“It is an honor to win these awards. In a year flooded with new
products and technologies, the recognition for Control4 truly
validates our dedicated efforts to deliver a comprehensive
connected home experience for dealers and end-user customers
alike,” said Control4 CEO Martin Plaehn. “We continue our
commitment to providing the best consumer experience and empowering
dealers with the tools necessary to be successful. The
When>>Then feature in OS 2.10 was created to win the hearts
and minds of homeowners, and it continues to do just that; audio
performance is fundamental to the smart home experience, and our
Triad product line continues to grow to meet all levels of music
enjoyment. Networking has proven fundamental to the power and
robustness of the connected home, and giving our dealers networking
competency is a win for dealers and customers.”
Control4 OS 2.10 with 4Sight led the night with a win for Home
Automation Product of the Year. With the latest software update, OS
2.10, Control4 connected homes now support more of homeowner’s
favorite native streaming services, and with the 4Sight
subscription, provide new flexibility for homeowner personalization
without dealer intervention for an already installed system using
When >>Then Automation.
CE Pro’s Julie Jacobson called When >> Then a
“showstopper,” and “a 'transformational' paradigm for pro-installed
smart-home systems.” When >> Then allows homeowners to tweak
the scenes in their home and personalize their system to change
temperature, music, and lighting preferences. It’s simple:
homeowners can select a “When” (on a schedule, with a touch of a
button, or after an event occurs), and a “Then” (an action to take
place, such as turn on a light, start a playlist, or send a push
notification). When >> Then lets homeowners make the small
changes that personalize their smart home as their lifestyle
changes, without bogging down dealers with many requests to update
playlists, lighting times, and more. OS 2.10 also provides
additional music flexibility with native streaming services
Pandora, Spotify, SiriuxSM, iHeartRadio, and more, which can also
be set as Whens in smart home scenes. The software also brought a
host of new tools for dealers, and continues to lead the category
for home automation innovation.
The Audio Product of the Year Award was given to the Control4
Triad One Streaming Amplifier, a single-zone, high-resolution,
wired and wireless streaming amplifier which distributes and
synchronizes local audio sources, such as television audio,
turntable or media players, over the IP network in a Control4
system. The Triad One functions as an amplifier, streaming sound
system, and a music controller within a Control4 smart home, and
was designed with flexibility in mind to deliver high-quality audio
to a variety of installation scenarios without requiring
wiring.
The Control4 Pakedge Certified Network Administrator Program
(PCNA) won the coveted Best New Education Program. PCNA is a
brand-new training experience launched in the fall of 2017 and
currently boasting its first 100 graduates as of December. PCNA
employs a unique blend of comprehensive online coursework with
hands-on practical learning using Pakedge networking gear to
provide dealers and technicians the networking knowledge they need
to design, install, and manage wired and wireless IP networks. The
PCNA course curriculum combines six interactive courses, online
instructional office hours, and an online third-party proctored
certification exam to ensure networking competency for industry
dealers.
