What is Control4?
Control4 is a leading provider of personalised automation and control solutions, allowing you to control virtually any device in a home or business automatically. Lighting, shade, entertainment, energy and security can all be integrated and automated together. At Bernard Dickinson we have selected Control4 as our automation system of choice because we believe it to be the most intuitive full smart home system.
What are the benefits of Control4?
There are so many. Having a Control 4 is really transformative, giving you a smart and connected home. Convenience, peace of mind and an efficient environment that’s comfortable and safe. The time saving and streamlining aspects are very important to our customers, having the ability to manage lighting, shade, security and entertainment quickly and easily with your preferred controls, whether that’s a remote, an iPad or voice command. The Control4 interface is designed for simplicity. It is easy to use and understand and we find that our customers pick it up very quickly.
How expensive is it?
Not as much as you might think. The whole aim of Control 4 is to deliver an elegant and more affordable way to control and automate lighting, music, video, security, and energy in a single room or throughout the entire home.
