We are proud to announce that our Alpharetta Control4 Certified showroom is now open to the public. You can come to check out the best in smart home technology Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., or schedule a visit to get a private demo of the showroom. 

The brand-new showroom helps us showcase the best technology from dedicated outdoor music speakers to Contro4’s home automation systems. Below we highlight some of our favorite items to demo at the new location, but there’s much more for you to explore.  

Control4 Certified Showroom

Our Alpharetta and Atlanta locations are two of the few Control4 Certified showrooms in the country. Designated as one of the best dealers in the market after an extensive vetting process, we’re proud to show off the many ways Control4 technology transforms your home. In our showroom, you can take part in demos showcasing the one-touch whole home experience.

Do you want a more natural way to manage lights, music, climate, security and more? A smart home solution from Control4 gives you intuitive control from dedicated touchpads, mobile apps, or even Amazon Alexa. Now you can experience the smart home difference firsthand in our showroom.

Séura Mirror TV

During your visit, you’ll also be able to interact with some of the coolest products on the market. A customer favorite is the Séura Mirror TV, which does double duty as a vanity mirror and a dedicated touchpad to manage and adjust your smart technology. Integrate your devices through skills or apps you download directly on to the mirror. Séura Mirror TVs also integrate with Amazon Alexa so you can use voice commands when your hands are occupied while you get ready in the morning.

Everyone wants to feel safe in their homes.  A recent survey by real estate firm Coldwell Banker revealed that homebuyers were highly interested in smart security features.  70% of respondents said they wanted smart fire and carbon monoxide detectors in their next home.  Over 60% of the people surveyed were found to be interested in having smart locks, smart lighting, and smart surveillance cameras installed before they moved in.  

This kind of data would indicate that homeowners are motivated to use newer technology to keep tabs on their homes and make sure that their homes, possessions, and loved ones are safe. So, if that old-style alarm system with the timed beeps for arming, the inconvenient control pads, and the sensors that inadvertently go off at random aren’t going to cut it, what are consumers looking for?

They’re looking to be aware and be informed at all times about what’s going on at their home. But beyond alerts and viewing a video feed from a security camera, they want a system that is flexible, as well as proactive in its ability to react to potential incidents. 

A Control4 smart home security system has the power and intelligence needed to take your [location] home’s security to the next level.  Read on to learn about the security features that can deliver true peace of mind.

Always Be in the Know

With today’s Internet-connected devices, people expect to always be informed of what’s going on.  Control4 smart security delivers on that and more. Naturally, you can call up a video feed from a security camera on a smartphone with the Control4 App.  When inside the house, the video feed can be seen on a TV screen or a Control4 Touch Screen. 

The internet is changing things. It makes it easy to find information, communicate with family and coworkers, and use complex technology.

One of the greatest benefits of an Internet-connected world is how simple it is to shop. Online retailers abound, and you can get anything your heart desires with a few taps on your keyboard. The only problem is that when those items arrive at your door, they’re not always what they’re cracked up to be. No matter the sizing chart, reviews, or specs, you just can’t ensure quality unless you try things out before you buy them.

It goes for your clothing, your car, and especially your multi-room audio system. If you’re thinking about adding audio distribution to your property, here are three great reasons you should stop by our Atlanta, GA Control4 Certified Showroom before you make an investment.

Physical Test

For all of the technology that goes into a modern sound system, speakers are relatively uncomplicated devices. By that, we mean most of the quality comes from the physical makeup of the unit, not digital manipulation.

Recently Opus Brilliance released the OpusCube, a fine-pixel LED video wall ideal for commercial and home theater applications. It repurposes the same technology used in supersized screens like you’d see at sports stadiums to help expand the reach of residential displays.

The OpusCube is a state-of-the-art screen you can configure to meet any size, without sacrificing clarity or brightness. This modular video wall combines panels that automatically adjust to be the same color age and brightness as current panels to create one uniform image.

In this blog, we go a bit more in-depth into why OpusCube and similar video walls could make projectors obsolete in home theater installations in Atlanta, GA and throughout the country.

Size

The number one benefit of the OpusCube is the ability to customize it to any size. Many traditional flat screens don’t go beyond 80 inches, and even then they’re exorbitantly priced. Which is why many homes opt for projector-and-screen installations. The OpusCube eliminates those limitations. As long as the room allows it, you can go as big as you want without having to sacrifice a big chunk of your budget. It's easy to add and remove the magnetized panels as needed to create the ideal configuration. 

When you speak, you want to be heard. It makes you feel like what you say matters. It’s essential in every relationship you have.

So why wouldn’t you want it out of your smart home technology? Voice-controlled home automation is one of the biggest developments to hit the market in decades, and it’s changing the way we interact with each device in our system. That’s why Control4 has joined forces with Amazon Alexa.

How will the new technology affect your Control4 system? Keep reading to find out.

How it Works

Voice control can’t be as simple as it sounds, can it? What about regional dialects, accents, and pronunciation?

Actually, it is that simple. Thanks to the Internet, popular voice control platforms can easily understand most commands. And they receive periodic updates that improve their understanding over time.
