Your Control4 System Is About to Get Much Smarter

The X4 Upgrade Brings A Redesigned Interface and More Precise Control to Smart Homes

Think about how your smartphone gets better with each major update—faster navigation, easier customization, features that save you time. Control4's X4 update brings a similar leap forward to your smart home. The new interface looks more modern, works more intuitively, and gives Westchester County homeowners more direct control over their daily routines. You still get the rock-solid reliability and professional integration that Control4 systems are known for, but now the system feels as responsive and personal as the phone in your pocket. Let’s explore the new features in more detail.

A Redesigned Interface

The X4 interface is sleek, modern, and way easier to navigate. Everything you need lives on a single home screen instead of buried in sub-menus. Customizable widgets let you arrange controls however makes sense for you—security cameras front and center if that's your priority, or climate and lighting if those matter more. You can resize, rearrange, and organize by rooms or activities rather than device types. The whole design language feels current, in line with today’s modern user interfaces.

Create And Adjust Routines On Your Own

The new Routines feature lets you build and modify automations right from the Control4 app. This was previously an option with laptop software, utilizing the "When, Then" feature, but it is now more integrated and easier to use. Want your motorized shades to open a bit later as winter settles in? Adjust the timing yourself. Adding new smart devices to your "Good Morning" routine? You can do that too. These aren't rigid pre-programmed scenes—they're flexible automations you can tweak as your schedule changes. We're still here when you need us for complex programming, but everyday adjustments are now yours to handle whenever you want.

Deeper Apple Integration

If you live in the Apple world, X4 makes your Control4 system feel native to that ecosystem. Control your home through CarPlay, the iPhone Control Center, or your Mac Desktop. Use Siri to launch scenes or adjust individual devices. Add Control4 widgets to your phone's home screen for quick access. The integration goes beyond basic compatibility—your Control4 system works as smoothly with your Apple devices as any native app. Pull into your driveway and tell Siri to warm up the house before you even walk through the door.

Control4 Connect Keeps Everything Current

X4 includes Control4 Connect, a subscription service that automatically handles system updates. Security patches, software improvements, and new features arrive without you thinking about them. The service also provides remote access and intercom functionality, so you can check in on your home or communicate between rooms. Your system stays current and secure without requiring manual updates or scheduled maintenance calls.

X4 is rolling out now for Control4 systems, and it's a significant step forward for both current owners and anyone considering a new smart home system.
