Why We Suggest Keypads for Your Home Lighting Automation System

Considering some design adjustments to your home this spring? Don’t neglect the look of your home lighting automation accessories. Not every fixture ranks the same in terms of aesthetic qualities and customization, so we like to advocate for fewer switches and more keypads when we install smart lighting systems in Minneapolis, MN, homes like yours.

After all, we believe the sharpest-looking design should accompany the smartest lighting. Keep reading to see why the intuitive nature of these Control4 devices will make you want to part with your outdated lighting switches and start using keypads.

CONTROL4’S WIRELESS KEYPADS

The Control4 Wireless Configurable Keypad is an elegant and customizable user interface that showcases the power of single-touch automation. The device can be configured with two to seven buttons using five different button sizes. Whether you need to retrofit an older home or enhance a new build, the keypads’ low-maintenance installation can make it happen.

MORE BUTTON ARRANGEMENTS THAN YOU’D IMAGINE

Control4’s design options will astound users. Depending on various factors like size and number of each button, Control4’s 37 keypad configurations will ensure that your accessories match every style need or preference you might have.

There’s no need to worry about how many buttons you’ll need on a specific keypad before (or even after) installation. Lelch Audio Video will figure that out for you based on the automated functions you have or plan to implement.

Switches, on the other hand, help your home process binary information and don’t speak to the complexity of the modern smart home. Sure, they can turn a light on or off, but they can’t handle complex signals such as dimming lights, lowering shades and turning on a projector — all of which can happen with one touch of a “Movie” button.

WORDS AND SIGNALS

If you prefer to choose pictures when evoking a scene, Control4’s keypads offer symbols that you can either use with text or as standalone options. You’ll find 50 different icons, from a “Play” image to a music note.

These words and symbols are backlit so that you can see them at night as you’re walking down a dim hallway. This LED backlighting feature senses surrounding illumination and automatically adjusts.
