Exciting news for smart home enthusiasts: Control4 is set to launch its next-generation operating system, Control4 X4, in early 2025. This release promises to redefine the smart home experience with a host of innovative features designed to enhance convenience, personalization, and seamless integration.

Key Features of Control4 X4:
• Redesigned Home Screen: The new, intuitive home screen serves as a centralised hub, allowing users to monitor and control their favourite devices from a single interface.
• Customisable Widgets: Personalise your home screen with widgets that provide quick access to frequently used functions, such as cameras and device statuses. These widgets can be resized and rearranged to suit individual preferences.
• Curated Routines: Easily create, modify, and schedule routines directly from the Control4 app, enabling your smart home to adapt to your daily habits and preferences.
• Apple HomeKit Integration: Seamlessly integrate your Control4 system with Apple HomeKit, allowing for expanded control options and compatibility with a wider range of devices.

Preparing for the Upgrade:

To ensure a smooth transition to Control4 X4, it’s essential to verify that your current system meets the necessary requirements:
• Controller Compatibility: Control4 X4 is compatible with systems running OS 3.3.1 or later, specifically those utilizing CA, EA, and CORE controllers. Legacy HC controllers are not supported.
