Did You Get a New Batch of Smart Home Devices Over the Holidays?

Since the big Black Friday sales, few things have been more popular holiday gifts than smart technology. From smart lights, locks, and thermostats to smart speakers, streaming devices, and TVs, there’s quite a few new electronics to integrate into your home.

Since all these new devices are intelligent, naturally, each has an app to control it. Some, like audio and video devices, have remote controls, too. All of those different apps can be a little overwhelming, not to mention managing the many login credentials of each.

Is there an easier way? There is! A Control4 house control system helps you become the expert conductor of your smart home orchestra. Read on to learn how Control4 makes the whole of your smart home smarter than the sum of the intelligent parts.

Control4: The Smart Home Control Platform

Why would you want or need a comprehensive smart home control platform? The first reason is to have a single, cohesive way of controlling all your devices instead of flipping through multiple apps. Apps also update often and have an annoying habit of losing carefully saved routines and settings, causing frustration when something that once worked no longer does. With Control4, your automations, schedules, and settings stay intact.

Control4 can integrate all your smart devices and make them work together, creating a smart home that’s more than a collection of remotely controllable devices. While turning your smart TV on with your voice or an app is nice, Control4 can do more. When you want to watch TV in the evening, the system can turn on your new smart TV, tune to your favorite channel or streaming app, start your soundbar, dim the lights, and set your thermostat to a comfortable temperature.

If you like a little more than your smartphone or tablet screen to intuitively control your AV, the new Control4 Neeo remote is the perfect smart home AV remote. With a high-resolution touchscreen and tactile buttons for oft-used controls like volume and play, you can put away that gaggle of remotes and control it all with one sleek and intuitive handheld device. 

The Widest Array of Device Compatibility

Control4 is compatible with an astounding 14,000+ devices. Were you gifted a new smart TV last month? Control4 can handle any brand. Are you upgrading your thermostats to Google Nest or ecobee? No problem integrating those. Did you get some new Sonos speakers for music in the bedrooms? Control4 can manage those, too. Did you get a Yale smart lock for your rear door? Secure it when you leave the house easily with Control4.

The list of devices Control4 can manage is seemingly endless. And if you like the option for voice control in some rooms, Control4 is compatible with both Google Home and Amazon Alexa. One system, and not six apps, manages your home. If you like the ability to customize your environment, the new Control4 OS 3 makes that easy as well. You have the ability to set a variety of devices to your preferred settings then save that as a scene you can use again and again.
