Introducing Control4 X4: The Next Generation of Smart Home Control

With a legacy of innovation in smart home automation, Control4 is preparing to raise the bar once again. Arriving in Q4 this year, the new Control4 X4 platform marks a major evolution in how homeowners interact with their smart home environment.

Whether you’re a current Control4 user looking to upgrade or planning a new home automation system, X4 is designed to deliver unparalleled personalization, smoother control, and deeper ecosystem integration especially with Apple devices. Let’s explore what makes Control4 X4 the most exciting smart home platform release of the year.

A Beautifully Redesigned Interface for Modern Living

Control4 X4 introduces a completely reimagined home screen clean, intuitive, and more functional than ever. This update puts you at the center of your smart home, allowing you to access key devices, scenes, and statuses with minimal effort.

New features include:

• A streamlined control dashboard that brings lighting, climate, music, and security together on one elegant screen
• Real-time previews of cameras, media, and system status
• A design that feels at home on any modern touchscreen or mobile device

This refreshed interface doesn’t just look great it’s designed to save you time and make everyday interactions feel effortless.

Enhanced Personalisation with Widgets & Routines

With X4, Control4 becomes more personal than ever before.

Widgets

Customize your home screen with resizable widgets that give you instant control of your most-used devices and views. Want a camera tile next to your favorite lighting scene? Done. Want to see your gate status, temperature, and kitchen speaker volume at a glance? You can.

Routines

Create powerful automations tailored to your lifestyle. X4 introduces "Routines", which let you:

• Trigger complex scenes (like “Good Morning” or “Movie Night”)
• Schedule automations by time, event, or even user behavior
• Run different routines for different users in the home

Whether it’s soft wake-up lighting and music in the morning or locking down the house at night, Control4 X4 makes it effortless.

Deep Apple Ecosystem Integration

Control4 X4 is the first version to fully embrace the Apple ecosystem, and the results are impressive.

Now you can:

• Launch scenes via Siri
• View and control devices from your iPhone Control Center or Mac desktop
• Use CarPlay to trigger actions while you're on the go
• Integrate seamlessly with Apple HomeKit, blending Control4 and HomeKit-controlled devices together

For Apple households, X4 delivers a seamless experience across mobile, desktop, and smart home platforms like never before.

System Requirements and Upgrade Path

To make the most of Control4 X4, you'll want to ensure your system is ready. Here’s what you need to know:

• Controller Compatibility: CORE Controllers are recommended for best performance. CA and EA Controllers will still work but may not support all features.
• Touchscreens: T4 Touchscreens are optimized for the new interface.
• Software Requirement: You must be running Control4 OS 3.3.1 or higher.
• Control4 Connect Subscription: Required for access to the upgrade and future enhancements.
