Remotely Manage All Your Devices

Using the Control4 app on your smartphone or tablet, you can quickly check in on the state of your home and adjust anything while you’re on the road, on the beach, or in the mountains—as long as you have an internet connection. Check out a few of many actions you can take remotely: 

  • Lock or unlock your doors, and open or close the garage.
  • Arm or disarm your security system.
  • View live and stored security camera footage.
  • Turn on the porch and foyer lights for the babysitter.
  • Turn on landscape lights for increased security after dark.
  • Adjust the thermostats to energy-efficient temperatures. 

Receive Alerts for Any Activity

While Control4 makes it easy to look in on your home around the clock, you won’t always be checking everything while enjoying your vacation. Instead, lean on alerts that let you know as soon as an event occurs or when something isn’t right. Check out a few of many events you can be alerted to:

  • Visitors or family members enter or exit your home.
  • Motion is detected in a certain area indoors or outdoors.
  • The liquor cabinet has been opened.
  • Someone adjusts the thermostat.
  • Someone rings your video doorbell.
  • A window is left open, or a door is unlocked.
  • Lights are left on after a period of time. 

Simulate a Lived-in Home

While Control4 can notify you of activity happening around your property, leaving home for a while can still add stress to an otherwise relaxing vacation. For more peace of mind, take advantage of Control4 Mockupancy. Mockupancy is an occupation simulation feature that replays your everyday behaviors while you’re away to persuade outside observers that you or someone is home.

Control4 can keep track of your lights, motorized window treatments, and entertainment patterns while you’re home and simulate them when you leave. Lights will turn on and off at expected times, TVs will turn on in the evening and off before bed, and shades will open in the morning and close at night.
