What is Control 4 | Tech Tip Tuesday

[@sanctred]

I think control4 really shines for specific use cases like a home theater. Controlling lights, shades, projector, receiver, appletv/roku, etc all from one remote with easy button shortcuts like start movie mode.

I have a whole home c4 system since 2013. Also, I have a whole home Sonos and have scenes through out- linked. Hey Every light switch is replaced and half are custom keypads. I’ve had really no problems. My installer has done it all from the ground up and is diligent. We will ALL live this way in 10-15 years when is cheaper.. but I’ve been here for 7 yrs already.

[@seen921]

thanks for the intro to C4.

[@haroonnaseem1]

i loved the way you teach...

[@kryptoniteee]

I hate you.

[@kpslick]

So in other words it unifies all the different smart home systems in one place...like Google home and Amazon Alexa...except way more expensive.

[@danieljortiz]

I'd say it's a tier or two above Google and Amazon.

[@shawn3817]

No. It's like home assistant but then more professional

[@jorgesalcedo4449]

How do you get certified? And what’s the test like?

[@montesempire1297]

Thank you!

[@jorgechacon1397]

Does it work with reolink?

[@DJNITROALLY]

to the guy who made the video have u heard of Google assistant or alexa they can do way more for the cheaper price and they do it better

[@byshautomations8242]

Dedicated Home automation systems are not comparable with Alexa and Google assistant. Dedicated systems can execute more complex tasks locally without no delays. Its meant for reliability and consistency.

Thanks

[@Bhavikh]

This is stupid expensive, you can do this other easier and cheaper ways

[@smithsne]

That’s what I’m thinking. Alexa does all these things too. I’m trying to find the value in this instead. 🤔

[@Bhavikh]

@@smithsne the Google home app does this way better and for free + it has voice control and other additional features. Go spend that control 4 money on a car instead.

[@mylifestory8945]

Is control 4 Available in uk?

[@YK-ll4wt]

Yes

[@kryptoniteee]

I want control 4. I want it to control everything in my house.

[@amtm4185]

Where was this guy three years ago

[@norwoodsatv]

Why isn’t control 4 a diy system?

[@YK-ll4wt]

Home assistant is what you want

[@Tinoco1x]

Because it operates on a manufacturer (Control4) and Distributor (3rd party companies) system. That way all the hassle from costumer service is outsourced. Also, the system is not "easy" for an average person without basic engineering knowledge.

The guy above me likes men
