Control 4 Releases Smart Home OS 3 Update

Control4 Smart Home set the bar for smart home technology with its new Smart Home OS 3 update. This update, their biggest one to date, allows for over 1000 new features for lighting, music, video, security, and more. Control4 Smart Home OS 3 simplifies the use of connected smart home devices. As a result, they can be controlled from a single platform and personalize the user experience.  

In a press release, Control4 Senior Vice President of Products and Services Charlie Kindel stated, “The Control4 Smart Home OS is designed to remove complexity. Every home is a mix of products from a variety of companies, a Smart Home OS embraces this reality, providing broad choice rather than creating a collection of tiny walled gardens that limit homeowners.”

The upgraded system serves “as smart home infrastructure.” Above all, it meets the needs of modern families through integrative and intuitive technology. 

Control4 Smart Home OS 3 Feature Highlights:

• Favorites–Favorites gives homeowners the ability to find the devices they want quickly with one-touch control. “Favorite” a device, service, scene, or playlist by pressing and holding and arranging the icons in any order you choose.
• Personalization-Personalize your system as you see fit. Create and edit smart home scenes, automate your devices on a set schedule, and control how your devices interact with each other.
