What Can I Automate in My Home with Control4?
Sync & Control All Your Home’s Technologies in One System
Remember the Apple commercial tagline, “There’s an app for that”? The saying’s never been truer, as more and more “smart devices” hit the shelves and online shopping carts. Every smart device seems to have its own app, from intelligent lights to video doorbells and even digital picture frames.
But who wants to juggle through ten different apps to use their home’s devices? For a truly luxurious smart home, you need a system that integrates everything under one umbrella.
Enter Control4. It’s a sophisticated home system that controls and automates all your devices—even technologies and systems that you might not consider ‘smart’ like ceiling fans or garage doors.
Read on to discover what you can automate in a Control4 home. And if you’re looking for a Control4 dealer in the Highland Park, TX area, contact Texadia Systems here!

Lighting and Window Shades
Automated lighting and shading can save your household time, energy, and enhance ambiance through color-tunable settings. One tap on your phone or tablet activates lights for any room or floor, grouping them for custom settings. Press ‘All Off’ on a wall keypad or Control4’s Neeo remote, and every light shuts off at once.
Temperature Control
Imagine your AC or heat automatically powering off as you step out the door for work. Do you want to return to an already cool or warm house? Control4 allows you to remotely control the HVAC system through the Control4 app, so you can power it on before you head home.
Energy Management
If you own solar panels or a power storage system, you can manage it all with Control4. Check the panels’ energy production or instruct your energy storage system to turn on when power is lost. You can even measure your household’s energy use to evaluate where you can cut back. Are lights using too much power? Schedule landscape lights to turn off at eleven—on the same Contorl4 interface!
Surveillance
Control4 takes security and surveillance a step further. Yes, you can check camera footage in real-time, but Control4 helps with smaller security details, too. Built-in alerts tell you if the garage door has been left open for ten minutes or longer, and ‘Mockupancy’ scenes activate lights and shades to mimic the appearance of a busy home while you’re away. You can create temporary passwords for smart locks and check the status of locks from anywhere in the world.
Music
From the backyard to the kitchen, you can enjoy music through every area of the house with multi-room speakers in your Control4 system. You’ll freely control the song selection and speaker volume from your phone or tablet, activating audio zones while turning others off. Your house becomes everyone’s favorite party destination with whole-home audio!
Home Theater
Turn on a ‘Movie Night’ scene in the home theater, and your projector immediately descends from the ceiling, the motorized shades block out ambient light, and your display powers on. From the same Control4 remote or app, you can pull up Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, or your downloaded movie library. Triple-tap a light switch to find your remote, and when you press ‘play,’ overhead lights will slowly dim.
Control4 consolidates all your technology under one system, streamlining everyday actions and simplifying life. Are you interested to learn more for your Highland Park-area home? Contact Texadia Systems, a certified Control4 dealer, to get started!
