Using an Older Control4 System? 4 Reasons to Update
Upgrade Your Smart Home with SuRe InnoVations, Saskatoon’s Control4 Dealer
Was your home’s Control4 system installed in the early 2000s or 2010s? Even if it performs well, you’re missing out on a world of possibilities and benefits that have been rolled out since then.
With help from a certified Control4 dealer like SuRe InnoVations, you can update your existing smart home system with the latest OS 3 software and hardware. Here’s what a Control4 upgrade can bring to your Saskatoon, SK, smart home.

1. Beautiful New Wall Keypads
Older versions of Control4’s wall keypads now appear somewhat clunky and outdated. Why not upgrade your custom keypads with Control4’s sleek, modern Contemporary Lighting line (pictured above)? Elegant backlit engravings signify if lights are on in certain areas, if doors are open, or if media is playing. With ten premium finishes to choose from, the new keypads will tastefully complement your home’s interior.
2. New Intuitive Interface
Control4’s OS 3 makes it easier to find the device or room you’re looking for on your phone or tablet. The upgraded interface allows users to save favourite rooms and devices on the home screen. So if you’re always playing podcasts on whole-home speakers, Spotify or Apple Podcasts will be there waiting for you front and center.
You can still search for devices and scenes by category (Watch, Listen, Comfort, etc.), and Control4 will remember what you last opened, suggesting that icon first among control options. OS 3 also makes it easier to search your smart system with the new Filter feature to find the exact device you’re looking for faster. Tap “All,” and you’ll see all similar devices at once—which is especially handy when powering off everything simultaneously.
Control4’s OS 3 is not only more intuitive than previous versions but also more customisable. You can now add wallpapers to each room scene, which many homeowners set as a picture of the room.
3. New Lighting Colour Wheel
Within Control4’s latest OS 3.3.0 system, users can intelligently control smart lights with a native colour wheel that’s all-new to Control4. In previous versions of Control4 lighting control, colours could only be adjusted through blue, green, and red sliders. But in the latest interface, sliders are upgraded to an X and Y colour selection wheel. Slide your fingers on the colour wheel and explore different colours to pinpoint the exact lighting shade you desire.
4. Smarter Halo Remote
Do you prefer using a remote to control your smart home? Control4’s new Halo and Halo Touch remotes provide complete control over audio, video, thermostats, colour-tunable lights, and more. These elegant remotes feature an HD screen and hard buttons, and the Halo Touch includes touchscreen navigation. Within the same remote, you can turn on the TV, put on a show, and dim the lights. It doesn’t get any more convenient than that!
