FEATURES INCLUDED IN THE UPDATE
The OS 3 offers many new features for your Control4 system. One is called “Favorites,” and as its name suggests, it is where you can place your favorite smart solutions and scenes – right at the top of your interface or app. Now all it takes is just one press of a button to find your most-used smart technologies without having to search or tap through your device.
You can also utilize this feature to set up “at-a-glance” views of any device or space throughout your home. Favorite your backyard gate lock, your front door, and your surveillance cameras so you make checking in on all of them easy right before bed or when you’re leaving for work.
OS 3 elevates multi-room audio video as well. The “Active Media” that also lives at the top of your interface shows you every media control and lets you manage your entire AV system with ease. Add or remove rooms that you want to play music or videos in with the “Sessions” feature. You can use this to adjust the volume or switch songs or choose to play the same movie in every room – it’s that simple.
Take your lighting and shading, as well as your security, to a whole new level with OS 3. Create scenes, set up schedules, and customize your system to fit your home automation needs completely.
INTERFACE APPEARANCE
If a system works wonderfully but is difficult to use, then its appeal immediately goes out the door. OS 3 guarantees that whether you’re lowering shades or turning on your entertainment center – you won’t have to deal with delays or hiccups. Controlling your system will be a breeze.
OS 3’s intuitive interface adapts to the smart device you’re using at the time. For example, the smartphone’s interface is designed for one-hand usage – giving you a vertical view that goes easy on your hand as you scroll and tap.
Using your smart TV’s interface lets you remain focused in on your entertainment setup and media, while still being able to manage the rest of your smart system with ease. Lower your motorized shades, dim the lights, and raise up the volume using your TV.
