Love Control4? Check Out OS 3

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.

Your Favorite Apps in One Place

Control4 is at the forefront of smart technology, and that includes building operating systems with access to popular streaming services like Spotify, Pandora, and more.

With OS 3, users can now enjoy lossless streaming from services like Tidal Masters. Rather than removing bits of information and offering low-quality sound reproduction like MP3, lossless delivers uncompressed audio over a wireless network. 

But OS 3 goes beyond music. You can also enjoy simple control of your lights, shades, and security with the touch of a button. Control4 integrates with many popular smart devices and systems, like Lutron and Amazon Alexa, so you can customize the experience you want. 

Sessions Simplifies Entertainment 

With Sessions, Control4 has simplified whole-home audio with a comprehensive, user-friendly interface. Control every room, zone, and playlist without switching to different apps or having to change the screen.

Enjoy control of your entire whole home audio system right in the palm of your hand. Know what’s playing in each room, adjust the volume for each zone, add or remove rooms, and turn everything off without switching screens.

On the new interface, you can expect to see an active media bar featuring the song, artist, album, and cover art. Volume sliders make adjustments a breeze. And the “now playing” bar lets you play, pause, or skip tracks in each room. 

With Sessions, your whole home audio experience is easier to enjoy than ever before.

The OS 3 Difference 

OS 3 improves the Control4 experience beyond entertainment as well. It’s a whole new way to simplify your entire smart home.

A new Favorites screen allows you to assemble your most-used functions into a single menu for easy access. Consolidate all similar tasks for your entire home into a single screen, view your whole security or entertainment system at a glance, and make adjustments to any part of it all while using a single interface.

You can even customize the look of your interface with the new wallpaper function. Choose from a curated library or from your own collection of images.

And, of course, you can enjoy total control on your Android or iPhone.
