Control4 Home Automation in Austin, TX
Control4 X4 ties lighting, audio, video, climate, and security into one interface. Bennett Technologies designs, installs, and supports it across Cedar Park and Austin.
The Control4 Smart Home Experience
Every Control4 system runs on an operating system the same way your phone does. The current one is Control4 X4. It ties your lighting, audio, video, climate, and security into a single interface you can reach from a remote, a touchscreen, a keypad, or the app.
Bennett Technologies programs that system around the way your household actually runs: the rooms you use, the scenes you want, the schedule you keep.
Design My System
Control It Your Way
Six ways into the same system. Every one of them stays in sync with the others.
Handheld Remote
The Halo remote runs the room you are in: video, music, lights, and shades from the couch.
Touchscreens
Wall mounted or tabletop, a touchscreen gives any room full control of the whole house.
Keypads
Engraved buttons replace banks of switches and fire a whole scene with one press.
Control4 App
The whole system on iPhone or Android. With Connect, it works the same from anywhere.
Voice Control
Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri all work, so the porch lights come on without a free hand.
Automation
Schedules and sensors handle the routine work before anyone reaches for a button.
What X4 Changes
X4 rebuilt the Control4 interface around how families use it day to day. If you last saw Control4 a few years ago, this is a different experience.
A Home Screen Built Around You
The X4 home screen shows the rooms and devices your family actually uses, with widgets you can resize and rearrange. Cameras, climate, and music sit one tap away.
Sessions: Every Room at a Glance
Sessions lists every room where music or video is playing. Adjust the volume, add rooms, or end everything at once from a single screen.
Routines You Edit Yourself
Routines tie schedules and actions together: shades up at 7:00, a playlist in the kitchen, porch lights at sunset. You build and adjust them yourself in the app whenever you like.
Apple HomeKit and CarPlay
Control4 scenes appear in Apple Control Center, on CarPlay, and through Siri, so the house can respond while you are still in the driveway.
Some features, including remote access and Apple HomeKit, require a Control4 Connect subscription.
In Hand and On the Wall
The interfaces are hardware you touch every day, built in finishes that belong in a finished room.
Three Remotes
Halo Touch
The flagship remote pairs a touchscreen with physical buttons, so favorites, scenes, and Sessions ride along with channel and volume. Wi-Fi based and rechargeable on its dock.
Halo
The same Wi-Fi platform with a full backlit button layout for people who want a real button for everything. It recharges on its dock, always ready when you reach for it.
SR-260
The basic, affordable handheld. Plain buttons for channels, volume, and room control, a fit for simpler rooms and budgets.
Lighting Devices and Keypads
Keypads
Engraved buttons in metal and wood-friendly finishes replace a bank of switches with one clean plate. Each button can run a whole scene.
Dimmers and Switches
Control4 dimmers and switches take the place of the plastic toggles you have now and join the same scenes and schedules as everything else in the house.
New Build or Retrofit
Centralized lighting panels serve new construction. Wireless keypads and dimmers drop into existing walls, so a remodel is never required to get there.
The Rooms It Transforms
One system, applied room by room. These are the jobs we design, wire, and program most.
Lighting Scenes
One press sets the room: keypad engravings you choose, scenes for dinner and movie night, and schedules that handle the porch at sunset.

Climate and Shades
Thermostats, radiant floors, fireplaces, and motorized shades work from the same schedules to hold the temperature you want.
The Front Door
See and speak to whoever rings from a touchscreen or your phone, then let them in from the same screen. Intercom Anywhere is built in.
Outdoor Living
Landscape speakers, weatherproof TVs, and pathway lighting run on the same system, scheduled around Texas evenings.

A Control4 system keeps working locally without any subscription. Two optional services decide how far it reaches beyond the house and who watches its health.

Assist and Assist Premium
Manufacturer-backed remote support from Control4: expert help that resolves issues remotely and proactive monitoring that catches problems early. It works alongside our own service team, and Bennett Technologies stays your first call.
Luma Insights
Camera notifications that can tell a person from a vehicle, a package, or the family dog, with seven days of cloud clip storage. An add-on for homes that want smarter alerts.
Works With More Than 25,000 Devices
Control4 publishes compatibility with over 25,000 third-party products, so the gear you already own has a place in the system. Apple TV and Roku on the video side. Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, Tidal, and SiriusXM for music. Lutron, Triad, Sony, Samsung, Denon, and Epson among the brands we install and integrate every week.
"Michael and his team are top notch. I met with him in an empty Condo downtown Austin. Explained how I wanted the system to work. We drew designs on the walls in pencil and he hit a home run. When I host friends and family for holidays or parties they are in awe of the technology set up. Michael is always just a text away if I have questions or concerns. Highly recommended."
