Connection time outs

Jan Folmer

After spending so much on Control 4 home automation, really disappointing how often the app times out to connect to the system. I expected snappy connection, but most of the times it takes 10secs or so to connect. This needs to be addressed imho

Not the best does NOT work with Google or Apple

The interface is boring. Does not work on Apple Watch/crashes when opened. Does not work with Apple’s Home app. Only works on google if you contact a dealer and get a special drive downloaded which is really inconvenient. Only compatible with Alexa. These things should be fixed for a better user experience. I am probably going to replace this one that is “out of the box compatible” with google home and Apple.

Camera

The camera does not change to the real time it not moving or update to the reality time, I have to close the app and go to the camera again so the time will move forward, It so annoyed.

Won’t Connect

Terrible connectivity. Probably slow on purpose to encourage us to buy their expensive hardware. App is not convenient and doubt I’ll renew my subscription unless they resolve connection issue. Needs to have zero lag time.

Major disappointment

This app has many problems: 1) It is very slow. Every time I open the app it has to connect to my system. This takes several seconds. Not a big deal, but it constantly has to re-connect to my app while I’m using it. That makes for a frustrating user experience. 2) It crashes all the time. I’m on the latest version of the app on on an iPhone XS so it is not my phone. 3) Basic tasks such as starting your music from Airplay require tons of actions. It should not be this complicated. 4) The camera portion is awful so I have to use a separate app, which defeats the purpose of having everything run through Control4. 5) i do not get alerts when basic things happen, such as the doorbell ringing or the alarm going off. This all makes me wish I did not have s Control4 system. I think separate systems from Ring, Nest, etc are far superior and much cheaper.

Find the right installer!

Had to learn the hard way. I originally had my system installed by our builders sub company “data smart” and they assured me that they were top notch and would do a great job. Turns out they just make a big show and promise allot of things but they never delivered. As soon as they got my money it was all over with. Nothing worked right with constant issues. I finally did what I should have done the first time and did some research and found a highly customer related company that is a smaller company. Customer service is amazing and my system runs perfect! Be aware.. Don't just go with who your builder tells you to use. They make it seem like you have to but you dont!!!!

iWatch does not sync

Since control 4 updated the new OS, my Entertainment button disappeared so I could not control the music (ie, select room zone off-on, change the music, etc) control anymore. I wonder if the control 4 developer has already awared about it and fixes it or not. Please advise

Great automation system!

Loved Control4 and so does my whole family. Most bad ratings here are because of bad installations/programming. We had ours done by AV City in Houston TX and works great! Highly recommend.

Great Control System

Disclaimer: I am a dealer/installer I have this system in my own home. For installation, be sure to use a reputable installer who can show you either a showroom, or a working site with custom functions that shows competency. The app itself is ok and does the job with an older interface. The system itself is versatile and great. For the best results, upgrade necessary equipment and update to the new OS3.0 for an up to date look and functionality.

Awesome

Love the new layout. Very sleek and modern. Now as an installer and programmer for control4 I’m sure we will have lots of updates in the near future.
