Control4 Automation Makes Homes More Intuitive

Discover How a Smart Home Blends Convenience, Control, and Luxury

How you interact with the various technologies in your home goes a long way in determining your satisfaction and comfort within its walls. Adding smart home technologies and a robust smart home system transforms your living experience - making your home a more luxurious place to live. 

Control4 home automation goes beyond supplying disparate sets of smart devices to be scattered throughout your home. Instead, it provides a comprehensive ecosystem focused on meeting the desires and needs of its occupants. Control4, continually lauded for its insight, innovation, and reliability, is founded on the idea that automation should not be the focus of your home but complement your lifestyle.

INTERFACES THAT SIMPLIFY

For any touch screen, mobile app, or voice interface to be successful, it must respond in a way the user expects. Navigating a graphical interface should be instinctual, encouraging further use and continued exploration of its features and functions. 

Control4's OS 3 release enables intuitive menus, smoother gesture responses, and placement of tools that make it a natural experience. The screens have more prominent buttons and touch areas with easier-to-read labels, allowing you to access the actions you want with fewer taps. 

While the frictionless ease of touch screens furnish a sophisticated presentation, they can be more of a distraction in many situations. For example, when raising motorized shades or lowering the volume on the television, you have to look away from the task at hand or miss a play during the game. However, the Wi-Fi-connected Neeo handheld remote includes a mix of tactile buttons and an interactive screen. Without having to look down, choose the action you want. 

GO HANDS-FREE 

Voice control of a home has been the mainstay of enthusiastic futurists and science fiction writers. The technology has come a long way since the mid-century experiments by Bell Labs. Today, interactive 'smart' speakers are nearly commonplace. 

Control4 embraced voice control early on, interfacing over 14,000 partner products with off-the-shelf and sophisticated AI-enhanced networks. In addition, they have created an exclusive partnership with Josh.ai, the most sophisticated voice interface on the market. With capabilities and features that make off-the-shelf devices pale in comparison, you have genuine hands-free home control. 

Instead of making you use awkward phrases or technobabble, Josh allows you to speak in complete sentences and with a natural voice. Raise the kitchen lights without taking your hands out of the dough or start a sequence of events or scenes by simply saying 'Good Morning' while getting your morning coffee. Move to the living room? Josh understands geographical context and lowers the lights where you are by stating, "Ok, Josh, add some ambiance."
