No matter the size of the property, Control4 EA controllers are capable of powering it all.

All models include HD video intercom and crystal-clear audio intercom for convenient communications from room to room or with visitors at the door or gate.

System Remote

The perfect handheld interface for the entire house, featuring an intuitive button layout perfect for one-handed operation. It is highly customizable for any room with the ability to control the audio, video, lights, shades, temperature, security, and much more. It is perfect for residences worldwide, as the remote supports multiple languages and has icon button labeling.

Climate Control

Jointly developed with the climate control experts at Aprilaire, the Control4 Wireless Thermostat delivers the right level of comfort in the most efficient way possible. It is compatible with modern HVAC systems, forced air, geothermal, dual fuel, and humidity systems, and allows for advanced adaptive scheduling to suit the needs of its residents.

Door Stations

The Control4 Door Station is available in flush or surface mount, in either black or brushed nickel, and with or without a keypad. It delivers an amazing audio and HD video intercom experience, enabling residents to monitor and communicate with the front door or the security gate. Combine with Control4 touch screens for greater convenience and peace of mind.

Entertainment

Regardless of the size of the project, residents will enjoy the power and high-quality sound that Control4 amplifiers and receivers will deliver throughout the entire house. Matrix switches deliver world-class distribution of source material to every room, and Control4 4K Ultra HD products feature HDCP 2.2 compliancy, making them compatible with current and future 4K content so residents can enjoy copy-protected 4K content on every TV throughout the house.

Speakers

Your clients will enjoy high-quality music throughout the entire house—or even outside—with speakers that can be easily hidden out of site or designed to seamlessly integrate with the design and décor of the home. With Traid speakers, you have the option of over 20 real wood veneers to match any type of millwork, the ability to match speakers and grills to any color of paint, or invisible speakers that blend into the wall.

Networking

Pakedge networking products from Control4 are designed specifically for connected properties, delivering superior wireless performance and offering the most dependable routers and switches available. You’ll get the most out of your network with incredibly high speeds, elevated traffic flow, and products designed to eliminate lag, jitter, and buffering.

Control4 App

The Control4 App turns iOS or Android mobile devices into the ultimate smart home command center. It allows for control and management of all of the system’s features, such as lights, temperature, cameras, audio/ video equipment, smart door locks, and more. And with a 4Sight subscription, residents can also enjoy remote access of their home.

Voice Control

With a Control4 4Sight license and an Amazon Echo, residents can control their entire home using just their voice. While certain features can be set up by the homeowner—such as control of the lights and thermostats— more advanced programming will require a dealer.

78 HOME AUTOMATION IDEAS

THINK SMART HOME, THINK GVR GROUPS

http://www.gvrgroups.com

Home automation is much more than a one-trick pony. When you build on a strong foundation, such as an advanced operating system that powers your whole home, the possibilities are endless. We could list home automation ideas all day long, but here are 78 to get you started, plus 5 BONUS Voice Control ideas that are sure to get you talking!
 
SMART LIGHTING IDEAS
1. One button press turns on all lighting for a given room or floor; not just one light.
2. Double-tap the same button to turn everything (lighting, electronics, devices, etc.) in the room off.
3. Lights flash in your garage when someone rings the doorbell.
4. When then garage door opens after dark the outdoor lights leading up to your door and just inside the house automatically turn on.
5. Motion sensors in key areas can signal the automation system to switch off lights when a room has been vacant for a period of time.
6. Landscape lighting can turn on automatically at sunset and off again at sunrise.
7. A “Bedtime” scene can set bedside lamps at a level just low enough for comfortable reading.
8. With the touch of an “All Off” button, all of the lights in your entire home turn off.
9. Midnight snack – just enough light to make your way to the refrigerator and back without disturbing family members.
10. Motion sensing – At night, when motion is sensed, ramp lights to 15% (just enough light to see, not to be blinded).
11. Turn off lights automatically each morning when kids leave for school.
12. If the natural light in the room is less than 50%, lights adjust to 50%. If natural light is less than 40%, lights adjust to 60%, and so on.  This helps for when the shades are drawn, or on a cloudy day in the middle of summer.
13. Landscape lighting – have the lights come on brighter at sunset, and then dim to 20% at 11pm to conserve energy.

SMART MUSIC IDEAS
14. Stream music to every room in your home, with a dedicated keypad place in each room.
15. Push all of your stored music throughout the home via distributed audio zones accessed through your smart phone, keypads, and touch screens.
16. Tap a button on a keypad to activate a zone of music. If you tap the music, it can change the LED to an assigned color for each family member (with their favorite playlist/settings).
17. Double tap the volume button to turn off an audio zone.
18. Music starts automatically in the bathroom when you turn on the shower lights.
19. Install a touch screen behind a waterproof wall mount in your shower to control music streaming in the shower.

Hot House, Cool Home
21. Use your grand piano as an audio source, which can be played through your entire home’s in-ceiling speakers.
22. Link your piano with your Control4 system, and the music can be heard anywhere in the world where you have access to your home automation system.
23. Create a “Music” scene, which sets the lights at 30% and volume at your favorite level – perfect for late-night focus while working on a project.  
ENTERTAINING AUTOMATION IDEAS
24. A “Party” scene – create instant ambiance with the press of a button with lighting that illuminates key decorative elements and a customized playlist that starts up automatically.
25. Someone drop in unexpectedly? No worries. Get notified when guests arrive by broadcasting a chime through the audio zone’s speakers where the party’s at.
26. Incorporate microphones into the whole-house audio system, so you can broadcast presentations throughout the entire home.
27. Use your iPad to tell the refrigerator when you’re out of ice, so it can ramp up production.

29. Automatically lock your home’s front and rear doors when a movie starts.
30. When you press play, dim the lights gradually over 7 seconds.
31. When you press pause, bring the lights up by 30%.

33. Program your golf simulation room to double as a home theater.
Home Automation for the Whole Family!

SMART SECURITY IDEAS
37. Automate your bedroom touch screen to see who’s at the door when the bell rings.
38. When the doorbell is pressed, “Who can it be now” plays through speakers, the security camera rotates to the front door, the TV or movie is paused, and if it’s night time, the outside patio light turns on from 20% to 75%.
39. Watching TV when someone rings the doorbell? Have an image from the surveillance camera appear on any TV that happens to be on, pausing the TV show or movie for 15 seconds.
40. Built-in alerts which will notify you if the front door is left open for longer than five minutes or if the front gate is ajar for longer than ten.

47. “Mockupancy” scenes – lighting that is automated to make the house appear occupied, when you’re away on a trip.

51. Driveway motion sensor – when motion is sensed, cameras go to home position and start recording, outside lights ramp up, and text message alerts are sent to smart devices.
52. Forget to lock your doors? – Program the doors to auto lock three minutes after the garage door closes when you leave for work. 
53. When the back door to the garage opens, turn on the inside garage lights if natural lighting is below 50%.
