The modern smart home made simple and intuitive.Control4
Smart Home OS 3 is designed to simplify the use of many connected
devices throughout the home, exceeding expectations for how people
live with technology. OS 3 offers more than a thousand new features
and capabilities including fluid, refined, and intuitive interfaces
providing one-touch control for favorite devices and scenes,
at-a-glance views for security and lighting, one-touch music and
video streaming, and more, all in a singular platform across
Control4 and third-party products.
It’s all just smart stuff without a Smart Home OS.The
industry is at a tipping point; pundits are forecasting by 2020
there will be 13 billion connected devices in today’s homes. The
rapid introduction of these products fractures the smart home
ecosystem and compounds complexity. Disparate smart devices don’t
work together nor meet the promise of easy, convenient or better,
and consumers and their families have been left frustrated.
“The Control4 Smart Home OS is designed to remove complexity,”
said Control4 Senior Vice President of Products and Services
Charlie Kindel. “Every home is a mix of products from a variety of
companies, a Smart Home OS embraces this reality, providing broad
choice rather than creating a collection of tiny walled gardens
that limit homeowners.”
Boasting a broad and deep ecosystem, Control4 OS 3 brings
support for more than 13,500 third-party devices and 7,500 Control4
SDDP-embedded products. Built as smart home infrastructure, OS 3
scales to the needs of the family, whether it’s a single-room
entertainment experience or a whole-home automation system in a
mansion.
Control4 Smart Home OS 3 enriches the real-life connected home
experience. By aiming to encompass all of the home’s connected
devices, it breaks through many of the barriers of smart home
adoption. “There is a delight—almost a sense of magic—when
technology comes together and genuinely enhances our lives,” said
Charlie. “And right now, only Control4 Smart Home OS 3 can deliver
on that promise for the home.”
Smart living is installed by professionals and personalized
by owners.Achieving the elegance and sophistication homeowners
want requires the experience of a professional installer. But only
a family knows the nuances of their day-to-day lifestyles. Control4
Smart Home OS facilitates professional installation to make sure
everything works together, while empowering families to make their
smart home experience uniquely their own.
“For more than 15 years Control4 has held steadfast in the
belief that meeting the expectation of a true smart home requires
professional installation,” stated Control4 Chairman and CEO Martin
Plaehn. “We have relentlessly built a network of trained
professionals, and today Control4 has more than 200 Control4
Certified Showrooms where consumers can walk in and experience OS
3. Control4 has nearly 6,000 Authorized Dealers, OS 3 leverages the
talent and skill of tens of thousands of smart home pros around the
