Why Control4
Control4 hits the sweet spot between capability and complexity. It does 90% of what Crestron does, at 60% of the cost, with a friendlier learning curve. The interface is solid. The driver library is enormous — Control4 talks to almost everything. For most custom homes in the $1M-$3M range, Control4 is the right answer.
What We Install
Control4 Controllers
CA-1, CA-10, and EA series central processors — the brain that runs every scene, schedule, and integration.

Control4 Touchscreens
Wall-mount and tabletop touchscreens with custom interfaces for every room and use case.
Keypads & Mobile App

Controllers, touch screens and remotes are chosen to suit the property, and the Control4 product range shows how the pieces fit together.
