Your smart home key – Control4
When it comes to creating your smart home, it’s always best to hire an experienced smart home specialist who can help you choose the best products and systems on the market. Not only does using reputable brands deliver a better experience, it also offers greater security against cyber attacks. With that in mind, here are six reasons why Control4 is considered a leader in the industry.
- Compatibility with a range of brands
One of the key advantages of Control4 is its compatibility with a multitude of brands. From Sony, Apple, Sonos and LG to Lutron, Artcoustic and Future Automation, there are hundreds of brands that can be integrated into the system. What’s more, if there are gaps in your existing range of products, Control4 has its own suite of technologies that can fill them.
- Consistent control across devices
Adding devices to your Control4 system is simple – and so is operating each device or even multiple devices at once. Rather than having a range of smart features with a different app to control each, you have one single operating system that enables you to adjust temperature settings, lighting, security and more – all with the push of a button.
- Security
Many homeowners worry about the security of their smart devices, but with Control4 the risks are minimised. Firmware is updated remotely on your behalf, and Control4 uses robust encryption and security protocols to ensure your data remains safe.
- Scalability
If you’re working to a budget or you know that your needs will grow and change, your Control4 system can evolve as necessary. Thanks to the system’s flexibility you can add or upgrade devices whenever you like, or extend the system to cover more of your home as your budget allows.
- Customisation
Your Control4 dealer will show you how to customise your system so that you have everything you need at the touch of a button. You can create customised ‘scenes’ that automate everything you need to begin or end your day, throw a party, or have a movie night. Here are some ideas:
‘Good morning’: Raises the blinds, turns on the radio, and boosts the heating to your preferred temperature.
‘Movie night’: Dims the lights, lowers the blinds and turns on your home entertainment system.
‘Away’: Switches lights on as if you are home and enhances security measures such as activating cameras or sending alerts to your phone if movement is detected on or around your property.
- Energy efficiency
Choosing Control4 enables you to optimise energy efficiency by ensuring elements of your home such as lights and heating are turned off when the property is vacant. This can reduce your bills and eliminate energy waste.
If you’re looking for a comprehensive home automation system, Control4 is a great option. To ensure you benefit fully from it, the system must be fitted by an authorised Control4 installer.
