Get A More Personalized, User-Friendly Smart Home 

Whether you already live in a Control4 smart home or are curious about getting started, now’s the perfect time for an upgrade. 

In 2025, Control4 unveiled its latest operating system, X4, which puts more personalization than ever in your hands. Custom automations that once required an integrator’s help (that’s us) can now be performed by you, the end user, with a few simple commands. 

If your house is still running on Control4’s OS 3, here’s why it’s time to upgrade to X4. 

Don’t Let One-Note Lighting Ruin the Ambiance 

Lighting design is rarely at the top of a homeowner’s wish list during a renovation or new build. Yet in high-end homes, it’s the difference between drab discomfort and loving every moment you spend at home. 

One light fixture can’t serve every need. The most welcoming and beautiful homes use lighting that’s planned in layers, each chosen to match how you live, work, and relax.

A Focused Training Plan Built for Serious Amateurs

No matter the weather outside, an indoor golf simulator helps you stay consistent with your game and improve your scores. While your usual tee-time partners let their game rust in the winter, Golfzon lets you get a step ahead of them. 

Its advanced camera tracking, precise lie simulation, and detailed performance data give you an honest look at your swing without the noise you face on the course. And you get to train no matter the frigid conditions outside. 

When you pair those tools with a structured plan, you give yourself the best shot at meaningful progress. We’ll create a dedicated golf simulator for you that also doubles as a great spot for fun time with the family.  

Easy Retrofit Services to Bring Your Lighting Into the Present 

Luxury homes evolve. What was “luxury” in the ‘90s and early 2000s now looks noticeably outdated. And one major signifier of being behind the times? Lighting. 

One of the highest‑impact updates we’re making for clients right now pairs DMF Lighting’s Artafex retrofit downlights with Lux by Control4 keypads, dimmers, and outlets. The result is a calmer, cleaner ceiling and refined, one‑touch control — all without tearing your house apart.

Yes! Why Video Walls Are the Next Big Thing in Luxury Living

Luxury living thrives on the kind of experiences that linger long after guests leave, becoming part of how a home feels, not just how it looks. The heart of that experience is shifting to larger-than-life media spaces powered by video walls that redefine how you watch, gather, and celebrate.

These aren't TVs, and they’re definitely not like what you grew up watching! These are custom-built visual masterpieces designed for spaces that deserve more than average. 

Just Video Walls crafts MicroLED displays that transform media rooms, lounges, and home theater rooms into more immersive spaces built around spectacular visuals and flawless performance.
