It’s Time to Upgrade Your Current Control4 System to Control4 X4

Control4 Ushers in a Brand New Era of Smart Home Technology 

If you’ve been using the Control4 smart home control system for a while, you know its incredible capabilities. It offers intuitive, one-touch control of your entire smart home, from lights to climate, security, entertainment, and more. 

Recently, it got even better with Control4 X4. If you want to experience a more personalized, simpler, and smarter home, our Applause Custom Sight & Sound home automation experts recommend upgrading to their latest X4 OS.  

Here, we’ll explore this new version, including what it’s capable of and why homeowners throughout Kansas City, MO, are taking the leap.

The Next Generation Experience

Control4 X4 offers a significant upgrade in smart home living. Completely redesigned, it provides a personalized experience through easy access to your most commonly used controls. Now, these favorites will pop up on your home screen or a particular room, requiring one tap instead of navigating several screens. 

Previously, you would have to rely on an integrator to program specialized requests. The latest operating system includes customizable Widgets and Routines that let you effortlessly program updates that align with your changing lifestyle. 

For instance, do you want to schedule a time for your shades to open, the climate to adjust, and your favorite jazz song to stream through your home in the morning? Maybe you want to change the landscape lights to a golden glow when the spa heats, and your outdoor speakers stream your ‘Chill-Out’ playlist at day’s end. You can make these adjustments in minutes with Control4 X4.  

Whole-Home Audio Made Simple

Whole-home audio systems are one of our clients’ most sought-after home entertainment features. They let you play one song throughout your home or different audio in varying rooms simultaneously. Before X4, you would have to navigate to the room and then initiate audio from the home screen. Now, you select one or more rooms to send audio to directly from the home screen. 

The new media sessions screen provides simple controls for all the media playing in your home and lets you see what devices everyone is tuned into. 

Connecting Control4 to Apple Home

Control4 X4 offers enhanced compatibility with Apple HomeKit, enabling you to access scenes, manage devices, and convert Apple ecosystem devices into customizable interfaces. This includes Apple widgets, CarPlay, and Siri.  

Are you ready for a modern and effortless approach to managing your smart home? Simple, intuitive, and non-technically minded, the Control4 X4 interface is the future of home automation. 

At Applause Custom Sight & Sound, we believe smart home living should be simple, easy, and fun. It’s the belief we’ve carried for over 20 years and one our clients appreciate. For a free consultation, please contact us at (913) 498-1183, use the live chat box below, or fill out our contact form.
