Control All Your Smart Devices in One Place
Centralized control is one of the defining components of home automation. Instead of having multiple remotes and apps to use for different devices, an automation system like Control4 puts management and control of all your home technology in one place. One smartphone app, touchscreen tablet, or handheld remote is all you need to connect with audio/video systems, smart lighting, the thermostat, security and surveillance devices, motorized shades, and more.
Control4 is compatible with thousands of third-party manufacturers and smart devices. That means you can get the technology from the leading brands you love but still control everything in one place.
Create Personalized Scenes
Automated scenes allow you to simultaneously control multiple devices or actions, helping you move through your day more efficiently. Scenes can also help instantly set the ambiance for any mood or event you may encounter during the day. A “Good Morning” scene can raise the motorized shades in the master bedroom and living room, adjust the thermostat to a warmer temperature and turn on the kitchen lights so that you can get the coffee brewing. A “Date Night” scene can dim the lights by 45% in the dining room and play soft music from the in-ceiling speakers to create a relaxed and romantic environment.
Use Hands-Free Voice Control
Your smart home is so intelligent, it’s actually paying attention when you speak. Voice control is becoming more and more popular as a convenient, hands-free method for controlling home technologies. Your Control4 smart home has native compatibility with Amazon Alexa and Google voice assistants.
When your hands are busy in the kitchen, just say, “Alexa, play Pandora,” to get some music going while you cook. And while you’re comfortable in bed on a cold winter’s morning in Palm Beach (cold by Florida standards, at any rate), say, “Google, turn the thermostat to 75°,” so that you can stay under the covers until the house is warmer. You can also activate your custom automated scenes using simple voice commands.
