MELVILLE, N.Y., July 8, 2026 – ADI today announced the international rollout of Control4® X4 and optional Control4® Connect across US, Canada, EMEA, APAC and LATAM, introducing a redesigned user experience paired with a new service framework that together define the future of the Control4 platform. As global customer expectations continue to evolve, Control4 X4 and Connect are built to give partners a clear competitive edge by combining a modern user experience with a secure, future-ready platform built for long-term growth. Control4 X4 with optional Control4 Connect will now be available for new and existing Control4 systems internationally.
The modernized, visually refined interface of X4 is designed to deliver the user experience today’s customers expect—helping partners stand out in a market where design and usability increasingly influence buying decisions. New customer empowerment features, including Routines and Widgets, allow end users to make simple, everyday adjustments without repeated service calls, easing friction in the partner-customer relationship while freeing partners to focus on high-value system design and advanced configurations. While Control4 Connect is designed to provide a secure, continuously updated service layer, ongoing enhancements and seamless updates help ensure long-term performance, integration readiness and customer value.
“For the EMEA market, this announcement represents a significant step forward for both our partners and their customers,” said Eric Fritz, Sr. Director Product Management at ADI. “Across the region, we’re seeing rising expectations around design, usability and long-term system value, and Control4 X4 and Control4 Connect directly address those demands. Together, they give our partners a more competitive platform—one that elevates the customer experience, reduces friction after installation and creates a stronger foundation for secure, future-ready smart living and commercial projects.”
Control4 X4 introduces a refreshed, contemporary design with a cleaner visual language, faster navigation and an upgraded home screen that presents the most relevant controls at a glance. The interface responds directly to rising expectations from users across both residential and commercial environments, who increasingly compare control interfaces with the polished digital experiences they encounter throughout consumer technology.
Control4 Connect is equally transformative. As the optional service framework for new systems, Connect ensures that every Control4 installation remains secure, up to date and compatible with the expanding ecosystem of devices and services. It underpins premium features such as remote access, system insights, Intercom Anywhere and voice control through Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant. By shifting system upkeep and security updates into a predictable service model, Connect strengthens long-term reliability and establishes a foundation on which future features can be delivered consistently and without disruption.
For customers seeking even more capability, the optional premium tier of Control4 Connect introduces deeper personalization and convenience through curated Routines, expanded Apple ecosystem integration — including Apple Music, AirPlay 2 and HomeKit — and ongoing feature enhancements delivered directly to the system. This helps create a clearer pathway for customers to grow their system over time while opening new recurring revenue opportunities for partners.
Together, X4 and Connect represent a unified step forward: a redesigned interface that feels current and compelling, paired with a platform architecture that is designed to stay secure, evolve continuously and support new integrations as the market advances. This combination helps reduce everyday friction for customers and partners alike — simplifying post-install changes, minimizing maintenance complexity and ensuring long-term system viability.
Partners across all regions have already been preparing through an Early Access program, hands-on evaluations, and training that enable confident demonstrations and smoother deployment from launch.
“X4 and Connect introduce a new era for the Control4 platform,” concluded Fritz. “X4 modernizes the user interface in a way customers immediately appreciate, while Connect ensures every system stays secure, current and ready for what comes next. Together they deliver a powerful combination of elevated experience and long-term value for partners and end users alike.”
