Showroom Spotlight: A Lights Out Location in Indianapolis Blog

The Challenge Since 1999, The Premier Group has been servicing homeowners in Indianapolis, IN and surrounding areas with technology solutions and installation services for audio, video, lighting, electrical, and more. During those 20 years, the integration business has changed dramatically. Where audio/video solutions used to dominate Premier’s business, today categories such as networking, security, and automation are becoming much more common. The folks at Premier found it increasingly difficult to explain to customers the vast possibilities of the smart home.      As one of Control4’s first authorized dealers, Premier understood the importance of demonstrating to homeowners how nearly all of their technology can work together seamlessly and be managed and controlled through one single system.

Monitor your home from anywhere with smart technology Blog

Being away from home doesn't mean you can't stay abreast of what’s happening while you’re gone.

The DIY Delusion of Home Automation Blog

This post comes to us from Ted Haeger, former Vice President of Education & Support at Control4. Ted brings over 25 years of experience from the enterprise and consumer technology fields and the work from his team has led to multiple industry awards for first-class online and in-classroom training programs.  GUIDANCE FROM A GEEK WHO PREFERS TO GO-IT-ALONE When I bought my modest 2,300-square-foot suburban home, I was pretty keen on the idea that I would automate it myself. Seriously, how hard could it be? Or, so I thought.   The typical person who gets the itch to automate their own home is a lot like me: technical and self-reliant.

WHAT’S NEW WITH CONTROL4 IN 2020? Blog

2020 has brought us a lot of things; working and schooling remotely from home, a collection of face masks, and perhaps some PTSD about shopping for toilet paper. But it hasn’t all been bad. It has brought us closer to our families, made us more aware of self-care, and finally compelled us to start on those home improvement projects. It’s also been a year filled with some pretty cool new products, software, and apps that help us transform our homes—which we’re spending more time in than ever before!—into spaces that we can not only stand, but really enjoy spending some serious quarantine time in.

Smart Intercoms are the Way to Go for Better Communication Blog

Remember those clunky, knob-ridden intercom boxes that passed your voice from one room to another? Remember when they were considered high-tech? While intercom systems still play a part in a smart, connected lifestyle, they’ve grown so much more sophisticated in their capabilities. They’ve also slimmed down considerably, making them more of a sleek showpiece than an eyesore. Boasting built-in cameras, Internet connectivity, and cool cosmetics, cutting-edge intercoms provide peace of mind, seamless communication, and smarts to speak with other devices.     What’s so special about today’s intercoms? For starters, you no longer need to be at home to communicate with various rooms in your home or the front door.
