Swap Your Light Switches for Smart Keypads That Can Do It All

One of our favorite things about home automation is the custom scenes we can activate anytime with a tap of a button. A ‘Dinner’ scene on your Control4 app, for instance, can automatically cue the lights to a cozy, warm setting, play your favorite evening playlist over in-wall speakers, and turn on the dining room ceiling fan.

But occasionally, it’s faster and more intuitive to quickly flip a switch on the wall than open a smartphone app. If you own a lighting control system, you can technically still use your light switches, but you won’t get all the benefits of the Control4 app.

That is, until you replace your light switches with Control4’s wireless keypads. With customized buttons and programmable settings, you can do much more than control the lights. Read on to discover the possibilities for your Wellington, FL home!
