Control4 Smart Business Automation

Audio, video, lighting and climate coordination
The Control4 Smart Business Experience
Control4 uses a consistent interface to simplify common tasks across a property. A manager can start the day with the correct lighting, music and television sources, adjust rooms without hunting for remotes, and run a closing scene that reduces energy use and confirms key systems are secured.
Restaurants, Bars and Customer-Facing Spaces
Control4 is particularly practical where employees need straightforward control of televisions, distributed audio, lighting scenes and climate. Presets can reduce training time and help keep the customer experience consistent across shifts.
Professional Design and Programming
A reliable Control4 project depends on the network, equipment layout, driver compatibility and programming. Sentry designs new systems, upgrades existing systems and can assess projects left by another integrator. We document the rack and provide a sensible support path.
Control4 for Restaurants, Offices and Hospitality Spaces
Control4 Smart Business can provide a straightforward operating experience for small and midsize commercial environments. A manager can select music, route television sources, recall lighting scenes, adjust compatible shades and climate, or prepare the property for closing from an interface designed around the business.
Restaurants and sports bars benefit from faster source selection and consistent audio zones. Offices and executive suites can coordinate displays, music, lighting and environmental controls. Clubhouses, showrooms and boutique hospitality properties can use scheduled scenes to create a polished experience without requiring staff to manage separate apps.
A Commercial Control4 System Needs a Commercial Foundation
Reliable control depends on the network, power, rack, cooling, cabling and documentation behind it. Sentry designs those systems together, labels infrastructure and separates staff operation from administrative access. We can also coordinate restaurant and sports bar AV, Lutron commercial lighting and managed Wi-Fi.
