Your Local Control4 Dealer Creates the Smart Home of Your Dreams!

The average modern day home is typically composed of an array of smart devices that are smart individually, often requiring their own app for control.

The control system provides cross-platform communication between thousands of different smart devices to allow whole-home control through one single app.  

Today’s smart home in Overland Park, KS, performs your daily routines, creates the perfect setting for the many events and moods that make up your life, and manages your home’s smart systems with one tap of a button on a Control4 keypad or a voice command through a Josh.ai system. It’s not just smart; it’s intelligent.

As a Control4 dealer, Applause Custom Sight & Sound partners with this leading home automation platform to ensure our clients receive the best customized solutions available. Let’s explore what it means to live in a smart home today.

Your Local Control4 Pinnacle Diamond Dealer Offers a Customized Approach

When people first start integrating smart technology into their homes, they may begin with a piecemeal approach using DIY smart devices. They start with smart lighting bulbs and then add smart thermostats and a video doorbell. Next, they purchase a smart speaker and indoor camera.

Eventually, they have numerous smart devices, all controlled with separate apps. This approach and outcome are far different than a home automation system created by Applause Custom Sight & Sound, the customer-centric smart home company serving Kansas City, MO, for over two decades.

A home automation platform manages all your smart devices and systems, from climate, lighting, shades, audio and video equipment, security, pool and spa, and more.
