Streamline Your Smart Home with a Control4 System

Time is our most valuable asset, and if you’re trying to find more time in your life, you’re not alone. In a survey by Pew Research, 52 percent of Americans say they often do two or more things at once, and 60 percent of U.S. adults sometimes feel too busy to enjoy life. 

Smart home technology promises to make our lives easier, but DIY gadgets and apps often create more confusion and issues than they solve. In actuality, the best way approach to home automation is through a sophisticated, high-end system like Control4. 

Control4 is a smart home control system that unifies all your home’s technologies into one interface. Read on to see how C4 can streamline your daily routine at home in Bergen County, NJ.

Consolidate All Controls 

Are smart lights and security devices really worth it if you need to toggle between multiple apps just to use them? Control4 integrates all your home’s subsystems, from HVAC and water supply to the home theater and multi-room audio. You control it all from the Control4 app on your phone or tablet or by using custom keypads on the wall. 

Use Your Voice 

In a Control4 smart home, your voice assistant can do much more than play songs or tell you the weather. Open window shades across the entire house, turn off lights, and lock doors—all through a quick voice command! And if you’re worried Alexa or Google won’t understand you well enough, the Josh.ai voice assistant was built specifically for smart homes and understands natural language. 

Leave the House Without Worry

After you’ve put on your jacket and shoes, you don’t need to think, “Oh shoot, I forgot to turn off the thermostat and the lights!” Simply tap a button by the door labeled “Away,” and it will power everything off. Or schedule devices to automatically power off around the time you leave for work. 

Automate Around Your Schedule 

What if your house anticipated your preferences and activated them without any input necessary? Smart scenes make it happen. You can group devices together and instruct them to act at a specific time of day. So, if you wake up at 7:30, a “Morning” scene can automatically turn on lights in dark areas, open the blinds on selected windows, and even start playing music over your whole-home speakers.
