My wife asked me why I was speaking so softly at home.
I told her I was afraid Mark Zuckerberg was listening!
She laughed. I laughed.
Alexa laughed. Siri laughed.
Except that it isn’t really that funny.
Were you enraged by the recent announcement by one of the most popular messaging app’s new privacy policy? I was?
Do you think there is no need for another smart home gadget because Alexa already switches off the lights, dims the volume, and chooses your TV programmes? Because Siri already gives you the weather forecast and plays your favourite podcasts?
Firstly, only Control4, distributed exclusively by Homemation in South Africa, gives you comprehensive control of your home in one convenient place – more about that in a bit. Secondly, there are no free lunches. We need to think and be concerned about the degree of privacy in our homes and not just our communications. There is no place like home. Home is our sanctuary, our safe place, our private place. Home is the place where we can just be. Especially now, in lockdown, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Homemation and Control4 take your privacy seriously. They are committed to strict and transparent data privacy standards that put YOU and your family, firmly in control of what gets shared and with whom. With Control4 you can be sure that what happens in your home, stays in your home.
So, what does happen in your home?
Control4 consolidates devices from your whole house into a single screen giving you the one-stop control over all air-conditioning, security systems, smart locks and, of course, your entertainment system. The software interacts with tens of thousands of devices from hundreds of brands. One device really can rule them all.
Voice assistants, smart locks, cameras and entrance controls allow you to reduce contact with products that may have been touched by others. Staying safe and in control is now easier than ever before.
No more worrying about if you turned the lights (or oven) off when you left the house. Instead, a simple button press can do that for you as you depart, as well as arming your home alarm and even closing the curtains. On your return, your home welcomes you in by turning the lights on, playing chilled music and setting the house to the perfect temperature. While home, your fixed-home-automation-devices are right where you need them from when you rise in the morning until you retire in at night. Use the fixed-touchscreen in your kitchen to easily follow a recipe or see who is at the door, a handheld remote control for watching TV and lighting keypads for bedtime. Control4 has everything covered.
Control4 allows you to personalise and control capabilities that make your smart home as unique as your personal fingerprint – from checking specific rooms to seeing the whole home at a glance. Behind the scenes it has built-in backups for when systems fail which includes power conditioning and surge protection to ensure peak performance.
