Control4

Intro

A Control4 home automation system brings everything in your home together under one easy-to-use platform. With it, you can control various features like audio, video, lighting, and more through a single app or touchscreen panel. Instead of juggling different remotes or wall switches, you have one place to manage multiple systems, making daily life more convenient. It’s like having a “remote control” for your entire house, allowing you to set up everything just the way you like it.

Audio & Video

For audio and video, Control4 lets you create a seamless entertainment experience. You can have music playing throughout the house or set it to specific rooms, and you can switch between music sources—like streaming apps, radio, or your own playlists—with just a tap. It also makes watching TV or movies simpler. You can turn on your TV, adjust the volume, and switch to your favorite channel or streaming service from the same control panel without having to switch remotes or systems.

Lighting

With lighting control, the system gives you the power to adjust lights all around the house from wherever you are. You can dim lights for a cozy movie night, set outdoor lights to turn on at dusk automatically, or brighten up specific rooms when you’re working or entertaining. You can also set “scenes” that adjust multiple lights at once, like a “Goodnight” scene that turns off all the main lights and locks doors. Control4 takes everyday tasks and makes them easy and efficient, helping you create the perfect setting for any activity.

Cost

The cost of a Control4 home automation system can vary widely depending on the size of your home, the number of features you want to control, and the level of customization you’re after. Basic systems start around $1,000 to $3,000 for core controls like lighting and audio in a few rooms, plus installation. However, if you’re looking for whole-home control that covers more areas and adds security, climate, and advanced entertainment options, the total investment might range from $10,000 to $50,000 or more. A professional installer can give you a more tailored estimate based on your specific needs and home layout.
