Control4 X4: A New Era of Smart Living
Control4 has unveiled X4, a major evolution of its operating system that transforms the platform from a simple control interface into a comprehensive smart living experience. Personalized, intelligent, and designed around how you actually live — X4 is the biggest update to Control4 in years.
What's New in X4
All-New Home Screen
The redesigned Home Screen serves as the hub for a seamlessly connected living experience. Control and monitor your favorite devices — lights, cameras, thermostats, and more — all from a single, intuitive interface. It's the command center your smart home deserves.
Personalized Widgets
Organize your Home Screen with personalized widgets that give you quick access to the functions you use most. Swap, resize, and rearrange widgets to create the perfect layout for your household. Whether it's checking camera feeds, adjusting the thermostat, or controlling music — everything is just a tap away.
Routines
Create automated actions tailored to your lifestyle with the new Routines feature. Think of them as flexible, interactive scenes with built-in schedules. Set your home to automatically adjust lighting, lock doors, and arm security when you leave — or create a morning routine that gradually raises the shades and starts your favorite playlist.
Apple HomeKit Integration
X4 brings expanded Apple integration to Control4. Manage devices independently, access scenes, and convert Apple ecosystem devices into personalized interfaces for your smart home. X4 supports:
- Apple CarPlay — Control your home from the car
- Apple Widgets — Quick access from your iPhone home screen
- Siri Voice Control — "Hey Siri, set the house to Movie Night"
- AirPlay 2 — Now supported on the Triad SA-1 amplifier
Good to Know
- New X4 systems no longer require Control4 Connect — simplifying setup and reducing ongoing costs
- Upgrading from a previous Control4 OS version? A Connect license is still needed for the upgrade process
- Existing Control4 projects are eligible for upgrade with product discounts through your dealer
