Control4 4Sight features

Let’s tell you exactly what you’ll be getting with 4Sight.

Remote Access

Total control of your home from the palm of your hand.

With Control4, you can use your mobile device to check the status of locks and cameras, control lighting, media, and other smart devices, and much more while you’re in your home. However, when you add 4Sight, you can do all of this from anywhere in the world. Remote access allows you to receive alerts, view cameras, lock doors, adjust thermostats, and turn on/off/manage lights with just a few taps whether you’re across town or across the globe. It’s just one way 4Sight makes Control4 even better.

Voice Control

We don’t play favorites, we work with yours.

Voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Home are more helpful than ever when tied into your Control4 Smart Home system. The power to turn on lights, turn up the temp, even start up entire scenes, is at the tip of your tongue. It’s easy. You say: “Alexa, turn on kitchen lights” “Okay Google, close the garage door” and your house does what it’s told. Finally, someone in the house that always listens when you ask a favor.

When >> Then

Your smart home fine-tuned for you, by you.

One of the perks about Control4 is that the award-winning operating system is installed by a trained and certified professional who is a true expert at ensuring things function properly in your home. After the install takes place, with a 4Sight subscription you have access to When >> Then homeowner personalization that allows you to add scenes, tweak schedules, adjust playlists, and more - without professional involvement. From a simple-to-use web page (where no coding knowledge is necessary), it’s as simple as picking a WHEN, like “WHEN the sun goes down” and a THEN, like “THEN turn on the porch lights.” It’s a new way to personalize your smart home all on your own.

Intercom Anywhere

A video doorbell solution unlike any other.

Intercom Anywhere lets you communicate with and see guests at the door. But it goes a step further. It also allows you to unlock the door or gate, turn on the entryway lights, and then lock the door once again - from the same app! So when guests arrive early or you’re not home to receive a package, simply tap on your smartphone a few times to allow them inside. There are typical video doorbells, and then there is Intercom Anywhere.

Any Control4 Home Qualifies

No matter what Control4 products and solutions you have in your smart home, you’re eligible for this service. It’s as simple as contacting your smart home pro and telling them you want to subscribe to 4Sight. It’s a very affordable subscription that is equivalent to about $8 USD per month - incredible considering it really takes your Control4 Smart Home to the next level.
