Discover the Transformational Power of a C4 OS4 Upgrade
Experience the User-Friendly, Intuitive Features of the new Control4 X4
If you live in a Control4 smart home, you know its many benefits. From one-touch and automated control of nearly every smart device and system to exceptionally smart security and home entertainment, it’s a lifestyle hard to define until experienced. Would you like your shades lowered, the lights to dim, and the doors to lock while you watch a movie? Press “Movie Night,” and it’s done.
So, one wonders, what would be the benefits of a C4 OS4 upgrade when the current home automation platform already works seamlessly in your Indianapolis, IN, home?
Do you remember when the first smartphone came out? What seemed like an incredible feat has been surpassed 10 times over. Today, our smartphones are exceptionally faster, more intelligent, and come with cameras that take crystal clear images with options for wide-angle or macro.
The same is true for smart home automation. Technology moves inexorably forward. Control4 OS4, also known as X4, is the biggest upgrade since OS3 came out in 2019.
Here, we’ll explore its benefits and why Control4 users are taking advantage of this fresh upgrade to experience a smarter, more intuitive, and personalized smart home.

Improved Interface Design
One of the biggest Control4 OS4 upgrades is the user interface. Some call it more intuitive, while others refer to it as more modern. No matter how you define it, the result is a more user-friendly experience that’s easier to navigate and make it your own.
The Home Screen has become the central hub, enabling users to quickly access frequently used controls, making for a much more personalized experience. Experience Chips let you see the entire system at a glance, and Widgets reduce the need to navigate to several screens.
With Control4 OS3, you had to navigate to the room you wanted to hear your home audio system in. X4 eliminates that step, allowing you to send music to one or numerous rooms right from the home screen.
The Personalized Approach
As you learn the potential inherent in your Control4 smart home, it’s common to want to change or add a few items to the daily routine and tasks it performs for you. Instead of waking to shades rising at dawn and “Wake Up Everybody” streaming through your entire home at mega-decibels, you eventually want a more subtle approach to your morning.
Now, instead of calling your friendly neighborhood integrator, you can personalize your smart home in a matter of minutes. Maybe you’d like to keep the shades lowered a little longer, wake to golden-violet lights that resemble the early morning, and hear nature sounds with soft chimes streaming through your home. While you’re at it, you’re also going to ask your smart home to heat the spa and warm the towel racks, all by pressing “Good Morning.”
Talking to Your Home
X4 provides a smart home that’s a little easier to talk to. It achieves this by increasing the devices and systems that can be managed with voice commands. The improved operating system also features improved functionality and deeper integration with common voice assistants like Siri, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa.
You can now use your voice for complex scenes. For instance, “Movie Night” can now be triggered with a voice command.
