Why Control4 Still Leads in Whole-Home Automation

Control4 unifies lighting, climate, audio, video, security, shades, and more into a single,
elegant experience. Unlike piecemeal DIY apps, Control4 provides a cohesive interface,
professional-grade reliability, and deep integration with thousands of devices—ideal for luxury
homes and high-performance spaces.

What’s New in X4

1) A Smarter Home Screen

The new Home Screen acts as your command center. Pin favorites, scenes, cameras, and room
views so the controls you use most are always one tap away. It’s faster, cleaner, and designed
to minimize menu diving.

2) Widgets You Can Arrange Your Way

Widgets surface live device status and controls (think front door lock, garage, climate,
lights, and more). Resize and rearrange them to match your habits—put essentials at the top
and move less-used controls out of the way.

3) Routines You Can Edit Yourself

With Routines, homeowners can create and adjust automations without calling an integrator.
Schedule, trigger, and refine sequences that coordinate lighting, shades, climate, security,
and audio to fit your day.

Evening Routine: At sunset, illuminate pathways, lower shades, set climate, and start a playlist.
Nightlight: If motion is detected after midnight, bring hallway lights to 20% for safer walks.
Vacation Mode: Alternate lights and shades to simulate occupancy while you’re away.

4) Deep Apple Integration (HomeKit & Siri)

X4 brings Control4 devices and scenes into Apple’s ecosystem. Use Siri voice commands, access
controls from your iPhone, iPad, and Mac, add iOS Widgets, and trigger scenes conveniently—
including from the road with CarPlay support. It’s a seamless bridge for Apple-centric homes.

5) Performance & Accessibility Upgrades

Expect faster navigation, clearer visuals on touchscreens and mobile, and thoughtful
accessibility improvements that make everyday control quicker and more intuitive for everyone
in the home.

Benefits for Homeowners

Personalization without complexity: Tune Home Screen, Widgets, and Routines to your lifestyle.
Speed: Fewer taps to everyday actions—lock up, set scenes, adjust climate.
Voice convenience: Natural control with Siri across your Apple devices.
Future-ready platform: Access ongoing features, integrations, and security updates.

Benefits for Property Managers & Builders

Lower support load: Residents can adjust many automations themselves.
Consistency: One reliable platform across lighting, AV, security, and climate.
Scalability: X4’s interface scales beautifully from condos to large estates.

Is Your System Ready for X4?

Most modern Control4 systems can upgrade, but some legacy devices may have limited support or
require refresh. We’ll audit your controllers, touchscreens, lighting modules, and drivers to
confirm compatibility and recommend the best path forward.

Personalize: Arrange Widgets, set up initial Routines, and surface the controls you use most.

Support: Post-upgrade health checks and priority support options via our Service Agreements.

Real-World Ideas to Try on Day One

Good Morning: Raise bedroom shades, bring lights to 50%, start news radio, and bump the thermostat up two degrees.

Welcome Home: CarPlay trigger opens the gate, turns on entry lights, and cues your favorite scene.
