Smart home systems add convenience and comfort to your daily life. They allow you to control your lights, shades, AV, and security with a single button, or to set timers and enjoy hands-free automation.  But one of the best things about smart home services is that they continue to develop over time. That means they get more intelligent, offer greater control, and continue to simplify your lifestyle with easy-to-use commands. And that's precisely what Control4 has done with their latest update: OS 3. What can you expect from installing this smart home system in your Honolulu, HI, living space? Find out below.
