We are pleased that Electronic House recognized 4Sight as a significant leap forward for customers and the home automation industry at large, said Will West, Chief Executive Officer, Control4. The availability of true, affordable remote management of home automation from any location via the internet represents an entirely new dimension for the home automation industry. The 4Sight service allows homeowners to monitor and control their home from anywhere via a web browser.
This access is completely encrypted and requires no additional configuration of the router or firewall in the home. 4Sight gives homeowners the ability to monitor their home or adjust key settings, such as turning on and off the lights and adjusting the temperature. In addition, customers can receive email notifications about events occurring in the home.
For dealers, 4Sight provides a way to program, maintain and upgrade customers' Control4 installations, with their permission, without having to schedule a service call. Dealers will be able to configure systems from anywhere, allowing for faster reaction times and operational cost savings. Control4 is bringing a fundamental shift to the home automation industry with affordable wired and wireless products, said Cindy Davis, Editor-in-Chief of Electronic House.
