The Benefits of a Dedicated Touch Screen Blog

This post comes to us from Lisa Montgomery, Senior Editor at Electronic House and freelance home technology writer. A few years ago, a little thing called the “app” altered the way people interact with the electronic systems in their homes. With only a swipe and a tap, smartphone-loving homeowners were in complete charge of everything from thermostats and light switches to complete home automation systems. Convenient? Absolutely.  And who can deny the cool factor associated with whipping out a phone while on a date to get the house ready for an impromptu nightcap? With so much hoopla surrounding control apps, it can be easy to forget about one of the most respected user-interfaces available: the dedicated touch screen.

LAG Architects Project

Architects are rewarded for paying attention to detail, particularly when it comes to their own offices. LAG Architects knew they wanted automation to be a part of their office, so when they contacted CEG Contractors, a Control4 dealer, their requirements were clear. A key requirement was contributing to a clean look in the office and reinforcing a simple but elegant design by keeping devices and equipment hidden over the ceiling or in closets. Multi-phase Approach LAG had a list of things they wanted to do and worked with CEG to divide their requests into two phases. In the first phase, CEG integrated office lighting, AC, and video, configuring the Control4 system to support and integrate these key features.

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.
