1) Control4 allows you to start small. I don't
know about you but just the idea of a $50,000
price tag for home technology can be overwhelming
to many people. Now while it is very easy to
spend that and more on a true home automation
system... it is not necessary with the Control4
system. Many homeowners start off with using the
control4 system as a smart remote control for
their home theater system. They invest in a Home
Theater Controller and then they add on
additional home automation modules as they see
fit and can afford to. Down the road a few light
switches can be added in to the system. Even
further down the road you can tie in your
security system & thermostats. Some people even
add music throughout their home with this system.
Just remember that you can start off your home
automation with one project at a time-- yet still
have a system that integrates everything
seamlessly.
2) The Control4 system allows you to turn on your
television and see a copy of every DVD movie that
you own. When you combine the Control4 system
with the Sony 400 disc DVD player, the system
accesses the Internet and automatically searches
for the DVD jackets cover art. Now you no longer
have to look for your movies or worry about them
getting scratched by the kids. The Movies stay in
the DVD player all of the time. All you have to
do is turn on the TV and with your Control4
Atlanta Home Theater Controller-- simply click on
the "video" button. Instantly you will see a
picture of every DVD movie you own. Choose a
movie by clicking on it & the system does
everything else. No more wrestling with 6 remote
controls.
3) Control 4 uses Wi-fi, Ethernet and a
relatively unheard of technology called...Zigbee
802.15.4 mesh networking standard. Believe it or
not the name "ZigBee" is comes from zig- zag
patterns made by bees when they go flower to
flower to collect pollen. This is similar to the
invisible webs of connections existing in a fully
wireless Zigbee system. So what that means in
simple English is that the more Zigbee devices
you add to the system...the stronger the
connection will be since each device will feed
off of the next. All of the Control4 lighting
dimmers are Zigbee based. The LCD keypads may be
Zigbee based or hard wired via Ethernet.
4) What does this mean for you? Zigbee technology
means that if you live in an existing home that
does not give you access to run wires for home
automation technology...you still can use
Control4. By taking advantage of the Zigbee
protocol and Wi-fi, you can add complete home
automation to your house including your lighting,
thermostats, security and movies. In fact, if you
want to add zones of distributed audio (music in
other rooms) there is even something called the
Control4 Speaker Point. This allows you to
deliver remote audio throughout the home without
running any wires back to your audio source.
5) The Control4 system is very user friendly. You
do not have to have an engineering degree to use
it. In fact... I have had clients choose it
instead of some of the more expensive systems
just for its simplicity and ease of use.
Home automation and smart home technology are
here to stay. Why not look for an affordable home
automation system that can grow with you, add
value to your home and give you pleasure at the
same time.
