Control 4 is an excellent platform to use at home for all your smart home needs. On a mobile device, you can do everything you could want it to do: adjust window shades, turn on and off lights, play music and adjust volume, and anything else your system is configured to do. But what about when your device is not connected to your home network?
Control4 provides remote access to your home with the service known as 4Sight. Now whether you are across the town or even across the globe, you’re always connected to your home. Connect, control, and manage your home with ease and peace of mind. 4Sight also provides customized push notifications and email alerts to your device when specific events occur. You could monitor when the door opens and closes, detect water leaks, and even if you left your garage door open straight to your mobile device via a secure VPN connection.
Not only does it provide you with remote access to your home, but 4Sight also saves the homeowner money on service calls. The same VPN connection allows dealers to access the system to make programming changes and updates remotely. It also provides dealers with comprehensive system diagnostics that are useful in identifying the cause of system failures before sending a technician out, thus avoiding multiple visits for a single fix.
