Lighting That Works with Natural Daylight

Wasting electricity on unnecessary lighting is a common way of driving up energy costs. Control4 lighting automation helps by managing indoor lights based on natural daylight. Using sensors that detect outdoor brightness, lights automatically dim or turn off when enough sunlight fills a room. Scheduling also plays a key role. Program lighting to follow a routine that matches your daily habits. For example, lights in your living areas can brighten in the morning and fade as the sun sets. You reduce energy waste while maintaining a natural rhythm

Smarter Climate Control for Consistent Comfort

Heating and cooling account for the biggest portion of your monthly energy bill. A Control4 smart thermostat adapts to your lifestyle by automatically adjusting the temperature based on time of day, occupancy, and weather conditions. When no one is home, your thermostat enters a predetermined eco mode instead of running heating or cooling at full power.

If the temperature changes outside, your thermostat responds in real-time to keep your home comfortable without overworking the HVAC system. It even coordinates with your motorized shades. During the hottest times of the day, shades close to help cool your home without excessive energy use. 

Monitoring and Managing Energy in Real Time

Knowing how much energy you use and how you use it allows you to make better choices. Control4 provides an easy way to monitor and manage energy consumption through its interface. You can see which devices and systems draw the most power and adjust settings to cut waste. For example, if entertainment systems, kitchen appliances, or HVAC equipment use more energy than expected, you can identify the problem and make changes instantly. With this data at your fingertips, you stay in control of your home’s efficiency without guessing where energy is being wasted.
