Is Your Control4 System 5+ Years Old?

If you invested in a Control4 smart home system more than five years ago, you’ve already experienced the difference real automation makes. But technology doesn’t stand still, and today’s Control4 systems deliver more power, speed, and customization than before. 

If your system is still running on yesterday’s software and hardware, you’re missing out on a smoother, more enjoyable experience every day.

Here’s what’s changed, why these upgrades matter, and how a professional refresh from Total Home Technologies puts control back in your hands.

The X4 OS: Smarter, Simpler, & More Personal

The new Control4 X4 operating system is a leap forward in home automation. Its new Home Screen is now the main hub for your favorite devices and scenes, organized just the way you want them. With personalized widgets, you can pin the cameras you use most, monitor the status of your garage door, or adjust the lights in seconds. 

The new Routines feature is another big win. Think of it as your custom command center: set schedules, automate daily tasks, or trigger whole-house scenes with one tap. Want your shades to lower and lights to dim automatically after sunset? It’s just a few taps away, and you can adjust these routines anytime without waiting on us, your integrator. This flexibility makes your system feel like it’s truly yours, adapting as your needs change.

Expanded Apple Integration

For homeowners who love the Apple ecosystem, Control4 X4 delivers a major upgrade. Now you can add devices, tweak scenes, and access controls through Apple interfaces, including CarPlay, Apple Watch, and Siri. So as you pull into the driveway or walk up your front steps, turning on the lights is as easy as tapping your car control panel or wristwatch screen. 

A Better Remote Experience: The Halo Line

Handheld remotes have come a long way. In 2022, Control4 debuted its new Halo remote, featuring a sharp, modern look and feels great in the hand. Its tactile hard buttons and a bright touchscreen for easy access to everything: lights, AV, shades, and more. 

Lighting & Keypad Hardware Designed for Luxury

Lighting has evolved perhaps more than any other avenue in home automation. Control4’s new Contemporary Lighting line brings slimmer wall keypads, crisp backlit engraving, and a modern look built for today’s luxury homes. Status lights and LED feedback do double duty, displaying information like “garage open” at a glance and working as part of larger AV or security scenes.

Love the look of sleek LED strips? Control4 now offers the Vibrant Linear Lighting line with tunable white and RGB color control. And more recently, Control4 released its all-new Lux Lighting collections of high-end keypads, dimmers, switches, and outlets, available in designer finishes and premium metals. Wireless and wired options make it easy to upgrade, no matter how or when your home was built.
