Pricing and more Information

Control4 announced Books Open: Control4 OS 2.0 Software Release.

ATLANTA, GA – CEDIA EXPO – September 10-13, 2009 – Booth 161 – Control4, the leader in affordable IP-based home control and entertainment systems, will demonstrate its second-generation operating system (“OS 2.0”) at CEDIA EXPO 2009. Control4’s OS 2.0 will enable new levels of customization for the installer and personalization for the homeowner. This next-generation release offers new home-control functionality, easy-to-access whole-home systems, integration of 3rd party applications, and improved media management. Featuring an elegant new user interface, Control4® OS 2.0 will provide Control4 integrators with its most powerful automation and entertainment solution to date.

With a Flash-based software development kit (SDK) now available, the Control4 OS 2.0 will further the integration of third-party devices by adding the flexibility to design and integrate an interface to the control capabilities that is unique to the device and is delivered directly via the Control4 user interface (UI). Third-party companies can create applications that provide information to the customer, ranging from local weather and traffic reports to RSS Feeds. Installers can easily download applications that have been developed by third parties. They can also customize the interface without using the SDK, simply by taking advantage of pre-set macros and system shortcuts. The new OS 2.0 also features language localization to support the 37 countries where Control4 sells products today.

“The new Control4 OS 2.0 is at the heart of an expanding ecosystem of leading consumer electronics products designed to work together with ease,” stated Control4’s CEO Will West. “With this version, we make it easier to integrate partner products and applications, giving consumers and dealers a wider range of affordable options as they design scalable and powerful Control4® home-control solutions that are customized to address each user’s needs.”

Control4 OS 2.0 implements ZigBee® Pro standard, including the Home Automation (HA) profile, which allows a greater number of interoperable devices to be added to the Control4® system. The new OS 2.0 also implements the Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) standard, enabling media served up by other products to be automatically available for playback within the Control4 system—improving management of video and audio files.

The OS 2.0 has new whole-home capabilities to interact more effectively with media management, lighting, HVAC, and security. This enables easy expansion by third parties to support other subsystems

Analysis: Couch Potatoes Take Notice TECH BUYING GUIDE—Music, Lights, Action With One Click - Devices that let you control many appliances from your couch are increasingly accessible -- and affordable

By Cliff Edwards, BusinessWeek

7 November 2005 - How can you be a proper couch potato if you have to get up to pull down the shades, flick on the lights, turn up the heat, turn off the oven, and see who's at the door, all the while fiddling with the controls on your home-theater system? The answer: Make your home smarter. Thanks to the digitization of many consumer-electronics products and the rise of personal Wi-Fi networks, you can buy a wireless system for little more than $400 that will let you control many of the moving parts in your home from a touchscreen pad or remote device. Recently I tested four home-automation technologies. My conclusion: They are simple enough that most of us won't need a network engineer to use them. The most elaborate setup I sampled required an installer, and came from Salt Lake City-based Control4. The company makes equipment that uses your wired and Wi-Fi Ethernet connections to organize audio, video, climate, and lighting into a single user-friendly remote device or several wall-mounted LCD screens throughout the home. I had the installer equip my media room and bedroom with units to control my entertainment systems and lighting. The equipment: a touchscreen pad and remote device to control media with infrared blasters, wireless lighting keypads, and a smaller mini-touchscreen in the bedroom. Together, it cost about $4,000 and took just over three hours to install and program.

Whole-House Music Server- Automation System

By John Sciacca, Sound & Vision

Side Bar: WHAT WE THINK: A well-conceived modular system that offers music and DVD management, automation and more at a price nearly anyone can afford.

February/March 2006 - To quote Janet Jackson (Ms. Jackson if you're nasty), “This is a story about control.” And whether your lifestyle is Joe Schmo, Average Joe, or Joe Millionaire, control is something we can all use a little more of in our lives.

Fortunately, achieving some level of control over our A/V systems is easily done. Replacing that pile of remotes with a universal model that makes movie watching or music listening a single-button affair is the first step, and it doesn't have to cost a fortune. But what about controlling your lights, the thermostat, or the blinds covering the windows?

Whole-house automation systems that also perform these tasks are pricey, on the order of $20,000 to more than $50,000 for a typical installation. Should it cost so much more to turn on a light remotely than it does to open your garage door the same way?
