Never Leave Your Home Behind with the Control4 App

Many people invest in smart home technology because they can manage devices through apps. Having a smart home system further optimizes your space by placing all your technology—lighting, climate, security, and more—under a single app. Everything lives under one umbrella for easy access—even when you are not home.

Get access to your smart technology even when you are across the globe through our Control4 home automation systems. While on vacation at Salt Lake City’s ski resorts or at the office, you’ll be able to pull up an app on your laptop, tablet or smartphone to make any necessary changes to your home. Read some of the ways this on-the-go feature boosts your security, energy efficiency and comfort.

Security

Usually, homeowners use their remote smart home features for security more than anything else. Don’t worry about ensuring doors were locked and alarms were set as you rush out of the house in the morning. All you have to do is pull up your Control4 app to check your security system's status and make any changes as needed. For greater peace of mind, set up push notifications that let you know if a door was left open or someone tried to deactivate your alarm. 

Through your Control4 app, you’ll also be able to view live surveillance footage of your home at any time. Quickly pull up live footage to ensure everything is as you left it, see who’s at the front door, or check if your children are doing their homework. Reduce safety vulnerabilities by letting in dog walkers or house cleaners remotely through the app instead of leaving them a spare key or providing them with one they could easily copy.

Energy Efficiency

Keep your energy bills low by managing your usage when you’re away. It can be hard to keep track of what devices are on when you leave the house. Now, you can take advantage of your remote access to reduce waste. Pull up your app and see what lights or TVs are on and then turn them off as needed. Save additional energy by taking some eco-conscious steps directly from your app. Change the thermostat to energy-saving mode when you leave and, depending on the season, open or close motorized shades to better regulate the temperature in your home.

Comfort & Convenience

It’s easy to come home to the perfect environment every time with the Control4 app. Deploy a unique "Welcome" scene while driving home, so your home is ready for you when you arrive. Have the lights in the driveway turn on, door unlock, alarm deactivate, and the thermostat adjust to your ideal temperature. Add a special relaxing playlist or have the TV in the living room turn on to the evening news. Though this can also be accomplished through scheduled scenes, that may not be the best option for people with a more unpredictable lifestyle.
