Exploring Control4 X4: Reimagined User Interface

Launching soon in early 2025... the next big thing in home automation is coming!

According to Snap One, the new X4 OS will be releasing early 2025, with an exact date not yet specified. Partners can expect to receive access to multiple webinars, demos, and more in the coming months.

Control4 has recently unveiled its latest innovation, Control4 X4, which is set to launch in early 2025. This next-generation operating system aims to revolutionise how users engage with their smart home systems, providing a more intuitive and personalised experience.

Control4 X4 acts as a home automation controller, seamlessly integrating and managing a variety of smart devices throughout your home. Featuring a sleek design and advanced functionalities, X4 serves as the central hub for all your connected devices, enabling you to control lighting, climate, security systems, audio/video equipment, and more—all from a single interface, including your smartphone.

Why Control4 X4 Matters

Integration and Design 

Control4 X4 features a completely reimagined user interface, making it easier for users to control and monitor their favourite devices. The new home screen serves as the central hub for a seamlessly connected living experience. Looking closer at the interface itself, Control4 X4 features a modern and minimalist design that is meant to be simple and easy to understand for the non-technically minded. The interface also utilises a completely new navigation design language to ensure that even as new devices and systems are added to a home, they too can be easily populated onto Control4 X4's interface. Users can also set favourites and shortcuts to provide quick access to frequently used controls and scenes, making daily interactions seamless. Let's take a closer look at some of these brand new interactions and features...

Control4 X4's New Features: Say Hello To Enhanced Personalisation 

Enhanced integration of systems and personalisation is another one of the many big updates coming to Control4 X4 with new personalised widgets, a routine feature and expanded Apple HomeKit integration. 

Widgets

As shown in the photo below, your phone will feature personalized widgets that enable users to customize their home screen to their liking. This provides quick access to frequently used functions like camera feeds and device status. You can optimize your home screen and room layout by swapping, resizing, and rearranging widgets as desired.

Apple HomeKit Integration

Reflecting the growing consumer demand for seamless control and providing a unique opportunity for partners, Control4 X4 now features enhanced Apple HomeKit functionality. This upgrade allows for deeper integration within the Apple ecosystem, enabling unified management of the Control4 system through Apple products like CarPlay, the iPhone Control Center, and Mac Desktop.

With Apple Home, customers can independently manage their devices, access scenes, and transform all Apple ecosystem devices into customizable interfaces without needing an integrator. From CarPlay to Apple widgets and Siri, users can launch scenes via Siri and adjust individual lighting dimmers and other devices with ease.

Curated Routines

Similarly, another key advantage of Control4 is its new Routine feature. This capability can be enhanced through the various integrable options offered by Control4. Whether it’s personalised scenes to create the perfect ambiance for movie nights or automated routines that adjust your home’s temperature according to your schedule, the possibilities are nearly endless.
