No more asking who’s going to install all of
those holiday electronics. Homeowners can choose from Control4’s
huge third-party ecosystem to get their season underway.
Control4 Corporation (NASDAQ: CTRL), a leading global
provider of smart home solutions, boasts a huge smart home
ecosystem with nearly 11,000 third-party devices including over
2,900 SDDP-enabled products such as the latest 4K HDTVs from
Samsung which bring plug and play installation into Control4®
systems. This holiday season, homeowners can reach out to any of
the 5,500 Control4 authorized dealers who can seamlessly integrate
the latest in consumer electronics just in time for the
holidays.
On average, Control4 customers have over 40 connected devices in
their homes that are orchestrated by Control4. Whether they want to
control the home on a touchscreen, keypad, mobile device, or with
voice control using Amazon Alexa, which is now also available in
Canada as well as the U.S. and the UK, Control4 offers the most
convenient and intuitive way to control a multitude of smart home
scenes for the holidays or any other time of year. With the
Control4 skill for Amazon Alexa, a “Holiday” scene dims the lights
throughout the house, turns on a holiday playlist, lights the gas
fireplace, and puts those animatronics in motion all with a single
“Alexa, turn on holiday” voice command. For those who are not in
the holiday spirit, a verbal “Alexa, turn off the house” can shut
down the house by turning off all of the lights, lowering the
thermostat, locking the doors, closing the garage, lowering shades,
and arming the security system.
With so many devices in the Control4 third-party ecosystem,
whether new or legacy, through drivers or SDDP, homeowners have the
choice to have their systems designed for the way they live and
ready for the new tech that tends to enter the home every holiday
season. Consumers flock for a new TV, gaming system, or smart
garage door opener but are frustrated when those devices don’t work
with the disparate DIY smart home products that currently
proliferate the market. This dilemma is easily solved in two ways:
(1) Control4 has a vast independent authorized dealer network that
designs, supports and services Control4 devices along with these
popular products that homeowners enjoy, and (2) Control4 systems
can begin with single room control for under $1,000 yet offer the
ability to scale – in both number of connected devices and rooms --
over time. Control4 makes the home automation experience
comfortable and hassle-free, all while offering more of what
homeowners want including the hottest streaming services like
Spotify and Tidal, Alexa voice control, doorbell station with
intercom, and user personalization.
Control4 When >> Then Automation is a new way to increase
personalization by allowing homeowners to tweak actions and events
in their Control4 homes directly. The web interface is intuitive,
and easy to follow; customers subscribing to the Control4 4Sight
Service ($100 annually) and have OS 2.10 installed can easily
access When >> Then on customer.control4.com. From the
account, select a When (on a schedule, with a touch of a button, or
after an event occurs), and a Then action to take place (turn on a
light, start a playlist or send a push notification). For example,
with When >> Then, homeowners can set a holiday scene that
When the Christmas tree turns on, Then the overhead lights turn
off. These nuanced tweaks allow homeowners to personalize their
home and create special scenes or actions whenever they choose
without having to reach out to a dealer every time.
The Control4® Smart Home Skill for Amazon Alexa is available
today in Canada and continues to provide homeowners with the
convenience of whole-home automation through simple and intuitive
voice commands that can activate smart home scenes and control
individual devices.
