We've all been promised the convenience of smart home technology, but too often, we end up with a collection of smart devices and things that don't quite work together. That's where a professional Control4 dealer makes all the difference. Here in Century City, homeowners are discovering how the right integration transforms those scattered smart devices into a seamlessly orchestrated system. From sophisticated security to effortless entertainment, these five Control4 features go beyond basic automation to deliver real benefits to your Southern California lifestyle.

See Who's There – From Anywhere You Are

You're watching that tense moment during your favorite show's climactic scene—and the doorbell rings. With Control4, you can briefly pause your entertainment and bring up the video doorbell camera view right on your TV. This capability extends throughout your home, letting you check visitors from your kitchen tablet, poolside iPhone, or any connected screen. The Intercom Anywhere feature means you can greet guests and manage deliveries whether you're upstairs, in the backyard, or enjoying dinner on Montana Avenue. It's the kind of practical luxury that transforms how you interact with your home.

Smart Security That Lives Like You Do

Most homeowners know about basic light timers, but Control4's Mockupancy feature takes home security to a sophisticated new level. This intelligent system learns and recreates your daily patterns, from varying your lighting schemes to playing your usual media at typical times. While you're enjoying a weekend in Palm Springs or traveling abroad, your home maintains a dynamic, lived-in appearance. Lights adjust naturally between rooms, TVs activate during your usual evening routine, and even your motorized shades move throughout the day, creating an authentic presence that makes potential intruders think twice.

Custom Scenes That Make Life Flow

Your home should adapt to your lifestyle, not the other way around. Control4's custom scenes turn everyday moments into seamless experiences. Press "Movie Night," and your media room lights dim, the shades lower, and your entertainment system powers up to the perfect settings. The "Dog Scene" keeps your pets comfortable while you're out—adjusting temperature, playing calming music, and setting specific lighting. Early morning yoga flow? One touch sets your preferred lighting, temperature, and music in your workout space while keeping the rest of the house quiet. It's automation that anticipates your needs and enhances your daily routines.

Control at Your Fingertips

Checking if you closed the garage door shouldn't require turning your car around. With Control4's remote access, your entire home system stays connected to your smartphone. Beyond basic monitoring, this feature puts real control in your hands. Let the dog walker in while you're at the office, adjust the temperature before heading home from the beach, or check your security cameras during vacation. The advanced Intercom Anywhere feature even lets you answer your door from Rome as if you were in your living room. It's complete home control that fits your on-the-go lifestyle.

Effortless Entertainment

Managing multiple remotes and juggling different streaming services gets old fast. Control4 unifies your entire entertainment experience into one intuitive system. Stream Spotify in the kitchen while the kids watch Netflix in the family room. Share the game from your media room to the patio TV during backyard gatherings. Every speaker, screen, and source becomes part of a synchronized system that anyone can control—whether through the elegant touch panel, your phone, or voice commands. Best of all, you can start with a single room and expand as your needs grow.

At Just One Touch™, we design and integrate Control4 systems that feel natural, work reliably, and grow with your needs. Ready to explore what's possible in your Century City home? Call us, contact us here, or start a chat below to connect with us. We look forward to working with you.
