What is the "Controller Automation" feature listed on the purchase page?

The Purchase page 
(Purchase | LaunchBox)
lists a feature: Controller Automation

Any idea what this is or where I might read about it?

I bought premium and it's working great for me - A friend is trying out the free version and is having trouble with controllers - he's got a "Sim rig" with a ton of input devices permanently connected - I wonder if the premium version would benefit him.

It's referring to these options you can see that are grayed out when on the free version:

Big Box has something similar for both Controller and Keyboard controls.

From the sounds of it, while your friend would benefit from those options, it doesn't sound like that's their immediate issue.
