SAFE AND SECURE, AT HOME OR AWAY A monitored alarm system, complimented by smart programming to enhance the experience of comfort and safety. Your smart home will automatically turn on the lights when you or a loved one gets up in the middle of the night, and turn them off again when it's quiet. Press a single button on the wall or at your bedside table and your smart home can turn off the television, set the lights, ensure the doors are locked and arm the perimeter security. With an integrated smoke detector, family members would be awakened to the sound of instructions asking them to assemble outside, while the smart home controller lights the way to safety, flashes the exterior lights and alerts the fire department and police.

          How Does a Control4 Dimmer Save Energy? 

          First, advanced circuitry in each dimmer can cycle current to lights 120 times per second - too fast for the human eye to notice but a very real saving.                   
          Second, each dimmer has a ZigBee radio and can be programmed to come on and turn off only when needed as part of a whole-home automation system. Control4 uses dimmers, timers and occupancy sensors to reduce waste. Did you know that setting the dimmer to 90% saves 10% of your electricity.

          Dimmers are also available for EVT lighting.  Look for dimmable compact floursescent bulbs.
