Programming Technic Control+ hub

[plingboot]

I just wondered whether anyone can point me in the direction of the correct lego iOS app to use for programming the Control+ hub?

I bought one (along with motors) assuming it could be programmed in a similar way to the Boost Hub - as I want to use it as part of a GBC build.

However, the PoweredUp app will only connect if the hub is set-up (motors connected) for the 4x4 model - and even then I'm unable to access any kind of programming functions.

Slightly worried that I've wasted my money.

Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

There is no official Lego app programming for Control+...yet, though we have been told it is coming as part of the Powered Up app eventually.

You can program all Powered Up hubs (including Control+) with third party solutions in the meantime, if you know how to code. Here's my library, there are others I've seen, including some in Python.
