Integrate It All

The average American home has 11 connected smart devices, but that doesn’t include smart home solutions such as motorized window treatments, smart locks, or climate control. With so many modern homes regularly adding smart devices to their homes, managing them all can turn into a headache without the right control system. That’s where Control4 comes to the rescue.

All of your devices can work seamlessly together with one simple and intuitive interface – even your kids can use it!  There’s no need to juggle multiple apps for each smart solution thanks to the power of Control4. You can control each smart solution independently or create custom scenes that combine various steps into one keystroke. For example, simply tap the ‘Goodnight’ scene to turn off all indoor lighting, turn on outdoor lights and arm your security system.

Multi-Room Audio

Whether you prefer showpiece loudspeakers that serve as conversation pieces, or more contemporary Sonos wireless speakers, you can easily control your multi-room audio system with Control4. Stream your favorite Deezer or iHeartRadio stations throughout the house while having a family dance party or enjoy the powerful and emotional sound from the comfort of your dedicated listening room. With a simple voice command, you could change the mood to set the stage for a romantic dinner at home with your partner. Lower the motorized shades, dim the lights and play relaxing dinner party music with just a finger tap.

Intercom Anywhere

Beyond controlling multiple smart technology solutions throughout your Somerset County home, Control4 lets you communicate with every room of your home using Intercom Anywhere. You can utilize this feature as an extension of your video doorbell station – giving insight into who is standing at your front door from the convenience of your smartphone while you’re not at home, or if you are home, from any Control4 touchscreen.

If your babysitter doesn’t answer their phone, you can even use Intercom Anywhere to dial into any of your Control4 tabletop or wall-mounted touchscreens to see and hear what’s happening in your home. Check-in in real-time to bring peace of mind.

Intra Home Systems is Your Control4 Dealer
