Motorized Window Shades
Installing motorized window shades is an easy upgrade to make, adding convenience to your residents’ everyday lives. Not only do motorized shades keep the sun’s direct rays out of the apartment, but they also protect apartment furniture from fading and lower residents’ energy bills. By connecting motorized shades to a Control4 automation system, residents can operate the shades - as well as many other integrated technologies - from any location.
Smart Security Features
By upgrading to smart security features, your residents will feel safer at home or away. A smart security system can include:
- Cameras for monitoring front door activity
- Automated door locks
- Smartphone alerts when threats are detected
- Video doorbells with two-way audio
- Fire, smoke, water leak, and carbon monoxide detection
Right from their phone, a resident has the ability to view camera footage, speak to visitors at the door, and arm and disarm their alarm systems. They can also lock and unlock their doors for visitors while away from home, a much better option than leaving a key under the doormat.
Smart Comfort Settings
A smart thermostat helps residents maintain a comfortable temperature in their apartments throughout the day. Those budget-conscious residents will appreciate the ability to program temperatures for optimal efficiency, saving them money on utilities. For instance, they can program air conditioning to run less while they’re away at work and then turn on right before returning home. As a result, the resident comes home to a comfortable and cooled room where they can relax after a long day.
Lighting Control
With a Control4 smart control system, lighting control is an easy way to add convenience, security, and energy efficiency to your residents’ lives. With lighting controls, residents can program lights to turn on and off, adjust with dimmers, and program scenes that change multiple lights (and other technologies) simultaneously. Residents will love the ease of lighting controls.
