We had a great time this year at Cedia 2017 held in beautiful San Diego California. Our staff members attended multiple classes and researched new and exciting products.
We attended the Control4 Keynote speech and learned about some pretty exciting news. For Control4 customers with on-wall/in-wall touchscreens, table top touchpanels, and doorstations, a new Beta intercom app has been released. Previously you could only use the intercom panel to panel, or panel to all panels. The new Beta app gives you the ability to call from the app remotely to a touchpanel in your home. Perfect as another way to contact your family or guests if you are not able to reach them on their cell phone. For those with doorstations you can now answer the door station via your iOS or android phone. While on an intercom call users can activate other smart home features such as turning on a light, unlocking or locking a door without leaving the app.
**must have 4Sight for these features to work**
