It differs from DIY, off-the-shelf consumer products.

Because each build is completely custom, each home\u2019s system will be unique.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>TRANSFERRING OVER THE ACCOUNT<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>If you\u2019re in contact with the previous owner, here are the steps to transfer the system.<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span> Have the original homeowner log into their Customer account: Customer Portal<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span> Navigate to 4Sight and ensure that 4Sight won\u2019t auto-renew (so they don\u2019t get charged!):<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span> Update profile to new owner\u2019s email address: https:\/\/customer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span> &nbsp; &nbsp;As the new owner, you should receive a \u201cWelcome to Control4\u201d email, directing you to log into the account.&nbsp;<\/span><i><span>Remember to reset the password!<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li><span> Discuss any equipment that won\u2019t be staying in the home, such as cable, internet provider boxes, or satellites.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>If you\u2019re not in contact with the previous owner:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>You may need to get a Control4 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.control4.co.za\/\"><span>Smart Home Installer<\/span><\/a><span>&nbsp;to come on-site and register the account for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>NEXT ORDER OF BUSINESS:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Talk to Smart Home Professional<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>We recommend working with the seller to get the contact information for the original installer since they\u2019ll have the greatest familiarity with your home\u2019s system.

You can also discuss any additions to the system you want to make, like smart locks, security cameras, garage door sensors, outdoor audio, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A good installer will work hard to make your system function flawlessly, and it\u2019s worth having a good relationship with them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Get comfortable using your new system!<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>Ask your Pro or the previous owner to give you the rundown of your home\u2019s system, explaining its installation and ways to interact with it.
