Control4 has announced the Control4 My Home application for iPad, which was developed in collaboration with Control UI. In a Control4-enabled smart home, users will be able to access lighting, temperature, music, video, security systems, web cameras and more from an Apple iPad. Available now on the iTunes App Store, the Control4 My Home app has been selected as an Apple staff favorite for iPad apps.
Control4 provides home automation through an extensible operating system that integrates energy using devices and systems in the home, including, audio and video equipment, lighting systems, motorized shades, and security systems. With the new, specially designed Control4 My Home app for iPad, homeowners can use their iPad as an interface to their Control4 system to create personalized experiences such as custom lighting scenes; to conveniently control entertainment systems; or to take advantage of energy savings with programmable thermostats and other -˜green’ settings. Later in the year, homeowners will be able to use Control4 My Home in conjunction with a Control4 4Sight remote monitoring subscription to turn lights on and off, lock or unlock doors, or access IP video cameras and security systems from the Internet, providing increased home security and peace of mind.
“Consumers want the devices in their home to be integrated and easy to use. The Control4 Operating System is designed to do just that. Many of our customers use touch screens to access their Control4 system and the iPad is a great platform that meets the needs of many homeowners for exactly this task,” said Will West, Chief Executive Officer of Control4. “We think the iPad is an important platform for homeowners looking for a smarter home and believe that when combined with Control4 My Home we will continue to push forward the mainstream adoption of affordable home control technologies that make our lives easier.”
Control4 homeowners can immediately download Control4 My Home for iPad and authenticate to their Control4 system with a Mobile Navigator license obtained from a Control4 dealer. Consumers interested in a Control4 system can visit www.control4.com to locate a dealer near them.
