While the home automation market continues to grow each year, current solutions only address customers who are building high-end custom homes or doing major reconstruction on an existing home. Homeowners need a more affordable way to automate their existing homes without the headaches and expense of major remodelling. And they want to be able to add new products over time as they are able to afford additional technology.

The founders of Control4 — Will West, Eric Smith and Mark Morgan — understand the needs of homeowners. As veterans of the home automation market, they recognize that better wireless standards and the advent of Internet Protocol (IP) technology allow more existing homes to become candidates for home automation. That’s why the team has created a new company called Control4.

Control4 manufactures a complete line of affordable wired and wireless home automation products, making safety, convenience, comfort and economy available to virtually any homeowner in America. Control4 wireless products can be installed in any home in just a few hours, without the need for extensive or expensive remodelling. Not only can homeowners easily customize their Control4 system to meet their unique lifestyles, but the modular nature of the products also enables customers to start small and add to their systems over time. Our products are capable of delivering a complete solution for the home because they integrate the control of lighting, audio, video, landscape and climate into a single cohesive system.

As the demand for home automation continues to grow, Control4 plans to stay at the forefront of the industry by providing innovative products and solutions that deliver tomorrow’s lifestyle improvements today.
