Control4 Services: Home Automation Beyond The Walls Of Your Home

Control4® home automation products offer extensive features and functionality. Leveraging standards-based IP communication, these products connect easily with the surrounding world, allowing Control4 Services to extend home automation beyond the physical walls of a residence.

By subscribing to Control4 Services, users can significantly enhance the functionality, convenience, and control of their home automation system, while also gaining access to a wide array of media and entertainment sources.

Control4's vision is to bring the benefits of a truly automated home to more people through solutions that are affordable, easy to install, and adaptable to any home or lifestyle.

A computer monitor displays the Control4 Navigator interface. The interface shows a main window with various control categories organized, including 'Home Theater', 'TV/Video', and 'Lights'. Other elements visible on the screen include navigation links, volume controls, and system status indicators, suggesting comprehensive home automation management.

Easy Subscription Packages

Control4 Services are available to end users through affordable subscription packages, structured to meet various needs and budgets. These packages provide advanced system capabilities, control, and convenience, while also streamlining customer support for both users and dealers. Subscription packages are bundled from a diverse selection of services.

Control From Anywhere

Remote Home Control

Being away from home does not mean losing touch. With Control4, subscribers can maintain full control of their home from any location via the Internet. Users securely connect to their home using a web-based version of the Control4 Navigator software, enabling comprehensive monitoring and control of their home automation system through the same familiar Navigator interface used locally.

Remote Home Programming

Remote Home Programming eliminates the need for costly on-site support and resolves scheduling conflicts for both dealers and homeowners. Control4 enables trained dealers to remotely access and perform ongoing personalization and maintenance of a home automation system without requiring an on-site presence. The Control4 solution facilitates connections to subscriber homes, even without a publicly accessible IP address.

Email Notifications

Control4 enhances event notification capabilities by allowing subscribers to receive personalized event alerts via email, regardless of their location. These events can include notifications for utility bill payments, temperature changes, or triggered security alarms.

Offsite System Backup

Control4 safeguards the time and expertise invested in personalizing a home automation system through periodic offsite backups of system configuration data. In the event of any system failure or disaster, a user's home automation system can be quickly restored, saving both time and resources.

Users can securely connect to their home via a web-based Control4 Navigator interface, offering the same comfortable experience as using it locally.

Expanded Media Content

A diagram illustrates the Control4 Services ecosystem. At the center is a 'Control4 System End User'. Connected to this user via the 'Internet' are various services: 'Remote Home Control', 'Remote Home Programming', 'Email Notifications', 'Online Music Library', 'Personalized News', 'Internet Radio', and 'Online Media Ordering'. Also connected to the system are 'System Agents Library', 'Skins & Sounds Library', 'System Data Backup', and 'Software Updating', indicating these are integral components of the Control4 system.

Personalized News

Accessing concise news and information can often be challenging. Control4 Personalized News allows users to quickly and conveniently view headline news, weather forecasts, sports updates, and stock information tailored to their specific interests, displayed on touch screens, televisions, and other onscreen devices.

Internet Radio

Control4 brings Internet radio content directly to the home audio system, liberating it from the PC. Users can access thousands of stations across a wide variety of genres.

Online Music Library

Online music libraries are no longer restricted to a computer. Control4 integrates music access directly into the home environment. Users can easily navigate extensive online music libraries using rich graphical interfaces and stream selected music directly through their home audio system. Tracks or entire albums can be streamed without per-song charges.

Online Media Ordering

When a song or video is identified within a Control4 system, its title and artist information are automatically linked to the ability to easily purchase relevant CDs and DVDs, with the media delivered directly to the user's doorstep.

Dynamic Software

System Agent Library

A variety of time-saving templates, known as System Agents, are pre-installed on Control4 controllers for common automated functions such as lighting scenes, wake-up sequences, occupancy simulation, and scheduling. Subscribers gain access to Control4's continually expanding library of agents, enabling users and dealers to further enhance and personalize the intelligence of their home.

Interface Skins Library

While all Control4 systems include a variety of pre-installed skins, the Skins Library provides subscribers access to Control4's ever-expanding collection of skins featuring unique themes, styles, and colors. These skins can be applied and changed by end users quickly, in seconds.

Sounds Library

Subscribers have access to a wide range of home automation sounds through the Control4 Sounds Library. These sound effects, such as a chime indicating a door opened after a specific hour or a reminder for a scheduled event, help keep users informed of important occurrences within the home.

Software Updating

All Control4 systems receive basic driver and software updates. Subscribers benefit from dynamic updating and enhancement of all available software components, ensuring users always have the most reliable and feature-rich software without the need for manual upgrades.
