Most homes today are full of technology, but very little of it works together. There’s one app for the heating, another for the doorbell, a handful of remotes for the TV and cinema, and light switches in every room. It can feel like the technology is running you, rather than the other way round.
Control4 changes that. As a Control4 Authorised Dealer, Synova AV designs and installs Control4 smart home systems across Leeds and Yorkshire, bringing your lighting, heating, entertainment and security together into one simple, reliable system.
What Is Control4?
Control4 is one of the world’s leading smart home automation platforms, installed in homes around the world. Unlike off-the-shelf smart devices that you set up yourself, Control4 is a professionally designed and installed system. That means it’s tailored to your home, the way you live and the systems you already have, and it’s built to work reliably day after day.
Control4 works with thousands of third-party products, so rather than replacing everything, we can often integrate much of your existing equipment into one seamless experience.
What Can You Control?
- Lighting – set the perfect mood in any room, create lighting scenes and automate lights to suit the time of day. Learn more about smart lighting.
- Heating and climate – adjust the temperature room by room, or automatically when you leave or return home.
- Music and TV – stream music to any room and watch any source on any screen with multi-room audio and visual.
- Home cinema – one button to dim the lights, close the blinds, power on the projector and start the film.
- Blinds and shading – open and close blinds and curtains individually, by room or on a schedule.
- Security and access – view CCTV, check who’s at the door, open the gates and arm the alarm, all from the same app.
Smart Scenes: One Touch, Everything Just Happens
The real magic of Control4 is in scenes, where a single button or command sets up your whole home exactly how you want it. For example:
- Good Morning – blinds open, lights come up gently, the heating’s already warm and your favourite radio station plays in the kitchen.
- Movie Night – lights dim, the cinema powers up and the sound system is ready to go.
- Leaving Home – every light turns off, the heating drops back, the doors lock and the alarm sets.
- Goodnight – downstairs lights off, doors locked, landing lights on low and the house secured.
Every scene is designed around you, and can be adjusted as your routines change.
Simple Control, However You Like
Control4 is designed to be easy for everyone in the household, not just the technology enthusiast. You can control your home using:
- the Control4 app on your phone or tablet, at home or away
- elegant in-wall and tabletop touchscreens
- Control4 handheld remotes
- smart keypads that replace traditional light switches with engraved, clearly labelled buttons
- voice control with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant
Why Professional Installation Matters
A smart home is only as good as the design and network behind it. Every Synova AV Control4 installation starts with a consultation to understand how you live, followed by a system designed specifically for your home. We make sure your home network is robust enough to support it, programme every scene and schedule, and walk you through everything at handover.
Because Control4 is professionally supported, our aftercare service means we can adjust, update and expand your system as your needs change, whether that’s adding a new room, a new scene or integrating new equipment.
Is Control4 Right for Your Home?
Control4 is ideal if you’re:
- building a new home or carrying out a major renovation
- adding a home cinema or media room and want it to be simple to use
- frustrated with multiple apps and remotes that don’t work together
- looking for reliable, whole-home control that’s properly supported
Systems can start with just a room or two, such as a cinema or living space, and grow over time into full-home automation.
