Guest Post: How Control4 Has Changed My Life Blog

Today's blog post is from Control4's Beta Program Manager, Matt Sand, on how home automation has truly changed his life: Have you ever worried that you forgot to lock the doors at night? Have you ever wondered, "what if someone breaks in and takes my kids during the night?"  What would you do if a water leakage occurred while on vacation? Have you ever just wanted to turn on your thermostat without getting out of bed? In 2006, the ability to do all of this and more came true for my family and I when I installed Control4. Control4 provides me the opportunity to have my family feel safe and secure.

This way, if I am out and the door opens unexpectedly, I can call a neighbour or family member to check it out for me. That’s cool by itself, but I found a better use for it.    I popped out to the local shops to pick up some essentials in my car – it’s only a few minutes away.
