Control4 just unveiled the new Control4 X4 interface—a game-changer in smart home technology. Designed to empower you, the homeowner, Control4 X4 brings a fresh, intuitive experience to managing your home automation, making it simpler, more enjoyable, and more personalized than ever before.

What Makes Control4 X4 So Exciting?

Control4 X4 is all about making your smart home work for you, seamlessly adapting to your evolving needs without the hassle of constant updates from integrators. This new interface empowers you to take control, making adjustments on your own schedule, easily and intuitively.

As Darin Theurer, Principal Product Manager at Snap One, puts it: "Control4 X4 is an evolutionary milestone for Control4, offering significant benefits to both end-users and our partners. We’ve set the bar high with Control4 X4, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in home automation and control."

How Control4 X4 Enhances Your Experience

1. User-Friendly Customization: One of the standout features of Control4 X4 is its ability to let you fine-tune your smart home experience with ease. With new tools like Routines and Widgets, you can create, modify, and schedule custom automations directly from the Control4 App. Whether it’s adjusting lighting based on your evening habits or setting up your home security to fit your weekend plans, Control4 X4 puts the power in your hands.

2. Simplified Daily Interactions: The new interface also lets you set favorites and shortcuts for quick access to your most-used controls and scenes, making daily interactions smoother than ever. Imagine a single tap to set your home to “Movie Night” mode or to activate a security routine before bed.

3. Modern and Intuitive Design: Control4 X4 introduces a sleek, minimalist design that is not only visually appealing but also easy to navigate, even if you’re not tech-savvy. The new navigation design makes it simple to add new devices and systems to your smart home, all seamlessly integrated into the Control4 X4 interface.

4. Deeper Integration with Apple Products: If you’re an Apple user, you’ll love the enhanced Apple HomeKit functionality, which allows for unified management of your Control4 system across Apple devices like CarPlay, iPhone Control Center, and Mac Desktop. You can even launch scenes via Siri and fine-tune settings for individual devices.

Benefits for You—And Your Installer

Control4 X4 not only enhances your experience but also improves the overall efficiency of the smart home system. With the ability to make tweaks and adjustments yourself, you save time and effort that might otherwise involve reaching out to an installer for minor changes. This added self-sufficiency means fewer service calls and more immediate control over your home environment.

For integrators, this shift to a more user-driven experience allows them to focus on delivering value through new projects and advanced support. Installers can still set up initial automations, but you can then modify these as needed, ensuring your system remains perfectly aligned with your lifestyle.

When Can You Experience Control4 X4?

Control4 X4 is set to replace the existing Control4 OS 3.4.2 and the OS3 App. It will be available as an early-access release to partners in the United States starting early next year, with a broader international rollout to follow.
