What’s New for Your Control4 Home Automation System?

Have you had a Control4 smart home system for a while? Congratulations, you’re likely enjoying the ease it brings to daily life in your Milton, GA home. The other great thing about your smart home investment is that it keeps improving. Since 2004, Control4 has been on a never-ending quest to make your home smarter and easier to manage.

You may be completely happy with what your smart home does today, but there are some new wrinkles and features that could make your experience that much better. And they’re all available with a call to GHT Group, Atlanta’s leading Control4 installer. Keep reading below to learn about three new features you might just have to have!

Elegant Lighting Keypads

Do you have Control4 lighting control? If you do, you might be interested in their stylish, new Contemporary Lighting keypads. If you don't, we can set you up with lighting control, as Control4 has solutions that work for retrofit installations as well as new constructions and remodels. The new keypads have ten striking new finishes, excellent tactile feel, and intelligent backlighting. How about a button that controls your garage door and glows green when closed and red when open? Just touch it when you're ready to close it for the evening. It's just one example of intuitive and intelligent home control.

Welcome Software Upgrades

Do you like how Night Mode on your Apple device dims the screen for more comfortable use in the evening? You’ll be happy to know it’s also arrived for Control4 Touchscreen controllers. There’s nothing more annoying than an overly bright screen in a dark room, and this update makes your controller easier on the eyes. You can enable this yourself on your Control4 OS 3 system or have us do it for you. You can also customize when Night Mode comes on, just like on your Apple device. 

If you have Control4 whole-home audio, you'll love the new software EQ feature for adjusting how each room sounds. Spike the bass for the latest pop (as if it didn't have enough already!) or bring up the midrange for your favorite vocalist. Every room has different acoustics, so now you can customize it to the music!

One Less App

Do you remember the Apple tagline, "there's an app for that," a decade ago? Well, Control4 now has one less app for something. The latest update to the Control4 OS 3 app for iOS now includes the intercom functionality. If you like to communicate with your kids or babysitter – or anyone – through the intercom feature of your Control4 touchscreens, you don’t need the old Intercom Anywhere app anymore. Instead, enjoy the powerful intercom features of Control4 through the same fluid, friendly interface that manages your lights, temperature, AV, smart locks, and more. And, if you have multiple homes with Control automation, it works for all of them!
