Smart Home Personalization and Fine-Tuning after the Pro
InstallAfter a dealer completes a Control4 installation and
homeowners have the chance to experience living in their smart
homes, the family often wants to tweak and fine-tune the automation
without having to engage their dealer to make simple adjustments.
The ability for homeowners to “edit” and “add” to the automation
within their home has been a top request by both Control4 customers
and dealers. When >> Then, now included with the Control4
4Sight service, is an intuitive, easy-to-use web interface,
enabling customers to make adjustments to the automation settings
in their homes directly, personalizing their Control4 system at any
time after the installation.
“Combined with the skills and stability of a professional
installation by trained and certified Control4 Dealers, we’re
enabling a perfect blend of professional expertise with a
homeowner’s ability to establish and change their automation
preferences,” said Martin Plaehn, Control4 CEO. “As homeowners live
with and adjust their personalized Control4 home to match the way
they live, we believe they will expand their smart home with
additional devices and integrated systems, which is great repeat
business for our network of expert Control4 Dealers.”
For the first time, Control4 provides homeowners with the direct
ability to create smart home actions when a button is pressed, when
motion is detected, when a condition occurs, when it’s a specific
time, or when a door is opened or closed. For example, with When
>> Then, homeowners can change the schedule for the porch
light, change which music plays when a living room keypad button is
pressed, or send a push notification when the garage door is
opened.
Control4’s When >> Then personalization takes a simple
approach; the user selects a When (on a schedule, with a touch of a
button, or after an event) and selects a Then action to take place
(turn on a light, start a playlist, or send a push notification).
Homeowners who subscribe to the 4Sight service and have OS 2.10
installed will have immediate access to the When >> Then on
customer.control4.com. A video of When >> Then is here:

Intercom Anywhere for Peace of MindAlso available today
with the 4Sight service is the new Control4 Intercom App for iOS
and Android devices. Homeowners can now receive Control4 Door
Station and audio/video intercom calls directly on their mobile
devices, providing them visibility and access to their front gate
or front door from anywhere in the world. Unique to Control4, while
on a call in the Intercom App, with a single tap, homeowners can
activate their Control4 automation such as turn on lights, open the
gate, or unlock the front door without leaving the app; a perfect
blend of peace of mind and home control.
Control4 offers a complete intercom system with a high-end door
station, dedicated touch screens, and doorbell cameras built for
durability and premium audio/video quality. Whether in the home or
away, homeowners can now receive incoming audio/video intercom
calls on their mobile device or call from their mobile phone to
Control4 Touchscreens installed throughout out the home for the
