Make Your Home the Smartest On the Block

From homes small to large, new and old, Control4 delivers power and performance on one platform that coordinates the technology in your house into complete, brilliant experiences—interactions that fit your lifestyle and are easy for your family to enjoy.

Platform: The Control4^® platform is the operating system of your smart home. By connecting to and managing the many devices in your home, this robust and reliable platform enables your favorite products to work together in orchestration, personalized to the way you live.

Network: Today, we are more connected than ever before—at home, at work, in the car, and on the go. Eventually, everything with power will become network aware, yet most home networks are not ready for the expanding requirements of a smart home. Seamless, scalable, reliable, and secure networks are not just desired, they are required, and Control4’s Pakedge solutions deliver that level of performance for Control4 installations.

Interface: Whether it's a handheld remote for your video experience, a touchscreen to browse and play music, or a keypad to manage lights, shades, audio, and more, Control4 has many interfaces that allow you to interact with your home however you choose. And should you prefer no interface at all, simply use your voice to control anything in the house? Each method of control is designed for simple and easy access to the features you use most, with a consistent look and feel across all devices.

Mobile app: The Control4 Mobile App with a 4Sight subscription provides secure access to your home while you’re away. With 4Sight, you can monitor cameras, lock the doors, adjust the temperature, close the garage door, and turn off the lights from virtually anywhere in the world using your iOS or Android mobile device, or even your Apple Watch.
