LIGHTING AND SHADES
If you have smart lighting or motorized window treatments in your home, Control4 can help you create and edit programmed scenes. Scenes allow you to designate certain lights in your home to turn off or on at certain times in conjunction with your window treatments. You can program your motorized shades to rise at sunrise and hallway lights to turn on to light your path on the way out to work; you can also program your outdoor lighting to turn on at sunset while your motorized shades lower indoors. Whatever you desire, you can create with Control4 OS 3 scenes. Watch the video to learn more:
