A Fresh Look & More User Freedom with Control4’s Latest OS
If you’re a Control4 homeowner (or thinking about becoming one), there’s exciting news. Control4’s newest operating system, X4, is officially here, and it’s packed with features that give you more creative control over your smart home.
This is the most customizable version of Control4 to date. So, if you live in the Charlotte area and want a system that feels more intuitive, powerful, and tailored to your lifestyle, The Integrated Home is here to help you make the most of this major upgrade. Here’s what you can expect.
A Smarter, Sleeker Interface
X4 brings a clean, modern refresh to your Control4 touchscreens, remotes, and mobile apps. The home screen now showcases your Favorites and active Media Sessions right up front, with a Quick Actions bar at the top for fast access to your most-used commands, like lighting, motorized shades, or music.
Use Control4 in more than one property? X4 introduces a handy Property Selector in the top corner that makes it simple to switch between homes to control systems remotely. And on the left side of the screen, a sleek sidebar lets you jump into different rooms or devices with ease.
Unlike earlier versions, X4 gives you much more flexibility to tailor the platform layout. You can add or remove widgets, prioritize what appears, and make the system feel uniquely yours.
Personalized Automation Without Needing a Programmer
One of the biggest shifts with X4 is how much more you can now do yourself.
With the new Routines feature, you can create scheduled automations for lighting, climate, audio, security—any technology connected to your system. You’ll see a clear Routine Timeline, so you always know what’s coming up. Want your shades to rise with the sun or your porch lights to flip on at dusk? You can do it with just a few taps.
And if you’re not sure where to start, X4’s new Routine Gallery offers a library of ready-to-use automations that you can activate in any room or zone.
Of course, The Integrated Home is always here for more complex programming. But with X4, you now have greater freedom to experiment and refine your system as you go.
Better Than Ever for Apple Users
If you’re a dedicated Apple product user, this next bit is especially for you: Control4 now plays even more nicely with Apple.
X4 introduces direct integration with iPhones, Mac computers, and Apple CarPlay. That means you can launch Control4 scenes from your iPhone’s Control Center or simply ask Siri to handle tasks like locking the doors or dimming the lights.
Previously, Siri didn’t integrate natively with Control4, but that barrier is gone. With X4, your Apple devices and smart home work together more seamlessly than ever.
Plus, New Lux Lighting Keypads
Alongside X4, Control4 has also introduced a new line of luxury wall keypads and dimmers: Lux. Lux keypads are available in both wired and wireless models, with a sleek, architecturally-minded design. Lux’s premium metal faceplates can be customized with your preferred colors and engravings, while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic across the house.
