As lives grow busier and time becomes more limited, homeowners are looking for ways to make life easier and Control4 offers multiple ways to provide comfort, convenience, and peace of mind.

Then, once the showing is over, your agent can turn off everything in the home and arm the security system with the press of a single button.

How much does a Control4® system helpthe environment? Dimmers, timers and occupancy sensors help reduce energy waste. In a typical three-bedroom home with a Control4 system, a family could save over 850 pounds of CO2 emissions each year — it’s like not driving a car for a month! That’s not just great for the environment, it’s also great for the homeowner’s pocketbook.

– Further savings can be realized by controlling the amount of wattage used by light bulbs

Life is Better When EverythingWorks TogetherPeople love life with Control4 because of the little things it does to make life Everyday Easy™:

– Get a text or an email when the kids arrive home from school – and when they’re playing Playstation instead of doing their homework!

– Have the lights, heat and music gradually turn up to make sure you get up on the right side of the bed, every morning.

– Push one button to turn off all the lights, adjust the temperature and make sure the alarm

system is armed, all while you’re comfortably curled up in bed.

– Don’t worry that the garage door was left open. You can check it – and close it – from any Internet connection, whether you’re in a meeting or in Maui.

– Change the way you listen to music with access to almost 5 million Rhapsody tracks through your touch screen* — and you’ll never have to admit that you actually own a Miley Cyrus album.

– And so much more!
