One of the best features of a Control4 home automation system is that you can control just about anything from almost anywhere using the Control4 4Sight service. Adjust the thermostat, change TV channels, shut off the lights, shut the garage door, or set locks and security systems right from your Android or Apple smartphone or tablet from virtually anywhere you have 3G/4G service or an internet connection. This kind of 24/7 remote monitoring and access is delivered through a 4Sight subscription which gives you secure, Anywhere Access to your Control4 system.
The ability to control virtually anything in your home is invaluable. You can manage and monitor security systems and cameras, or even unlock doors with smart locks to let people have access to your home when you are not there. You can also change your home’s status when you’re away to reduce energy consumption or set the temperature from the airport so it’s perfectly comfortable when you arrive.
If you raced out of the house in the morning and can’t remember if you turned off lights, no problem. You can check them from your mobile device with the Control4 MyHome app and turn off any smart lights you may have left on. Another great feature of Anywhere Access is that you don’t just control your home from wherever you are, but your home communicates with you too.
You can leverage a virtually infinite combination of sensors and motion detectors to let you know when the kids get home from school, if water is leaking in the basement, if someone is moving about the house when they shouldn’t be, if doors or cabinets are being accessed, or even if the kids are watching TV or gaming when they should be doing homework. Getting those helpful alerts when you are away from home gives you peace of mind and a level of control that is hard to beat.
