Creating the Ultimate Smart Home with a Control4 Dealer

While it’s convenient to press an icon on an app to switch on a light or lower the shades, it’s a far cry from an automated home. As a Control4 dealer with years of experience serving Portland, OR, we’ve watched the transition unfold from smart devices to smart homes. Today, one tap of a button sets in motion a chain of events that creates the ideal environment. 

With one touch or voice command, you can transform your lighting, shades, climate, entertainment, and security in a manner suited for any occasion. Are you ready to explore the miraculous world of smart home living? 

Here, we’ll explore the difference a professional integrator makes and what living in a fully automated home means.

Home Automation Defined

An automated home reacts to a changing environment. It raises the motorized shades in the morning as the sun peaks over the horizon. Several lights illuminate in colors that resemble the rising sun. The towel rack and floor heaters warm up the bathroom as the latte begins brewing in the kitchen. The TV rises from the countertop and turns on the morning news.

What did you do to create this sequence of events? Nothing. The day simply began.

What did our integrators at Eighteen Group do? Everything. They know the devices that work seamlessly together and the programming protocols that ensure they work just as you want them to, with no effort. 

Integrating All Your Smart Home Devices

Control4 is an open platform that connects to almost every smart device. That’s tens of thousands of products from third-party manufacturers. This means that whether you’re opening a gate, turning on the landscape lights, heating your spa, or checking a security camera feed, you can do it from your favorite device that manages your home automation platform. 

By integrating your favorite devices, our experts can make your home truly intelligent, an ecosystem of interconnected devices. When you enter the driveway at night, the garage door opens, the door unlocks, and the landscape, entryway, and kitchen lights illuminate. The thermostat automatically adjusts when you open the door, and high-fidelity music streams through in-ceiling speakers. 

The Customized Approach to Smart Home Living

As you can imagine, there are nearly limitless possibilities when programming your smart home. Every connected device, which can be 200 or more, works as you want it to when you want it to. Do you want the lights to start flashing and the doors to lock if an intruder attempts to gain entry? Do you want your ‘Mellow’ playlist to stream through the living room speakers and the lights to turn indigo-blue when you press the ‘Relax’ button? 

Our integrators tailor your home to exacting standards and ensure seamless and reliable operations by ensuring your home network is up to the task, covering your entire property with fast, secure connectivity. As families and needs change, your smart home integrator is there to make sure your smart home changes with you.
