Home automation and smart home technology are improving rapidly. Change is inevitable but also preferable, especially when we’re talking about upgrading. That requires constant learning, training and staying up to date with the newest technologies. Therefore, our Smart Touch showroom in Osijek recently got upgraded to the Control 4 CORE 5 Controller.
In this post you will get a brief review of the Core 5 data sheet.
“CORE 5 delivers the ultimate experience for intelligent automation deployments, whether residential or commercial, featuring the highest-quality audio and the processing power to coordinate hundreds of smart/connected devices.”
