How Control4 Lets You Manage Your Home Your Way
From Buttons to Voice Commands, Control4 Gives You the Power of Choice
We are all unique and like to do things our way. Some of us write shopping lists on paper; others go digital on their smartphone. Some like a regular alarm clock with a big snooze button for waking up and some set an alarm with their Amazon Echo speaker.
We all interact with technology in different ways, and some of us are quite passionate about our preferences. When it comes to home automation, it tends to be the same. Some of us like buttons and switches, some of us prefer touchscreens. Can we all have it our way? With Control4 smart home automation, the answer is an emphatic yes. One of the reasons Fusion Home Systems is a Control4 dealer is to give our Las Vegas, NV, customers the power to have a smart home their way.
Read on to see how Control4 puts you in control.

Hard Buttons
Do you like the feel of switches and buttons? Many people prefer them for controlling TVs and other AV equipment, not to mention lights. With a Control4 smart home, everything need not be relegated to touch screens. Control4's new Neeo remote is an excellent example. It marries the best of intelligent control, hard buttons, and a touchscreen for seamless management of your AV and smart features like lighting, motorized shades, and temperature. You can use real buttons that work from muscle memory for oft-used things like volume, but visual touch on the screen portion to choose to turn lights on or off.
For lighting, Control4 keypads can simplify banks of lights and turning lights in a whole area on or off to your preferred settings. One-touch on a keypad sets your kitchen area brightly lit for cooking, another for a casual evening dinner. Just because your lights are smart doesn't mean you need to reach for a smartphone or touchscreen to make them so.
Soft Buttons
There are good reasons touchscreens are prevalent in our pockets, our cars, and elsewhere. A visual touchscreen interface can make a complex system easy to access and master. Control4 thinks so too, and their dedicated Touch Screens serve as sophisticated home controllers that also double as audio and video intercoms. The wireless Touch Screens can be wall-mounted for clutter-free access or sit standalone on a kitchen counter or coffee table. If you prefer, a Control4 smartphone app can also provide the same level of control. With either, you can access both individual features like lights, locks, and temperature control or combine them into smart scenes that set the stage for all your activities at home.
No Buttons
Sometimes your hands are occupied, but you want to make something happen. You may want to turn on music in the kitchen while you bake your famous banana bread. Control4 systems work with major voice control assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Home, so without skipping a beat, you can command your smart home to play your cooking playlist in the kitchen. Or you can have the system turn on the TV, show you who rang the doorbell on the video doorbell, or many other things with just your voice.
What about just having things done for you, hands-free and quietly? Control4 obliges there too, with sophisticated scheduling and geofencing capabilities to trigger what you want to do without another thought. Have the system turn your outdoor lights on at dusk and off at dawn all year long. When you walk into the house, the system can turn on lights in your path and shut the garage door behind you. Your Control4 home works for you, the way you want it.
