Control 4 Smart Home

Control 4 Smart Home

In one of our earlier blog posts, we discussed why D.I.Y. Smart Home can’t be compared to a professional smart home system such as Control4 Smart Home. 

Control4 OS 3 is responsible for incredibly convenient home control. It provides you with a fluid personalized interface, easy access and control of all devices across your home. OS 3 removes complexity by focusing on simple usability with one-touch access and control over the entire home. Control4 system is reliable, fully integrated, intuitive and truly intelligent. Smart home owners can easily control and manage the house with elegant keypads, touchscreens, remote or even voice commands.  

Compatibility

Neeo touchscreen remote and in-wall or tabletop touchscreens have one thing in common – Control4 Smart Home OS 3. Therefore you can use any of them with equal ease and features. Control multimedia, lighting, HVAC, door and much more with device you prefer. Control4 OS3 App is also available on the App Store and Google Play so you can transfer control even onto your smartphone.

Personalization

Smart Home OS 3 also enables users to mark rooms as favorites, choose wallpaper for each and then quickly swipe between them. Simply press-and-hold your favorite devices and media to add them to the main room view,  arrange or  remove existing ones. Anything across your entire home can be put as Favorite which instantly gives you quick access to it. 

Furthermore OS 3 allows users to  choose any wallpaper they like for each room. Select from a number of choices, pick your own photo or take a photo in real time. Wallpapers are synchronized and viewable on phones, tablets, touch screens and TV screens.

 

Interface

With Control4 OS 3 you can consolidate all devices into a single screen. Room view gives you a quick glance of currently playing music, lights and all frequently used features you decide to display. Smart Home OS 3 icons visually represent individual states for connected devices so you immediately see what’s open-shut or on-off and change it if you want. One touch on large and convenient icons will simply offer you more settings.

The Active Media bar on the top of the screen shows what’s currently playing in a room and with sliders you can effortlessly change the volume.  Turn on or off media with only one touch of a finger. All of that can be done for one or multiple rooms or even the entire house – at once.

Now playing screen allows the user to play or pause music, adjust the volume or skip a track.

Most frequently used features are shown in the Room View. Below is a brief description of some favorites in our showroom.
