User Reviews for Control4 for OS 3

Like Control 4, dislike slow load on IOS devices

Control4 does everything in my home. Lighting, pool, HVAC, security, audio, video, shades… I can’t for the life of me understand why the IOS app has to load all the Control4 settings EVERY TIME you run it. I can’t think of any other app that takes 10-15 seconds to load. Users have been complaining about this for years and I guess it is impossible for you to improve this functionality. This is the only negative about using Control4.

Good App but lack of Mac OS support annoying

I’ve been a Control4 user since 2017 and have generally been impressed with it. However, the lack of an App that works on MacBook Pros and other Mac computers is annoying and a surprising gap. When working on my computer, which I do a lot at home, it’s very annoying to have to pull out my phone or iPad in order to adjust something on C4. Really wish they would address this.Updated: It would also be nice if they would fix the Chime doorbell notifications so that they followed the iPhones usual notifications protocol, rather than coming in as a phone call which is super annoying.

Lack of MacOS support & Chime Notifications Annoying

I’ve been a Control4 user since 2017 and have generally been impressed with it. However, the lack of an App that works on MacBook Pros and other Mac computers is annoying and a surprising gap. When working on my computer, which I do a lot at home, it’s very annoying to have to pull out my phone or iPad in order to adjust something on C4. Really wish they would address this. Updated: The Chime doorbell notifications needs to obey the iPhones usual notifications protocol, rather than coming in as a phone call which is super annoying. We should be able to select through the standard notifications preferences how exactly we will be notified by Chime. While c4 could preserve the option to receive a phone call, this should not be forced on users.

Those loading times, come on!

Yes, it’s much more beautiful than previous one - and I like that - but the bar was so low with the prev version that you don’t really earn extra life points when giving us something that’s just meeting what’s seen as a standard today. Good app is not just about the beauty, it’s about actual experience - and man, i just CANNOT stand how this app every. single. time. loads what ever settings before i can start using it. It drives me crazy and don’t even ask my wife. Just fyi, I put good $80k to this setup and yes I’m starting to regret it. Seriously. It‘s not that hard. One single stupid “feature” ruins whole experience. Yes, it’s that bad.

Developers are slow to make improvements

My installer is fantastic and good at maintaining my system but the developers backend is slow for improvements. I wonder if they really test their own product sometimes prior to release. I upgraded to version 3 last summer with the understanding that all functionality was not up to par. I was fine with that but come on, some basic things like all of my rooms automatically set to mute when I open that room but it’s not muted should be obvious. I have to click to unmute to clear it while sound still plays, then when I click volume again it will mute. Symbology for custom buttons is poor and non existent after a long wait. Page up and down buttons way too small and needs to utilize more real estate to be useful. There are other needed improvements but I do not want to be completely negative. I’ve been a client for 8+ years and think the move to version 3 is the right upgrade and can see the potential with the UI and custom ability of the functions for homeowners is there and I know it will come. However for the cost I’ve paid over the years I’m expecting a more robust version patches and bug fixes than what I have seen to date.

Do the control for developers even read these reviews?

We have had the control for system for about a year and a half now, installed by a professional installer when we built our home theater. It was their recommendation, and of course we decided to go with it. However, I find the iPhone interface cocky at best, and like everyone else, we are super annoyed and having to log back in every time we task out of the app. I’ve seen literally hundreds of reviews here about that feature, so you would think the developers would actually do something… Ridiculous. Also, we have issues where the app hangs when we try to login, so we have to exit out reload exit out reload numeral times before we finally get the option to select our Apple TV and turn the system on. My kids won’t even bother with it, and just grab all the remotes to turn everything on which kind of defeats the purpose of spending the money on the control for system. The other issue we have, is random increasing the volume up to 100 without any way to control it… And whenever we shut the system down more often than not, the projector stays on and we have to manually turn it off.And I understand there isn’t even an app on the MacBook Pro to manage this.

Essential

I’ve had Control4 in my house for over 10 years, and honestly I’d hate to live without it. This new update makes life even easier and more convenient.The intercom feature is a favorite. I use it many times a day to communicate with my kids if they are in a different part of the house, and also when I’m out running errands I can check in with them even using the intercom since they don’t have cell phones. It’s great to be able broadcast throughout the house or call individual rooms. I like being able to see who is at my front door and to communicate with them without opening the door or even being at home. I love being able to turn all the lights off at the same time, or create different light scenes for waking up or at bedtime. Perhaps it makes me a bit lazier, but I prefer to say Control4 allows me to use my time more efficiently. Great job on this newest update.

Feels dated and slow

I love what control 4 has to offer in terms of lighting and control, but this app just feels so dated when compared to those of Josh and HomeKit. There is no overview of the house that gives you an overall picture of what is going on in the home at a glance. Using the HomeKit or Josh app, with just a glance of the home screen, I can see a ton of useful information, such as what lights are on, the status of shades, garages doors, alarm, etc, as well as cameras views all from one page, with quick controls to make changes to those devices. When I go into the control 4 app, I have to dig around to find out what lights are on, what each devices status is, it’s so clunky. I really feel it’s time for a fresh start, an all new app for the next chapter.

Control4 it’s totally substandard

I’ve lived in my home for approximately six months now. Nothing but problems with Control4. The whole system went out we could not turn her lights on or off, your intercom app does not work never rings through on any of our phones, we replaced the intercom system and still have problems, the thermostat system resets itself constantly or turns it self off. I had the option to use Savant or crestron. I’m over $100,000 invested in this garbage. Can’t even get a customer service person on the phone to follow through. I even went as far as to upgrade my C4 system. Total waste of money

Does Job, Could Be Nicer

The iPhone app does the job - controls everything fairly easily. My main frustration is each time you leave the app, maybe to pop over to email or texting for a moment, then come back, you have to wait while it reloads all the system settings again and then you have to navigate from the home screen back to where you left off. If you are using the app as a TV remote control, it’s a bit frustrating to have to wait and then make several clicks to get to the specific TV remote screen you need just to adjust volume or pause the show or whatever.
