A Control4 Smart Home coordinates the technology in your life. With one touch, dim the lights, play music, turn up the heat, lock the doors and arm the security system. Or, have your house respond to your schedule and needs without touching anything at all. A true smart home coordinates connected devises and systems for you. In fact, a smart home system can control every light, appliance and remote controlled product in your home.

The new Control4 updates bring new user experiences to enhance your entertainment; comfort and peace of mind, along with new HD touch screens and a new system remote and thermostat.

The new Control4 Wireless Thermostat by Aprilaire was developed to deliver a reliable and sophisticated thermostat that consistently delivers the right level of comfort in the most efficient way possible. With Control4, your thermostat can determine what “mode” your house is in and respond with the perfect temperature, whether you’re home or away. It can even adjust based on sunrise or sunset, or adapt to the current season.

Comfort comes from more than controlling the temperature with your thermostat. The new feature of presets remembers your favorite temperatures and settings (fresh air and humidity), which can be scheduled for a specific time of the day. This works with most existing climate control thermostats and some great automation options are:

• Program your window shades to lower during the hottest hours of the day, saving on air conditioning costs
• Automate your sprinklers and lawn systems to respond to weather conditions

The new HD Touchscreens are faster, more responsive and are the dedicated touch screen to control your home automation. The processor is ten times faster than previous touch screens, easy-to-use and available in black or white. With a durable glass screen and available in a variety of sizes the 7” and 10” sizes and can be mounted on the wall or a 7” tabletop screen is portable within your home.

The Control4 T3 Series In-Wall Touch Screens feature low profile designs with edge-to-edge glass and high-resolution graphics.

The Control4 T3 Series Tabletop Touch Screen features a gorgeous new tablet design and stunning high-resolution graphics, this portable screen looks beautiful whether on a kitchen countertop or in the theater on your lap.

The Touch Screens have a HD camera and high quality microphone and speakers and a new video intercom. You can check who is at the front door, check on your sleeping baby or call the family together for dinner.

You don’t have to be home to check in on your home as the new Control4 4Sight App gives you the ability to check in to your home (via your cameras at home) from anywhere in the world with your android or iOS mobile phone.

So when you leave home and wonder if you “locked the doors” or “armed the security system.” You can check this from your phone…and if its not locked and secured this is easy to fix. Just lock the doors and security using the Control4 4Sight App.

You can also receive mobile alerts when water leaks are detected or when the kids arrive home. Control4 works with a wide variety of sensors, including motion, glass break, door, window, and even water-leak detection.

When it comes to security you can also:

• View the video feeds from your security cameras
• Assign temporary security codes for deliveries and service workers
• Randomize lights and audio/video equipment to make it look like you are home

When it comes to home automation, smart lighting is a popular feature which many people say they couldn’t live without once they have experienced it. It helps you create ambience as well as be energy efficient. They can turn up slowly when you wake in the morning and turn off when no one is in a room. Presets can include for dining, party, game night, cooking, movies, romantic to set the mood in your home. The home automation fits into a new home or as an upgrade into an existing home.

You can stream high-fidelity audio and HD video throughout your home. With multi-room audio you can stream music throughout the house or different music within different zones/rooms of your home. Fill it with music from your personal library or via streamlining services such as Pandora, Spotify and many others. Send music from virtually any source, including your smartphone or tablet, to any room in your house. You can even allow your guests to stream their own music collection from their portable devices.

A new trend is multi room video (just like streaming music in multiple rooms). You can distribute the video content in your lounge room to other rooms or watch different shows, channels etc. from each room. Watch sports in the den, the news in the kitchen and kids’ movies in the family room. Each room has access to every video source and an intuitive, on-screen interface makes it easy to select the right one. Browse your movie library and video streaming services like Netflix, Apple TV, Stan and Amazon Fire from any TV, touch screen or mobile device—anywhere in the house.

With Control4 you can get rid of extra equipment, cables and boxes. Keep it simple and elegant with only a TV and remote and keep everything else in a media closet. So your technology can fit into your home instead of taking it over.

The SR-260 Remote control is the new handheld interface to control your entertainment. This remote will replace ALL of your other remotes – consolidating your entertainment into a single easy-to-use remote. It is designed like a traditional remote with buttons to turn on the TV, select the source, play, pause, skip and adjust volume. There are custom buttons on the top like coordinating your blinds and lights to go down when you start your movie. The remote is wireless not infrared, which means it doesn’t need to be pointed directly to your TV and/or equipment.
