Control4’s Intuitive Interface

One of the key features we love about Control4 is its intuitive interface, which allows users to manage all connected devices from a single platform. Whether dimming the lights for a cozy movie night, setting the perfect temperature for a dinner party, or queueing up your favorite playlist for a relaxing evening, Control4 makes it effortless to create the ideal ambiance for any occasion. 

Control4’s compatibility with a wide range of smart devices ensures homeowners can tailor their automation setup to suit their unique preferences and lifestyles. Control4 home automation integrates with leading brands to provide a comprehensive home automation solution, from smart thermostats and lighting systems to security cameras and audiovisual equipment.

Elevated Aesthetics

Beyond convenience, Control4 home automation elevates the aesthetic appeal of any home. Sleek touch screen panels, elegant keypads, and discrete sensors blend seamlessly into any interior design, preserving the space's visual harmony while adding a touch of modern sophistication. Whether a minimalist apartment or a sprawling estate, Control4 enhances the ambiance without compromising style. 

Effortless Integration 

Another aspect contributing to Control4's effortless elegance is its focus on simplicity and reliability. Control4 is designed for seamless integration and hassle-free operation. With professional installation and ongoing support, homeowners can rest assured that their automation system will perform flawlessly, day in and day out.

Advanced Features

Control4 home automation also offers advanced features that cater to the needs of modern homeowners. For instance, integrated security features such as smart locks, motion sensors, and surveillance cameras provide peace of mind, allowing users to monitor and control their home security remotely. Meanwhile, energy-efficient solutions like automated lighting and climate control help reduce utility bills and minimize environmental impact. 

Ketra Lighting Technology

Ketra’s fully tunable lighting offers the greatest advancements in lighting since Edison. This LED lighting system includes Ketra’s Color Lock and TruBeam technology, which preserves the brilliant colors and enables our designers and integrators at Prodigy AV to precisely illuminate areas and objects in uniform intensity and color. 

Their tunable LED fixtures can replicate the color and intensity of the light outside, and their full-spectrum lights bring a high-definition palette of about 17 million hues. 
Vibrancy, the first-of-its-kind technology, transforms your artwork and other objects by changing how light reflects off them, revealing them in their most beautiful form. It’s one of the reasons places like the Oceanside Museum of Art, Riggs Hotel, and The Art Institute of Chicago have turned to the power of Ketra. 

When Lutron, the global leader in lighting control, acquired Ketra in 2018, managing this magnificent light with one touch or voice command became effortless. 

Natural Light

As humans, we evolved amidst the changing light outdoors. Even today, this light regulates our hormones, affecting our energy and sleep-wake cycle. Ketra’s Natural Light brings you back into balance by shifting the color and intensity of your interior lighting to mirror the light outside. 

You wake to the cool blue glow of dawn, find increased productivity amidst the bright light of midday, and feel your body relaxing when the soft amber glow of sunset descends.

Josh Makes Life Easy

Josh’s proprietary Natural Language Processing is one of the keys to his incredible abilities. He understands what others can’t, from words that would frustrate a lesser assistant to complex commands that would fry their innards. 

Josh lets you speak naturally, like you’re talking to a friend or bossing one around. For example, if you say, “OK Josh, dim the lights to 50%, and let’s watch The Tourist.” He knows you’re in the media room and that the show you’re referring to is on Netflix. He also knows, because you’ve asked him so many times before, that you’d like the blackout shades lowered. And so, with no direction on your part, he completes the task. When you think about it, it’s a little like a marriage. 

AI Smart & Private

Thanks to his Artificial Intelligence, Josh learns. He comes to know your preferences and, like lowering the shades, completes tasks that have become routine. He also cherishes your privacy and will never sell or use your data for marketing purposes. 

Continual Advancements

Josh is nothing if not forward-thinking. In 2023, Josh One and Josh GPT were born. Josh One is a sophisticated AI-powered home control platform designed for ease of use. The app-based system includes personalized scenes, scheduled activations, and automated programming.

Just like the sun rises and sets each day, human-centric lighting is designed to match our natural energies throughout the day. This type of lighting can support how we feel and function. And here’s some exciting news: Prodigy AV is at the forefront of bringing this advanced lighting technology to your Tennessee home! See what we mean when you stop by our showroom—the only Ketra Certified Showroom in the state.

Feel Your Best Every Day

Ketra’s human-centric innovation is a new wave of residential lighting inspired by our natural circadian rhythms. With control over the intensity and color of lighting in your home, you can have the perfect ambiance any time of the day or night, directly influencing your mood and energy levels. Feel energized in the mornings with bright and cool light tones. Wind down in the evening with warm, gentle hues. Ketra puts the control in your hands so you can feel your best each day.

Boost Your Wellness and Productivity 

Many studies have shown that proper lighting is essential for our health and well-being. With suitable types of light throughout the day, you can decrease stress, improve mood, and even boost your immune system. Ketra’s dynamic lighting system can mimic natural sunlight during the day to keep you focused and productive. This can be especially helpful if you’re working from home and must check some items off your to-do list. The right lighting levels can also help reduce eye strain, lessen headaches, and inspire creativity.

Support Quality Sleep

Ketra lighting also supports calm and can help you relax before bed. Following a consistent sleep pattern is beneficial for maintaining overall health. In the evenings, adjust Ketra’s color spectrum to reduce blue light, which can interfere with our ability to fall asleep. Preparing your body for sleep more naturally means you will enjoy a more content evening of rest and wake up refreshed and ready for the new day.

Why Ketra?

Ketra stands out from other lighting brands because it offers capabilities beyond adjustable brightness. Ketra allows for entirely customizing light color and temperature, mimicking natural light. This capability sets Ketra apart and makes it a top choice for Nashville, TN, homeowners who value their wellness.
