They are not enemies
Alexa, Google Home and Apple Home are convenient ways to talk to your house. Control4 is a professionally designed system that runs the house. Many homes use both.
What consumer platforms do well
They are simple to start, inexpensive and great for voice control of individual devices such as a lamp or a speaker.
What Control4 adds
Control4 brings lighting, shades, audio, video, security, cameras and more into one coordinated system with scenes, schedules and dedicated interfaces such as touch panels and remotes.
- One app for the whole home
- Dedicated remotes and keypads
- Reliable local programming
- Professional design and support
- Deep integration with pro-grade products
Using them together
Control4 can connect with major voice assistants. You can say a phrase and trigger a full scene, not just one device.
Which is right for you?
If you want a few smart devices, a consumer platform can be enough. If you want a whole-home experience that works every day for everyone, a professional system is worth a conversation.
