Three Things Your Smart Home Needs in the New Year

three-things-your-smart-home-needs-in-the-new-year

The holiday season is upon us again, and it’s a great time to think about giving your Dallas, Tx home the gift of a smart home upgrade. Home automation systems are evolving more each year, with the devices and interfaces becoming more powerful and even easier to use. Take a closer look at how three new devices from Control4, our preferred home automation company, can make your home even smarter in 2021.

The Video Doorbell of Your Dreams

Ok maybe you don’t dream about doorbells, but you can rest easy knowing you have the new Chime video doorbell with motion detection. If your doorbell senses motion late at night when you aren’t expecting visitors, you can program it to turn on outdoor lighting. Video snapshots can be taken and can be sent directly to your phone from Chime as well. With a ring of the bell or motion detection, every Control4 screen in the house can see who is at the door. And with the Control4 4Sight app, you can see and screen who is at your door, from anywhere you might be with an internet connection.

Red Hot Remote Access

A sophisticated home automation system deserves a sleek and equally sophisticated control device. And no other device does this as elegantly as the Neeo Remote, now in a fire engine red so you can spot it under those throw pillows. The modern design of the Neeo combines a simple, intuitive push-button design with a familiar touch screen. You can easily access all your favorite streaming movie and music services, as well as use other smart features to control lights, adjust your thermostat, and arm your security system. 

T4 Touch Panels for Enhanced Automation

The Control4 T4 touch screen is the powerful interface you need to control your home’s systems. It is connected to your automation system at all times, making it a more reliable and faster way to access your home automation than your smartphone or tablet. It also has twice the resolution of the T3 model, dual microphones, and faster processing speed for even snappier responses to your commands. Plus, it’s the perfect companion to the Chime video doorbell with its constant connectivity, high-resolution screen, and powerful speakers.

There is much to look forward to in the new year, and innovations and products in home automation systems should be at the top of that list. Smarter, sleeker interfaces like the Neeo remote and T4 touch panel will make controlling your Control4 smart home even easier to manage. At the same time, devices like the Chime will enhance your security system and increase peace of mind.
