Introduction

Whether you're at home or away, stay in touch with your entire household with
the Control4 intercom system.

Send live video messages to the whole house, a single room, or a group of
rooms—remotely or from a touch screen.

Depending on your system,

• Answer the door for deliveries—while you're at home or way

• Check on children or elderly parents

• Call the family to dinner

• ...and much more.

In this guide, learn to send intercom messages, add smartphones to your
intercom system, adjust your call/answer settings, and create intercom groups
to send messages to several rooms at once (such as the main floor, kids' rooms,
and play areas).

Setting up your system

To begin using the Control4 intercom system, your home must have:

Using intercom with your
smartphone

If you want to use your smartphone with the Control4 Intercom system, you will
need:

• At least two intercom-enabled devices (examples below).

Using intercom with older
systems

If you do not need to integrate a smartphone with your Control4 intercom
system, your intercom system can use older devices, including:

• 7" In-Wall Touch Screens (audio only)

• 7" In-Wall Touch Screens with Camera (audio and video)

• 7" Portable Touch Screens with Camera (audio and video, local only),

• Control4 Door Station (audio only)

2

• A compatible smartphone (see below)

• An annual subscription to Control4 4Sight

• Compatible intercom-enabled devices.

• A Control4 account for each smartphone user you would like to add

A compatible smartphone

The Intercom Anywhere app works with both Android (v. 5.1 and newer) and iOS
devices (v. 10 and newer).

An annual 4Sight subscription

With a 4Sight subscription (about $10/month), you can use your smartphone
with your intercom system. 4Sight also lets you manage your own automations,
integrate with Amazon Alexa, and more. For more information about 4Sight,
speak with your dealer or see

customer.control4.com

.

Compatible intercom-enabled devices

Control4 intercom-enabled devices include Door Stations and Touch Screens:

Door Stations are installed next to an entrance and include a security camera,
two-way intercom, numbered keypad, and doorbell. With a Door Station,
screen visitors, answer a door remotely, and require visitors to enter a security
code upon arrival.

• If you have a DS2 or DS2 Mini or higher, answer the door remotely with
your smartphone*.

A Control4 Touch Screen is usually installed in the main rooms in your house
and is used to control your automated home.

• If you have a T3 Series Touch Screen or higher, you can make intercom
announcements and calls from your smartphone.

*Ask your dealer if the devices in your smarthome are compatible with the
Intercom Anywhere smartphone app.

A Control4 user profile for each smartphone

Before adding a smartphone to your intercom system, you must create a
secure user profile for each smartphone that will be added to Control4.

To create a new user profile,

1 Log in to your Control4 account at

customer.control4.com

.

2 Under Account, select Manage Users > Add > New User.

3 Enter a name, email, and password, and select any permissions you want

to grant to the user.

4 Under Activate, select This user is enabled and click Save to enable the

new user. An invitation will be emailed to the new user.

Make sure the invitation is accepted before installing the Intercom
Anywhere smartphone app.
