2 Smart System Controller HC-300 – Linux-based central brain for the home Monitors and manages energy use of the smart home – Lighting – HVAC – Window coverings – Irrigation system Enables easy entertainment – Multi room music – One touch Home Theater Coordinates security – IP Camera – Security

3 The Cost of Lighting Household lighting accounts for 12-15% of our household utility bill – Source: American Lighting Association Estimates suggest 20% of all electricity produced in the United States is used for lighting but 50% is wasted by inefficient lighting sources or careless consumers – Source: Energy Conservation Enhancement Project at LSU (Louisiana State University) Further savings can be realized by controlling the amount wattage used by light bulbs Installing smart lighting and smart thermostats: – Conserve electricity and save energy costs – Extend the life of light bulbs – Reduce Waste

4 Dimming Saves Energy and Extends Bulb Life Dimming the light this much Saves electricityExtends bulb life 10% 2 times longer 25%20%4 times longer 50%40%20 times longer 75%60%More than 20 times longer Source: The Energy Conservation Enhancement Project at LSU

5 Average US Energy Costs

6 Control4 Smart Lighting Saves Energy Automatically turn off lights – Astronomical timers – Motion-based Automatically set lighting levels – Time-of-Day maximum level-setting – Ambient light – Preset dimming Control4 Smart Lighting can saves up to 58% (?) per controlled load

7 How Does a Control4 Dimmer Save Energy? First, advanced circuitry in each dimmer can manage cycle to the lights 120 times per second – too fast for the human eye to notice but a very real saving At Full Power At Half Power Second, each dimmer has a ZigBee radio and can be programmed to come on and turn off only when needed as part of whole home automation system

8 Control4 Green House Gas Savings Sources: http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=energy_awareness.bus_energy_use#conversions; http://www.epa.gov/otaq/climate/420f05004.htm http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=energy_awareness.bus_energy_use#conversions http://www.epa.gov/otaq/climate/420f05004.htm Installing 25 Control4 automated dimmable lights with 15% set backs, basic timers and occupancy sensors Homeowners could offset equivalent of over 1,000 miles of driving

9 Smart, Programmable Thermostats Save Control4 Thermostats Can Reduce Cost up to 33% – Programmable Set Backs Allow can Save Up to $150 per Year * – Sensors and Remote Access Reduce Unnecessary Operation Sources: http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=thermostats.pr_thermostats http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=thermostats.pr_thermostats

10 Control4 Automation Does More Than Save Save Money – Use Lights Only When Needed – Replace Bulb Replacement – Automatically Turns Audio Video Devices Off Reduce Green House Gases – Reduces Energy and Greenhouse Emissions Increased Security – Schedule Lightings to Automatically Turn on at Night – Motion Based Sensing Added Convenience – Remote Monitoring and Control – Never Worry About Leaving the HVAC, Lighting or AV on Accidentally

11 HVAC Control No Low Voltage Control Wires or Conduit Thermostat – Powers off of 4.7 to 24VAC or DC or 3V battery (parasitic power off HVAC system) – Standard HVAC Wiring Topology (can use either 4 or 5 conductor wires) – Large Back Lit LCD Display – Single and dual stage systems – Dual heat and cool – Conventional and heat pumps – Radiant Heat Compatible – Electric and gas

12 Lighting Solutions No Low Voltage Control Wires or Conduit 1000 Watt Dimmer, Switch – Dual RGB LED’s – Decora White, Almond & Black – Dimmer - Auto switched leg sensing – Patent Pending (84% load if neutral wire not in the box) – Compatible with Most Loads Incandescent Florescent with right ballast Halogens Magnetic and Electronic Low Voltage Except reverse phase – Available in White, Almond, Black

13 Keypads – Save Money with Lighting Scenes No Low Voltage Control Wires or Conduit 3 Button Keypads – Tri-color LED’s – Lighting Scene or Service Interface – Powered via 120 VAC or Low Voltage – Available in White, Almond & Black – Custom Engraving Available

14 Keypad Controls – Drapes and Expanded Control No Low Voltage Control Wires or Conduit 6 Button Keypads – Tri-color LED’s – ZigBee – Retrofits with 120 VAC – Available in White, Almond & Black – Custom engraving - additional charge

15 Appliance Outlet Control No Low Voltage Control Wires or Conduit Appliance Outlet Switch – Dual outlets (800 watts total) can be programmed independent of each other – Outlet Switch Outlets can be used as power current sensing or as simple relays (or combination of both) – Connects to conventional outlets Perfect for lamps and other remote loads

16 Dimming Outlet Control No Low Voltage Control Wires or Conduit Lamp Outlet Dimmer – Dual outlets (800 watts total) can be programmed independent of each other – Outlet Switch Outlets can be used as power current sensing or as simple relays (or combination of both) – Connects to conventional outlets Perfect for lamps and other remote loads

17 Wireless Contact & Relay No Low Voltage Control Wires or Conduit Battery Operated Contact Sensor – Send Message when Battery Level is Low – Interfaces with Any Dry Contacts Low Voltage Remote Relay – Ideal for Drape or Screen Interface

18 Wireless Motion & Light Sensor No Low Voltage Control Wires or Conduit Battery Operated Motion Sensor – Send Message when Battery Level is Low – Ideal Device for Title 24 and LEED Light Sensor – Set Lighting Levels Based on Ambient Light Levels
