Basic Navigation

 

The video above shows you just how simple integrated home control can be with the help of the new Control4 operating system. Switch easily between rooms and add most commonly used applications and spaces to your “Favorites.” Slide your finger to view the next room, and tap any of the icons to explore virtually anything connected to your system, from turning off lights to playing Netflix to controlling the temperature.

Safety and Surveillance

Secure your home no matter where you are by tapping the security icon from any room. View options within the security category, such as surveillance, cameras and arming to operate each. Away for a few days? You can also use these intuitive controls from your smartphone’s Control4 app. Using your security screen, easily scan the status of locks, alarms and sensors throughout the house. You also have access to an emergency button to quickly contact authorities if needed.

Lighting Scenes

 

Program your very own lighting scene for every occasion by selecting a room and then the “Lighting” application. Tap the edit pencil on the top right, then the plus sign, and then choose the rooms you want to include. Select how many lights you want to turn on in a given area and the ideal lighting levels for each. Then, name your scene and pull it up easily whenever you want.

Easier Entertainment Use

The Active Media Bar is one of our early users’ favorite upgrades because it makes multi-room audio and video a cinch. Choose a room, or an outdoor space, to start adjusting the listening experience. From there, you can select the streaming service you want to activate and the specific channel that matches your mood.

You can use the media bar to zoom in on the album you’re enjoying or view lyrics. Take advantage of the feature’s ability to give you an all-access pass on your whole home music: You can adjust the volume, check the sound quality, skip or replay songs in any room and much more.
