Imagine a world where all of your devices in your life are can be orchestrated to your liking and lifestyle. From security cameras, doors, windows, window blinds, speakers, up to the intricate details in your home such as heaters, appliances, and whatnot – what’s it like to have the power to control those things at your fingertips? With Control 4, you and your family can create personalized experiences that can enhance your life and work with added comfort, savings, convenience and most of all peace of mind.
Control4 offers the ultimate smart home automation solution by making the electronic components and systems you already use on a daily basis work together, seamlessly whether you’re home or away. By integrating everything from lighting, music, video, climate control, security—even smartphones and tablets—Control4 offers an automation design solution suited for your lifestyle.
Automate even just one room in your home with Control4, and expand as the time and budget allows. Here are some ideas on which room to automate first according to your priority:
Family Room – a place to relax and spend time together. With just one remote, you can control your TV, receiver, music, streaming content, etc. That same remote also controls your lights, shades, temperature and so much more. For example, when you command “Movie Time”, automatically, your lights turn off, locks the doors, lower the shades and turn on your home theatre.
With integrated IP cameras and security systems, you can check who’s at the door safely without having the effort to open the door. Given that this is a busy area inside our homes where we occasionally let people come and go, it is better to have a little control in this area, especially for busy parents.
Kitchen – this is where automation meets personalization. You can initiate a “Cooking” scene to fill the room with upbeat music and bright lights while preparing meals; or “Entertain” scene which dims the lights and changes the music to let your guests enjoy their meal in a warm ambiance.
Theater – With just one tap, lights will dim, temperature will be set, and movie will start. Feel the cinematic experience automatically. Need to take a break or quick trip to the snack bar? You can automatically raise the lights to 50% when the movie is paused.
Bedroom – from the time you first wake up until bed time, you can enjoy the automation in your bedroom. Just program a perfect “Wake-up” scene featuring your favorite music, followed by a gentle opening of the window blinds, and a brightening of the lights, and you’re ready to start the day. Going to bed? Just press the “Goodnight” button to turn off all the lights in your home, lock every door, adjust the thermostat and arm the security system. Control4 also notifies you if people are moving around the house, or if doors and windows are opening in hours when they shouldn’t be.
Patio – an automated exterior is like a breath of fresh air; because with Control4, your outdoor spaces are more comfortable and secured, even when you are entertaining your guests. Through your smartphone, you can heat up the pool or hot tub, create stunning lighting scenes at your backyard, and activate motion sensors for lights and alerts for late-night security.
