Cali Automation designs, installs and programs Control4 smart homes for Orange County homeowners, builders and designers, with certified Control4 programmers on our own team.
Authorized Control4 dealer. We handle the full project in house: system design, pre-wire, rack build, installation, Control4 programming and ongoing support with remote monitoring. Control4 is often the most cost-effective way to bring a whole home onto one app, one remote and a few keypads.
Control4 delivers lighting, music, video, climate and security on one platform at a lower cost than most comparable systems.
Control4 supports a very wide range of third-party TVs, receivers, thermostats, locks, cameras and pool controllers.
One app, a handheld Halo remote and engraved keypads make the system simple for guests, kids and grandparents.
Wireless lighting and wireless controllers let us add Control4 to finished homes without opening every wall.
One Control4 app, a Halo remote and a few keypads run the whole property:
The platform behind the app, touch screens and remotes, with scenes, schedules, notifications and remote access set up for your family.
The processors in the equipment rack that tie every system together, sized to the number of rooms and devices.
Wall and tabletop touch screens, plus Halo and Halo Touch handheld remotes that run media, lights and shades.
Keypads, dimmers and switches with custom engraving, plus Lutron lighting and shades when a project calls for them.
Multi-room music, video distribution and landscape audio, all controlled from the same app.
Professional networking, surveillance cameras and remote monitoring so we can often solve issues before you notice them.
Choose Control4 in our 3D smart home tour, turn rooms on or off and see every device your home would need.
Control4 is usually the right choice for mid-size homes, retrofits, and owners who want whole-home control without the cost of a fully custom system. It also scales well to larger homes with dozens of rooms.
For very large or highly custom estates, Crestron may be the better platform, and Savant suits owners who want an Apple-centered, app-first experience. Many Control4 homes pair it with Lutron lighting and shades. Because we are authorized for all of them, we recommend the platform that fits the home. Compare typical budgets in our smart home cost guide.
Your system is designed and programmed by our own certified team, not subcontracted. The people who build it are the people who support it.
We also deliver AV and control systems for commercial and government clients nationwide, and bring the same documentation and testing to every home.
We are authorized for Control4, and for its main competitors, so our recommendation is based on your home, not on the only brand we carry.
Every system starts with a professional network: firewall, managed switches, wireless access points and structured cabling.
We design, install and support Control4 systems across Orange County, including Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Dana Point, Costa Mesa, Irvine, Tustin, Mission Viejo, Ladera Ranch, Great Park, San Clemente, Santa Ana, Anaheim and Huntington Beach, and take on select projects throughout Southern California.

Control4 is usually the most cost-effective and works with the widest range of devices. Savant offers a polished, app-first experience, and Crestron fits large and complex homes that need the deepest customization. We are authorized for all three and recommend based on the home.
In many cases, yes. Control4 projects can be transferred between authorized dealers. We review the existing system, programming and equipment first and then recommend a support plan or upgrades.
