Help Get Your Kids to Bed on Time
Getting kids to sleep on time isn’t always an easy endeavor. Some want to keep watching TV or playing video games while others stay up all night reading in their beds. Whatever the reason, home automation can help make the process easier.
With Control4, you can swiftly turn off all the TVs in the home with one button tap or by voice command—or schedule them to turn off at a certain time each night—to let the kids know it’s time for sleep. You can also program the lights in your kids’ bedrooms to turn off at a certain time. To make sure they didn’t mischievously turn the lights back on, use the Control4 app to check on the status of the bedroom lights and adjust them accordingly.
Bask in Perfect Lighting from Day to Night
When you integrate light sensors with your Control4 system, you can bask in the perfect lighting from day to night. When natural light is sensed in a room, your overhead lights will automatically dim or turn off entirely so you can take advantage of the sun’s rays. When it gets cloudy or the sun begins to set, your indoor lights will brighten to make up the difference. Sensors help you maintain the perfect lighting and can reduce your energy usage, too!
Replace Your Alarms with Whole-Home Music
Did you know Control4 is also a whole-home audio system? Replace your jarring alarm sounds with music to help you wake up more easily in the morning. While you may be thinking, “I can do that with a digital alarm clock,” Control4 goes a step further by allowing you to stream any music in any room that has connected speakers. Wake up to your favorite playlist in the bedroom, keep listening as you descend to the kitchen, and enjoy the playlist on the patio as you step out to watch the sunrise.
Always Know Who’s at the Door
Whether you have a video doorbell or a front door camera, you’ll always know who’s at the door with Control4. When the doorbell rings, Control4 can display the live surveillance footage on your TV screen or send you a mobile alert and display the footage on your smartphone. If you’re on the other side of the house or not home but want to let the visitor in, use the Control4 app to remotely disarm your alarm system and unlock the door. Once they’re inside, use the app to secure the home again.
