Control4 Home Automation Design, Programming and Service

Regent5 is a certified Control4 dealer and installer and a licensed C10 and C7 contractor (CSLB 1033103) serving Northern California homes and estates. We design, install, program, document, upgrade, and service Control4 automation systems, coordinating lighting, shading, networking, security, audio video, climate-control interfaces, equipment rooms, and long-term estate support.

The Widest Device Catalog in Home Automation

Control4 integrates with thousands of third-party devices and works alongside equipment a home already has rather than requiring a full rip-and-replace. For phased renovations, additions, and houses with a mix of existing AV, security, and climate equipment, Control4's open catalog and modular EA-series controllers make it the more forgiving starting point. Lutron RadioRA and Ketra lighting can sit on the same Control4 system as thermostats, garage doors, pool equipment, and cameras from dozens of manufacturers.

Whole-Home Control, One Interface

Lighting, video and home theater, whole-home audio, climate, security, and outdoor entertainment on a single system. Controlled from the SR-260 handheld remote, T4 Series in-wall touchscreens, in-wall keypads, or the Control4 mobile app. Systems are programmed by a certified Control4 integrator through Composer Pro, not through consumer app settings, which is why the platform holds up in large, multi-zone houses where a DIY system starts to break down.

Residential and Smart Business Deployments

Full home automation, plus Control4 Smart Business systems for restaurants and bars, retail, fitness spaces, and workspaces that need centralized control over lighting, audio, video, and climate across multiple zones. Regent5 designs, programs, and services both.

System Design and Installation

Regent5 designs the EA controller and network architecture, runs and terminates the low-voltage cabling, and mounts and programs keypads, remotes, and touchscreens. We integrate Control4 with Lutron lighting control, Verkada or UniFi security, and AV equipment already in the home. Our own C10 electrical crew and C7 low-voltage crew work under one license, so panel work and control programming are coordinated rather than handed between separate contractors.

Dedicated Control4 Estate Service

A dedicated service team supports Control4 systems for homes and estates, coordinating programming, controllers, lighting and shading integrations, networking, security, audio video, climate-control interfaces, equipment racks, documentation, and long-term support. Regent5 can also evaluate existing Control4 systems based on the condition, programming access, documentation, and infrastructure available at the property.

For Architects, Builders, and New Construction

Control4's flexibility works both ways during a build: a Cat6 backbone, keypad and touchscreen locations, and a controller closet can be scoped and phased to match a construction budget without giving up whole-home control later. Regent5 provides CAD layouts and wiring schedules matched to the design phase and coordinates with the build so equipment closets and low-voltage pathways are ready before drywall. Holding both C10 and C7 licenses means one contractor is accountable for the full scope.

Where We Work

Regent5 installs and services Control4 systems across Atherton, Woodside, Portola Valley, San Francisco (including Pacific Heights, Sea Cliff, Presidio Heights, Noe Valley, and Russian Hill), Hillsborough, Los Altos Hills, and Palo Alto, with additional coverage in Menlo Park, Los Altos, Saratoga, Los Gatos, Tiburon and Belvedere, and Napa and Sonoma. Our San Carlos design center can walk architects and clients through a working Control4 interface alongside Lutron and Savant before a system is specified.

Everything the Control4 App Controls

One app, one login, one interface for the systems that used to need a different app each. This is the day-to-day reality of living in a Control4 home.

Entry and Video Intercom

Control4 integrates 2N, DoorBird, and other video door stations for two-way intercom, remote gate and door release, and instant alerts on the T4 touchscreen or app.

Door Locks and Garage Doors

Lock, unlock, and check the status of every door and the garage from the app or a keypad, and build them into arrival and departure automations.

Heating and Cooling

Native thermostat drivers, including the Aprilaire wireless thermostat, put every zone's climate in the same interface as lighting and AV, with automated presets by day and time.

