Control4 for OS 2 Reviews

Great system (get the right install company)

Flako0216

I’ve been installing control4 for the past 8 years. I’ve been having in my house for 7 years and very little to no problems. This is a custom system not a diy. The bigger the company the lower the custom service FYI.

Solid release

Baby threadbare

Solid app, only crashes on some camera loads. Generally very solid. Works well remotely and away from house too.

No more Control 4 for me.

1 star review: I gave up on Control 4, sold everything on eBay, and replaced it all with Amazon features that actually work and are much, much less expensive... like not even close. And when I do have a rare issue with an Amazon product, I can actually fix it myself! Control 4 makes you hire a contractor. I am so happy to be done with this lousy company. 2 star review: Control 4 is fine when it works. Various times throughout the day, I press a command to have no response. My dealer told me to wait 5 minutes and try again. Uh huh... my God I spent a lot of money on this for that type of service. It’s also cute that in order to use the watch feature, i need to restart my watch thereby eliminating any usefulness that the watch app would have. In that time, I can grab my phone. There is so much potential here. I wish Control 4 would get their “stuff” together. Until then please stay away. Try literally anything else. I’ve spent 1000s on this and is one of my life regrets. 4 star review: Update: Seemingly the day after I wrote my original review my Control 4 system has not been offline once. Like I said, it’s fine when it works and I’m happy it has been working flawlessly for over a month. I also discovered I can press and hold on the watch app and it will reconnect to the system so I no longer need to restart my watch to make that feature work. Still ridiculous that I have to do that though.

Awful

Updated review after being contacted by the developer: Zero stars. My BluRay player died. Replaced it with a basic generic Sony DVD non-BluRay. After over 30 minutes they still couldn’t get the player to turn on or off using the universal remote. I can get it to work if I manually turn it on and off. Not acceptable. Our builder sold these to almost everyone in our 360 unit high end home subdivision. Almost everyone is getting rid of this crap. I’m gonna scrap it all in another month. I’ve had enough. Original review: Here’s the reason why this is the worst home automation universal remote ever... NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, can be changed, added, edited or removed by the user. EVERYTHING has to go through a dealer. EVERYTHING. And of course, that means every little change incurs yet another charge and/or service call. This is nothing more than a scam. I hate the entire system.

Contro4 most functionality for Apple Watch

I used to love being able to control my music on my Control 4 system through my Apple Watch - not anymore ? Not sure why but that function no longer works and is no longer advertised as a service. Bring it back PLEASE!

Major fail fixed

I just updated the IOS app and now the wake up agent is missing from the climate icon in all rooms. Thanks for the latest patch. Wakeup works again!

Too slow to be useful and no configuration

Every time I open the App, it has to connect to system. On my home network it takes about 7 seconds. On external network about 20 to 90 seconds. If you want to open and close garage door, useless I open the app about 4 blocks before arriving home so I don’t have to sit in the car for a few minutes before door opens! If I get close enough and phone starts to pick up wifi, it will become useless. I have to turn off wifi, wait about a minute for connect and open the door. Very annoying. Also, virtually any configuration has to be done by dealer. This is highly annoying. Breaking functionality so you are forced to interact with installer over the phone for even small changes (like function on a light switch) is a terrible strategy.

AMAZING!

I can control virtually anything in my house from my phone! This app is a life saver, and is my lazy me’s best friend! Thank you Control4!

Horrible

Cattycath

Can’t play music anymore! Can’t watch my camera if I am not home even though I pay monthly for that feature! Nothing works right since the last update

Over rated and antiquated

Major disappointment. Using for three years with multiple implementations: audio, lighting, home theater, garage opening, and other tv’s. Nowhere near the value related to the expense. Loading times, disconnects, and amazingly archaic user interface. If I were to do it again, I would just save the money. Installers gave it rave reviews because they get economic benefit. Then they sell based off the false benefit. UI is circa 2000’s.
