Dazzle Guests with One-Tap Lighting Scenes

Smart lighting control goes far beyond helping you see. It instantly sets the perfect scene for any event, from holiday dinners and festive parties to movie nights with family and more. Craft personalized lighting scenes that complement your seasonal activities in just a touch of a button.

Tap the “Holiday” scene on your smart device or in-wall keypad to dazzle your guests with a lively ambiance that highlights your holiday décor and invites everyone to the dining room for cocktails and conversation. When the party is over, tap “Relax” to transform your lighting for rest and relaxation or “Movie” to craft the perfect setting for a fun family film.

Blanket Your Home with Holiday Entertainment

Entertain without limits this season with Control4 whole-home audio video distribution. Control4 Media Sessions lets you instantly select a movie or playlist for any and every room in your home that has a connected display and speakers—all from one intuitive interface.

Watch your favorite holiday film in the family room and finish the same movie in your bedroom without missing a beat. Keep party guests entertained by sharing high-resolution holiday tunes throughout the entire home through in-ceiling and in-wall speakers. You can also adjust the volume, skip a song, or pause the movie in any room from the same control device you use to adjust your lights.

Greet Visitors Even While You’re Away

You may be expecting visitors throughout the holiday season, but you can’t always be at the door to greet them. With Control4 Intercom Anywhere, instantly communicate with anyone who approaches your door, whether you’re cooking in the kitchen or out running errands, so you can greet them accordingly.

Intercom Anywhere sends an alert to your smartphone when someone rings your doorbell. You can then video chat with them and even unlock your door from the same app to let them inside. That way, you don’t have to interrupt the task at hand or leave your guests wondering where you are if you’re not home yet to let them in.

Secure the Home from the Comfort of Your Bed

After a busy day, Control4 lets you climb into bed with confidence that your home is secure. At-a-glance views of your home’s vital devices from the convenience of your smartphone shows you the status of your door locks, lights, fans and more from one intuitive interface so you can instantly check that your home is locked up and powered off before going to sleep.

For even more convenience, create a “Goodnight” scene that locks every door, turns off designated house lights, and sets the thermostats to your liking. You’ll sleep in peace knowing your home is secure.
