The Coolest Products at CEDIA Blog

We had our Dealer Tools Product Manager, Miguel Perez, walking the floor of CEDIA so that he could share with us the coolest products he could find. Here is his summary: The Best of CEDIA. (At Least in My Mind) I love technology. I am a geek 100% of the time. You couple my love for technology and a show like CEDIA, and you get one happy guy, (basically a kid at Disney World). However, CEDIA is hard work. CEDIA = weeks of preparation, partner meetings, conversations with dealers, demos, and packing and unpacking the amazing Control4 booth (a story for another day). So, you might be asking, why do I like CEDIA? It sounds like a nightmare.

Is This the World’s Greenest Home? Blog

In honor of Earth Day, we wanted to highlight this beautiful and amazingly green California home, which uses sustainable and regenerative materials plus a high-tech home automation system from Control4 to maximize energy efficiency. The homeowners wanted to debunk three myths in green home building: (1) Green homes are ugly, concrete boxes, (2) Green homes are twice as expensive as a standard home, and (3) Living in a green home requires you to fundamentally change your lifestyle.    Mission accomplished.    The house is absolutely gorgeous, open and airy. It cost just 2-5% more than other, non energy-efficient homes in the area and is saving money in the long run.

Control4 and China Blog

你好 (Nǐ hǎo),   China is one of the top emerging global markets in the world today.  With a year-over-year gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 7.9% in 2012 compared to 2% for the United States during the same period, China has a vibrant and growing economy.    With this prosperity, consumers in China have been bringing technology into their homes at a rapid rate, which leads to the same problems consumers face in America and other countries around the world, which is, too many methods of control for those devices.  This often leads to frustration, especially when the assumption is that technology should make everyone’s life simpler, not more complex and stressful.  This is where Control4 technology can help reduce that frustration and help simplify people’s lives.

Internet of...Toys? Christmas Gadgets for Techy-Tots. Blog

Let’s face it, we live in a world where all things Internet are becoming connected in one way or another (hence, the term “Internet of Things”). Gone are the days of the Tinker Toy and Furby.  Sayonara to the Slinky and Simon. But hey, if you are still holding on to a pristine-condition Teddy Ruxpin or ThunderCats figurine, they are now worth some serious cash. Kids of this era are more interested in toys with flashing lights, robotic movements, and loud noises—you know, the ones that leave us parents wanting to rip our hair out in patches. However, Internet-connected toys aren’t all bad, in fact, some of them are great for education and development.

Control FORE! Blog

Dewey Tomko had a problem: He’d find himself thinking about his golf swing at night, when no course was open to practice on. So, he built his own. Now, Dewey can play golf when it’s raining or dark out--and so can you. Dewey’s Indoor Golf & Sports Grill is a 12,000-square-foot high-end entertainment center, just down the road from the convention center in Orlando, Florida. Here, golfers can swing on virtual versions of courses from around the world, and then relax in a luxury sports bar straight out of Vegas. It’s a dream come true for Dewey, who knows a lot about golf – but quite as much about technology.
