Completely integrated home automation has never been as seamless than with Control4. The goal? To keep everything in your space completely connected and easy to modify in one simple system. There's no jumping from app to app or moving from one remote to another. Control4 consolidates everything you need for your smart home into one easy-to-use interface that outpaces the competition. If you're looking for the best, there's simply no competitor. It's all thanks to the upgraded OS that makes everything easier, from monitoring to light modifications and beyond. And Abt has won accolades from the brand year after year, holding titles like "Diamond Dealer", "Pinnacle Dealer" and even 2017's "Dealer of the Year".
Control4's smart operation transforms everyday functions into simple, intelligent tasks. It's all thanks to their OS—everything lives here, from intelligent lighting to multi-room audio and home theater functionality. Explore all the different ways you can use the brand's OS: it's made for ease of use. Tap into the system using the brand's customizable tablets, or open up your system's smartphone app to adjust your settings. Move the volume up and down as you stream music, turn the TV on, or turn different lighting on or off from all across the home. Even use their remote controls to keep your space looking the way you want. Keep one near a spot you love to lounge, like in the kitchen or by the living room sofa. With one of these, you'll have all of your automation in one hand. The remote (and other voice assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant) even allows you to adjust settings using only your voice. Simply use commands like "Lock the doors" or "Open the shades" and Control4 goes to work.
Home safety and complete security are just some of the smart technology features that Control4 wraps up in a neat, easy-to-manage bow. While the brand does feature its own equipment like high-powered web surveillance cameras, you'll find that the built-in OS works well with other smart devices, even ones for safety and surveillance. Safety is always a priority, but instead of worrying about trespassers or porch pirates, let Control4 manage your homestead. It's easy to check on your locks, garage door, cameras, lights and more (even when you're not at home). Do it all through the Control4 app. Even set up daily automatic tasks, too, with indoor and outdoor lights that come on once the sun sets as well as door locks that click closed when you leave your space in the morning. Simple functions like these make it easy to protect what matters most to you, even if you're on the other side of the world.