Pool and Spa

Built-in pool and spa control handles heating, pumps, and lighting from the same Comfort screen as the rest of the house, so the hot tub can be warm before anyone gets home.

Energy, Solar, and EV Charging

Third-party energy monitoring integrations bring real-time grid, solar, and load data into the Control4 interface, and EV charging schedules can tie into the same automations as everything else.

Automated Scenes

A single voice command, keypad press, or app tap runs lighting, climate, entertainment, and security together, on a schedule or triggered by an event.

Voice Control

Works with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomePod for hands-free control of scenes and individual rooms.

Home Theater and TV

Full home theater control, including 4K/8K video processing and Dolby Atmos gear, from the T4 touchscreen, the SR-260 remote, or the app.

Taking Over a System We Didn't Install

Bought a house with an existing Control4 system and no login for it? Regent5 takes over service on Control4 systems regardless of who installed them, issues new user credentials, and walks new owners through the app, T4 touchscreen, and SR-260 remote so nothing already paid for goes unused.

Lighting and Shade Control

Lighting is one of the most common reasons people choose a platform like this. Control smart lighting and shades from the same interface as the rest of the house: Control4's own lighting line, Lutron RadioRA 3 and HomeWorks QSX, or Vantage InFusion lighting, all bindable into Control4 scenes, keypads, and the T4 touchscreen.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find a Control4 dealer near me?

Regent5 designs, installs, programs, upgrades, and services Control4 systems for Northern California homes and estates. For clients searching for a Control4 installer or programmer in their area, Regent5 serves the Peninsula, San Francisco, Marin, Wine Country, South Bay, Tri-Valley, and Monterey Peninsula.

What is the difference between a Control4 dealer, distributor, and integrator?

Control4 projects typically involve both product supply and system integration. The integrator is responsible for system design, programming, coordination, commissioning, and ongoing support. Regent5 provides that integration scope alongside licensed C10 electrical and C7 low-voltage work, structured wiring, networking, and long-term estate service.

Can I see a working Control4 system before I buy?

Yes. Regent5's San Carlos design center runs a working Control4 interface alongside Lutron and Savant, so architects, designers, and homeowners can compare platforms side by side before specifying a system. No cost to visit.

Does Control4 work with equipment I already own?

Usually, yes. Control4 integrates with thousands of third-party AV, lighting, security, and climate products, which is why it is often the better fit for a phased renovation or a home that already has a mix of equipment rather than a full replacement.

What if my Control4 remote or touchscreen stops responding?

Most SR-260 remote and T4 touchscreen issues are network or pairing related and get resolved remotely without a truck roll. If the issue is at the controller or a piece of hardware, we schedule an on-site visit. We service existing Control4 systems regardless of who installed them.

How fast can Regent5 service an existing Control4 system?

Most service requests start with remote triage: programming, network, and pairing issues on Control4 systems are often diagnosed and resolved without a truck roll. When the issue is at a controller, a piece of hardware, or the wiring, we schedule an on-site visit and review the system's documentation and network health as part of the call. Regent5 services existing Control4 systems regardless of who installed them, and ongoing support is available through Regent5 service plans.

Is Control4 or Savant better for my home?

Control4 is often the more flexible fit for phased projects, additions, and homes with a mix of existing third-party equipment, because of its wide device catalog. Savant is the stronger fit when whole-home backup power and energy management need to run on the same platform as the automation. Regent5 installs and services both and can recommend a platform based on the actual project.

Does Control4 work for a business, not just a home?

Yes. Control4 Smart Business systems handle restaurants and bars, retail, fitness spaces, and workspaces that need centralized lighting, audio, video, and climate control across multiple zones. Regent5 designs, programs, and services business deployments as well as residential ones.

We just bought a house with Control4 already installed. Can Regent5 take it over?

Yes. Regent5 services existing Control4 systems regardless of who installed them. We can issue new user credentials, update or repair the system, and provide homeowner training on the app, T4 touchscreen, and SR-260 remote so you can actually use what's already in the house.
