Control4 CA-1 Automation Controller

As more homes become smart, it can become harder to keep track of all the pieces to the puzzle—the thermostats, smart locks, lights and cameras. Control4’s CA-1 Automation Controller combines management of all of them into one device. Tailored specifically for smart home projects that desire lighting, comfort and security, the CA-1 includes Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Zigbee and serial communication, leveraging a database of thousands of third-party devices to ensure easy integration and interoperability.

An optional Z-Wave module enables the CA-1 to be compatible with a selected set of Z-Wave control devices including door, window, water, flood and temperature sensors, electrical outlets and dimmer outlet modules. The CA-1 also features Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) so it can be installed virtually anywhere with a single network cable. The CA-1 can handle more than 100 smart devices, and it can be run from a smartphone or tablet.
