How Does Control4 Work?
Control4 has been around for nearly 20 years now and has proven itself one of the premier home automation systems on the market. Control4 is a hub that knits together the various features of your smart home, providing centralised control over everything from lights, locks, thermostat, security cams, TVs, music, kitchen appliances, the garage door and more. With Control4 you can personalise the experience of your home to suit your tastes, satisfy your desire to save energy and address your security concerns.
Control4 provides you the option of controlling everything from a centralised panel in your home, or remotely using the Control4 MyHome smartphone app. Remote control enables you to not only monitor security cameras from distant locations, but to create the impression someone is home by remotely turning lights on and off or raising and lowering blinds.
The Case for Choosing Professional Installation
Some will say that installing the Control4 system is within the skillset of the experienced DIYer. In reality, harmonizing the hardware and software in a way that will provide foolproof functionality is a job best left to a professional. But we’d be remiss if we just said “hire a pro” and left it at that. So below are several good reasons for choosing professional Control4 installation.
You will get the most from the technology
Home automation is a fast-moving field. Even during those times when there are no major hardware updates forthcoming software and feature sets often undergo upgrades. Your professional installer will be aware of them and make sure your home automation system is up-to-date so that you can get the most from it.
The pro will know how to tailor the features to your home
There are always going to be some features that are great for some homes and sort of irrelevant for others. In addition, certain features will need to be configured in a way that enables them to dovetail with your specific needs. A professional Control4 installer will know how to customize the system to suit your needs.
Using a professional will provide peace of mind
You choose a home automation system for the convenience and peace of mind it’s supposed to provide. But if you install it yourself, or have a friend or family member do it, it’s likely you’ll always be wondering if they missed something. And there’s a good chance they did. Choosing a pro will let you rest easy and enjoy the system.
A pro can work with other pros
If the installation of a Control4 system is being done in conjunction with a general renovation or remodel, the installation professional can work with the architect, electrician or interior designer to integrate the system seamlessly into the overall decor.
