Smart Home at Sea: Discover the Possibilities in Marine Automation

Set Sail with Smart Control of Your Boat 

A day at sea should be a luxurious escape. So if you’re on your yacht for hours, days, or even weeks, you need technology that’s easy to use and understand for everyone on board. You need a system that just works for everything from lighting to audio to security. 

Luckily, smart systems like Control4 aren’t limited to home control. We can integrate your boat’s technology into one intuitively-controlled marine automation system. And if you already own a Control4 smart home system, your boat can be accessed from the same app and interface!

Marine automation simplifies life on the water, making your boat much easier to manage. What does it do? Read on to see how smart technology can benefit your yacht, superyacht, or sports cruiser in Lighthouse Point, FL!

One System for Simple Control 

With a Control4 system, you can intelligently manage your boat just as intuitively as you would in a smart home. You won’t need to fiddle with several remotes or different apps to change the lights or play music. It’s all under one umbrella, controlled from the same platform. 

Entertainment on Command 

What if your summer playlist could surround you while dining on the top deck? And after, you watch a movie under the stars with a glass of wine?

On your Control4 system, you can automate and access speakers, screens, and media with one tap of your phone or tablet. Without Wi-Fi, a media storage system can provide all your downloaded music and movies to enjoy anytime. We can also install a satellite communication system, so you can access the internet for streaming on board.

Smart Lighting & Shading 

Imagine waking to a glittering sunrise over the Atlantic. How’s that for a wake-up alarm? Motorized shades can be programmed to open automatically at a set time, or you can open them with a tap on a custom wall keypad. Motorized shades and blinds help keep heat out, too, with sunlight sensors telling window treatments when to lower. 

At night, you can adjust the color and brightness of your yacht’s lights through the Control4 app. Above-water and underwater lights set the mood for an evening at sea. And if you accidentally left a light on after docking the boat? Turn it off with a tap on your phone, even from miles away. 

Peace of Mind Back Ashore 

Once you’ve docked the boat in the marina and head home, you want to know that the boat is protected against intruders. After all, your boat is your second home. We can integrate sensors, cameras, and alarms to instantly notify you if anything suspicious occurs. On your Control4 system, you can arm alarms in one command and check live surveillance footage in the same app.
