Company profile
researched Aug 2026Control4 offers a smart home and smart business automation platform that unifies control of a broad catalog of connected devices through a single interface. Residential applications span whole-home control, video and home theater, lighting, audio, outdoor entertainment, safety and security, and comfort and convenience. Commercial applications cover restaurants and bars, workspaces, retail and fitness venues, with unified control over lighting, temperature, media, audio and surveillance.
Users interact with their systems through the Control4 app on phones and tablets, in-wall keypads, touchscreens and smart remotes, with features including push notifications, remote access and at-a-glance status. Systems are designed to work with both Control4 products and thousands of third-party devices, and can be operated by tap, voice command or automated schedules and scenes.
Business model
Control4 sells hardware and software for smart home and smart business systems that are specified, installed and serviced by certified third-party integrators rather than sold as a self-install product, with an accompanying mobile and touchscreen app layer for end users.
