Top 5 Control4 Features You’re Not Using (But Should Be)

Discover the hidden power of your Control4 system across Metro Atlanta and South Florida

At Premium Audio and Video, we’ve helped clients in Metro Atlanta and South Florida unlock the full potential of their smart homes. Most Control4 systems are running at only a fraction of what they’re capable of. If you’re using Control4 just to turn lights on and off, you’re missing out on a world of possibilities.

Here are five powerful Control4 features that many homeowners aren’t using—but absolutely should.

1. Voice-Controlled Scenes That Actually Do Everything

Sure, saying “Alexa, turn on the lights” is cool. But what if you could walk in and say: “Alexa, it’s dinner time”—and the lights dim, smooth jazz plays, the thermostat adjusts, and the patio lights come on?

With Control4, that’s not just possible—it’s easy. One phrase can activate an entire environment.

🛠️ Pro Tip: We design custom voice-triggered scenes for clients in areas like Coral Gables, and Alpharetta that turn ordinary moments into elegant routines.


2. Smarter Scheduling with Real-World Logic

Control4 is much more than a fancy timer. With conditional logic, you can automate behavior based on time, presence, and even weather.

  • Porch lights turn on only after sunset when someone enters
  • Music volume lowers if you come home late
  • Shades drop automatically when afternoon sun hits your Miami living room

🛠️ Local Advantage: Whether you’re in Fort Lauderdale or Marietta, we tailor automations to your lifestyle and climate.


3. Intercom Anywhere: Peace of Mind from Anywhere

Most Control4 users don’t realize they already have a powerful feature called Intercom Anywhere. It lets you:

  • See and talk to someone at your door from anywhere in the world
  • Remotely unlock doors or open gates
  • Page rooms inside your house
  • Keep tabs on kids or deliveries

📱 Real-World Use: One of our Boca Raton clients uses this to speak to pool contractors while she’s at her Buckhead condo.


4. Personalize Your System with “When >> Then”

Control4 gives you the tools to personalize your experience without calling a tech for every change. Using the web-based “When >> Then” interface, you can:

  • Assign scenes to buttons
  • Change lighting levels
  • Create your own moods like “Date Night” or “Game Time”

🛠️ DIY Made Simple: We walk our clients in places like West Palm and Sandy Springs through how to master this tool right after installation.


5. Real-Time Alerts and Smart Notifications

Control4 isn’t just about control—it’s about awareness. You can receive real-time alerts when:

  • Doors open unexpectedly
  • Water leaks are detected
  • The garage is left open after hours
  • Someone accesses your wine room, safe, or equipment rack

🛠️ Safety in Action: One South Florida homeowner gets a phone notification plus outdoor lighting activation when his back gate opens after sunset. That’s peace of mind in action.
