For homes
A home that responds to the moment.
Lighting, music, shades, cameras and climate that work together, planned around your routines and supported by a local team in Markham.
A day in a connected home
Technology you notice only when it helps.
This is what a typical weekday looks like in a home with lighting, shades, audio, security and Control4 working together.
- Wake upBedroom shades rise and the hallway lights come on softly. The house is already at the right temperature.
- LeaveOne press of “Away” turns off every light, lowers the shades, sets the alarm and locks the door.
- ArriveThe driveway camera sees the car, the entry lights come on and your playlist starts in the kitchen.
- Movie nightLights dim, shades close, the projector and sound system start. One remote does it all.
- GoodnightFrom bed, check that the doors are locked and the garage is closed, then turn everything off.

Questions
Common questions from homeowners.
Do I need to do the whole house at once?
No. Many homes start with networking, lighting or entertainment and add more in phases. We plan the first phase so later additions are simple.
Will my family find it easy to use?
That’s the point of the design. Keypads are engraved with plain labels, remotes are simple and the app shows only what each person needs.
Can you work in a finished home without opening walls?
Often, yes. Wireless lighting control, battery shades and careful cable routing let us add a lot with little disruption. A site visit confirms what’s practical.
What happens after installation?
We walk you through the system at handover and stay available for questions, changes and support. Many updates can be done remotely.
Let’s discuss what fits your project.
