Comfort

For many years, the idea of home automation has been regarded as a playground for only the wealthiest, or a work of science fiction. The reality is that, up until recently, the cost of these systems did indeed make them unattainable to most.

A Control4 system is a cost effective way to enter into the world of home automation, also allowing you to build a system at whatever pace you want. Many Control4 accessories can be added with no wiring, meaning that adding to your project is possible in many homes where existing construction would not permit wired installations.

Complete Home Control

With Control4, you can start with just one room or automate your entire home all at once. Here are just a few ideas to turn your house into a smart home:

• A "Wake Up" scene automatically and gradually turns up the lights each morning.
• A "Goodbye" button locks the doors, arms the security system, turns off all the lights on your way out.
• While away, your Control4 system alerts you when your child arrives home from school.
• A single remote or touch screen provides you with complete control of your entertainment system. As the movie starts, the shades close and the lights dim—automatically.

A Brilliant Family Room

The family room is a place to relax and enjoy time together. It’s also usually the room many customers begin their home automation experience. Here’s why:

• One remote controls everything: TV, receiver, music, streaming content, DVR, etc. That same remote also controls your lights, shades, temperature, music and so much more.
• Control4 integrates with IP cameras and security systems, and offers a video door station—so you can check out who's at the door, safely.
• Touch screens with video intercom let you keep an eye on the baby as you watch a movie.

A Bedroom Retreat

Enjoy the glories of automation every day—from the time you first wake up, until the moment your head hits the pillow again at night.

• Program a perfect "Wake-up" scene featuring your favourite music, followed by a gentle opening of the shades and a brightening of the lights.
• Press the “Goodnight” button to turn off all the lights in your home, lock every door and arm the security system without leaving the comfort of your covers.
• Be notified if people are moving about the house, or if doors or windows are opening after hours when they shouldn’t be.

The Connected Kitchen

Regardless of size or style, the kitchen is a place where automation meets personalization.

• Send an announcement through your intercom and flash lights in the kids’ rooms when it’s time for dinner.
• Initiate a “Cooking” scene to fill the room with upbeat music and bright light as you prepare meal.
• An "Entertain" scene dims the lights and changes the music to let your guests enjoy their meal in a perfect ambiance.

Outdoor Oasis

Home automation from Control4 makes your outdoor spaces more comfortable, more secure and more fun.

• Heat up the pool or hot tub from your smartphone.
• Create stunning lighting scenes in the back yard to showcase your beautiful landscaping.
• Automate porch, patio and yard lights to save energy or set a mood.
• Use motion sensors, lights and alerts for late-night security.
