and stay easier to manage over time.
