Invision Support for Control4 Systems

Proactive monitoring, unlimited remote repair and 24/7 support for your Control4 smart home, often activated without anyone visiting your house.

Invision is Livewire's support plan for Control4 smart home systems. It monitors your system, fixes most faults remotely and gives you a technician on the phone 24/7. Plans run from $34.99 to $799.99 per month, and we may be able to activate the service remotely, with no truck roll. Full, Pro and Enterprise add proactive monitoring plus included one-hour service appointments.

Your Control4 system, at its best

Technology systems sometimes experience disruptions. With Livewire's Invision service you are protected from issues before they arise, through proactive monitoring, remote fixing and easy system reset, and our Invision service fully supports your Control4 smart home system.

Get the most out of your system and make sure it is protected. Depending on your system and setup, we may be able to activate the service remotely, with no truck roll and no onsite visit. A Control4 system is a considerable investment, and the difference between one that keeps working and one that quietly degrades is usually whether anybody is watching it.

Common Issues

The Control4 problems we clear without visiting

Most of what goes wrong with a smart home is not a hardware failure, it is a system that has lost its place. Those are exactly the faults that can be fixed down a wire, and remote repair is unlimited on every Invision plan.

  • A controller that needs a reset after a power event, which is the single most common call we take.
  • A device that has dropped off the network and needs rejoining, such as a thermostat, a lock or a keypad.
  • A room that has stopped responding while the rest of the house is fine.
  • An app that will not connect from outside the house, usually after a router or internet change.
  • Faults that follow an ISP swap, where the new router has quietly changed how the system reaches the outside world.
  • Firmware that has fallen behind, which we can bring current during a wellness visit on Pro and Enterprise.

Good To Know

Questions we get asked

Does Invision support my Control4 system?

Yes. Invision fully supports Control4 smart home systems, covering the controller, the connected devices on the network and the network itself. It is the same plan we put on other platforms, applied to Control4.

Is Control4 Assist the same as Invision?

No, they are separate. Control4 Assist is a Control4 subscription. Invision is Livewire's support plan, and it covers your whole system rather than the Control4 side alone. You can have one without the other, and if you are not sure what you are already paying for, ask us and we will check your account.

Do you need to come to my house to switch it on?

Often not. Depending on your system and setup, we may be able to activate it remotely, with no truck roll and no onsite visit. Where an onsite visit is needed we will tell you what is involved before booking anything.

What Control4 problems can you actually fix remotely?

Most of the everyday ones: a controller that needs a reset, a device that has dropped off the network, a room that has stopped responding, an app that will not connect, and faults that follow a router or internet change. Remote repair is unlimited on every plan, so there is no penalty for asking.

Do unused service appointments roll over?

No. Included one-hour service appointments are use them or lose them. A fresh appointment starts each period and any unused one expires at the end of it. Full receives one every six months, Pro and Enterprise one every quarter.

Which plan includes priority scheduling?

Priority scheduling starts at Pro. Pro and Enterprise members receive it, and Enterprise adds priority same-day scheduling. Express and Full do not include it.

Can you support a Control4 system Livewire did not install?

Talk to us. It depends on the equipment and whether it can reach our monitoring platform. We would rather work that out in a conversation than sign you up and discover the answer afterwards.

What is not covered?

We cannot monitor audio or video quality, because a media player can report itself online while the sound or picture is still wrong, and we cannot see inside individual apps, so a streaming service failing on a working controller is invisible to us. Tell us and we will fix it, we just will not spot it first.

Tell us what your Control4 system is running and we will tell you whether it can be activated without a visit.
