What Does a Control4 Dealer Do?

Partnering with a Pro is the Way to Go

For anyone considering a new home automation system, you can’t do better than Control4. Control4 is a leading automation system for homes and businesses worldwide—and founded here in Salt Lake City! Control4 connects all your devices into one system, from lighting to audio to security. From there, you’ll easily control your devices through the C4 app, remote, or customized wall keypads. 

The possibilities are endless with Control4. Pre-programmed scenes may automatically raise your blinds in the morning, adjust your smart lights to the perfect color temperature in the afternoon, and play your favorite tunes over multi-room speakers. 

But Control4 is not a DIY solution. You’ll need a certified Control4 dealer to design, program, and install your smart home. You may be wondering, why do I need to work with a dealer? And what do they do exactly? We’ll explain what it’s like to partner with a C4 integrator in your Park City, UT home.

Designs a System That Suits Your Lifestyle 

When you start working with a Control4 dealer, we’ll first ask questions to determine how you’d like to use your smart system and what’s most important to your lifestyle. Maybe you never considered that you’d like to automate the HVAC system, for example, or outdoor landscape lighting. If you’re building a new home, we’ll plan where in-wall wiring will go and leave space for future additions. If the system is going in an existing home, we’ll find ways to hide wires or used wireless connections.

Integrates All Technology Under One Control System 

The C4 controller is the brains of your smart home, linking all your electronics to one hub. Once your systems are integrated, you’ll access the whole home from your touch screens, voice assistant, or keypads. So whether you’re in the living room or traveling far away, you can turn on lights, make sure doors are locked, and check surveillance footage in seconds. 

Programs Custom Scenes and When>>Then Sequences 

This is where it gets fun. Your C4 dealer will program personalized scenes that suit your daily habits. For instance, a scene like ‘Movie Night’ in the home theater will set off a chain of events. Lights dim, shades lower, the projector screen will descend, and your streaming service will turn on. 

On custom-engraved wall keypads, you can select buttons like ‘Morning’ and ‘Night’ that create the perfect atmosphere in seconds. Tap ‘Away,’ and all your technology will power off, saving precious time as you head out the door. And Control4’s When>>Then sequencing signals your home to respond to actions in a domino-like fashion. Let’s say you unlock the front door. When the door opens, the foyer, hallway, and kitchen lights will instantly turn on, welcoming you home.
