The Global Leaders in Home Automation, Security, and Comfort Unite

Discover Why Control4 is Dominating the Smart Home Market

One could say that the Control4 system is taking the world by storm. What happened? 

In 2024, Resideo completed the acquisition of Snap One. For those who don’t follow acquisitions and mergers, what this means in terms of transforming the landscape of smart homes can be a little confusing. Let’s break it down.

Snap One is the parent company of Control4, the global leader in smart home automation. Resideo is the worldwide leader in manufacturing and developing technology-driven products centering around comfort, security, and energy management. Resideo is also the parent company of ADI Global Distribution, the global leader in the distribution of low-voltage products, AV systems, and security products. 

In 2000, Honeywell, a worldwide leader in security, safety, and comfort, acquired ADI before spinning off into Resideo Technologies Inc. in 2018. Confused yet? 

Essentially, this acquisition brought the biggest players in home automation, safety, and security together, creating a smart technology platform with broad manufacturing and distribution capabilities. 

What does that mean to those in the smart home sector? If you’re not on the Control4 train, you’re going to be left at the station.

The Combined Forces of Industry Giants 

The Impact of this acquisition is summed up in the official announcement. “The transaction will combine ADI’s strong position in security products distribution and Snap One’s complementary capabilities in the smart living market and innovative Control4 technology platforms.” 

In other words, Control4 and ADI bring together a second-to-none selection of proprietary offerings and third-party products, furthering ADI’s exclusive brand strategy. Together, they simplify smart home living and the connected world. As the organizational consultant and author Idowu Koyenikan said, “There is immense power when a group of people with similar interests gets together to work toward the same goals.” 

As the first mainline adopted integration platform by one of the biggest home control and technology leaders, Control4 moves into the forefront. 

Control4 as the “Do-It-All” Smart Home 

Even before this acquisition, Control4’s home automation platform integrated with tens of thousands of third-party devices. This interconnectivity translates to a smart home that manages every device imaginable. 

From entertainment systems to security, lighting, shades, climate, and more, Control4 can manage and control them all. This capability extends to pools, spas, garage doors, gates, and random devices like pet doors, sprinkler systems, fireplaces, and intelligent kitchen appliances. 

While all these products can be controlled with one touch on a user-friendly device, what truly sets a Control4 smart home apart is customization. At Digital Home Systems, we explore how you live your everyday life and the technology that’s an inherent aspect of these activities. 

Then, we program your smart home to respond, creating the ideal environment and entertainment with one touch, whether dining, relaxing, or entertaining. And this one-touch control extends into your outdoor areas, letting you create the ultimate outdoor oasis.
