Stay Connected Everywhere with Control4 and Harbert Home Systems

The professionals at Harbert Home Systems are determined to be your resource for all things smart home automation. To that end, we wanted to focus this edition of our blog on a key integration partner: Control4.

Imagine receiving an alert on your smartphone while you’re away from home that says your garage door is open, and then it gives you the option to close it. Or imagine pressing a button as you leave the house to lower the AC, shut off the lights, and arm the alarm system. Then, just before you return home, press another button to bring up the outdoor lights, turn on your music or cue your DVR to begin recording your favorite show. Such functionality and ease-of-use has made Control4 a preferred solution for home automation in Novi, Michigan.

Who is Control4?

Control4 is a Utah-based company that has made value and the customer experience its priorities since 2003. Control4 emphasizes usability within their product offerings, bringing you control over virtually everything in your home from almost anywhere you happen to be, whether you’re at the office, across town, or on vacation halfway around the world.

Ease is key

Control4’s total system integration makes it extremely easy to use, and their policy of professional installation only augments this. You simply tell us what you want and Harbert Home Systems takes care of the rest, tying it all into a centralized touch screen as well as a convenient smartphone app. Once installed, there is nothing complicated about Control4’s system.

With Control4, you can govern every enabled device in your home from a centralized location, putting you in complete control from any location with an Internet connection. You can also set up certain events to take place automatically through basic triggers and scripted actions. For example, you can set your house lights to turn off at 9 p.m., or set up a more complex action that turns off your lights, locks all of your doors and turns the thermostat down to conserve energy, all at a specified time.

As customizable as you need it to be

If you require customization, Control4 is the answer. We’ll configure your house and your setup, meaning it doesn't matter which components you have, we can make them all work together.

Beyond the initial setup, you have the option to get Control4-branded AV products, like receivers, amplifiers, tuners, speakers and touchscreens that you can mount on walls and surfaces in your home. Add power adapters so you can switch anything that's plugged into the wall on and off. Besides the main categories of lighting, A/V, HVAC and security, you can automate virtually anything--from security cameras and window shades to speakers and home audio.
