INCREASED PERSONALIZATION

The latest update of the Control4 OS system allows you to customize your smart home functions more than ever. Just like the other OS versions, you can select scenes for the rooms you frequently use and create an icon for them right on your touchpad or Control4 smart home app, making everything quicker and easier to access. You can also create favorites for your most-used apps and easily select them from the Favorites menu on the dashboard.

However, OS 3.3.0 contains an updated wallpaper feature, and there are many photo options that were curated by interior designers. There’s bound to be something that matches your style. If you want a more personal image, you can upload your photos. Every display in your home can have unique wallpapers, from touchpads, touch-screen remotes, and TV displays.

One of the most popular additions is the new color wheel feature. You can now seamlessly set your lights to any color with the color wheel feature on your phone. Simply slide across the color wheel to find the exact color you want. With the whole color spectrum at your fingertips, you’ll enjoy the perfect lighting color to fit your mood or the occasion. Additionally, you can save your favorite colors as presets to easily find them again and create color schemes. This feature integrates with ColorBeam, Philips Hue, DMX, KNX, FX Luminaire, and more!

CONTROL AT A GLANCE

The MyHome menu on the Control4 touchscreen uses icons to show whether doors are locked or not, what the thermostat is set to, whether your motorized blinds are open, and more. For example, the garage door icon will display as opened or closed, so you always know the status of your garage door – and any other door for that matter!

With the OS 3 update, the Control4 dashboard menu can be displayed on any TV and controlled with a handheld remote. In addition, you can feature certain technologies, channels, apps, and devices for added convenience. Then, you can quickly close the shades, dim the lights, and start streaming your favorite shows or music. However you like your home and entertainment, OS 3 makes it easier to enjoy.

CORE SERIES CONTROLLERS TO RUN NEXT-GEN SYSTEMS

It gets even better with the new Control4 CORE series controllers. The company’s new multi-core processors serve as the new foundation for Control4’s personalized automation experience. The CORE controllers run OS 3 faster and more efficiently and include a variety of new features to help automate audio and video, lighting, climate control, door locks, and other devices.
