By adding Control4 brains to its new ES receivers, Sony brings home automation to a wider audience.
The main Control4 interface, showing all the areas you can control given the right equipment. At the demo at CEDIA, they controlled shades, lighting, AV, and an electronic lock via a regular-looking Sony remote (albeit with specific Control4 buttons). There's also tablet apps.
The basic interface's modes.
One of the subscreens, showing the electronic locking. You can have locks unlock or lock at specific times. The system can text or e-mail you when someone unlocks a door, or if someone doesn't unlock the door by a certain time.
The basic user interface for the 2800 and 5800. If you don't opt for the $300 license fee, you get this interface. You can still control you AV gear and some lighting.
The Control4/Sony remote. A more basic version ships with the receiver. There are also smartphone and tablet apps, which look pretty slick.
