Smart home automation for modern homes and buildings.
Orange Electric is a Control4 and Loxone dealer serving homeowners, property managers, and commercial clients with automation for lighting, shades, energy management, building control, and connected spaces.
The lifestyle layer
Control4 gives clients the polished interface for music, video, scenes, lighting, shades, touchscreens, remotes, and the everyday smart home experience.
The automation backbone
Loxone brings Austrian-engineered building automation for lighting, shading, climate, access, security, and energy management.
Control4 automation
Control4 is the polished, lifestyle-driven side of smart home automation. It brings lighting, shades, music, video, comfort, security, and scenes into one interface instead of forcing clients to jump between a pile of separate apps.
For high-end homes, Control4 shines when the experience matters: entertaining, media rooms, distributed audio, outdoor entertainment, lighting scenes, touchscreens, wall keypads, and simple app control. It is the system you choose when the home needs to feel effortless, refined, and easy for the whole family to use.
Control4 lighting and everyday scenes
Control4 lighting control can personalize individual rooms, groups of rooms, outdoor areas, or the entire home. Keypads, touchscreens, motion-triggered lighting, schedules, circadian-style lighting strategies, and scenes make the system feel intentional instead of complicated.
A well-designed Control4 system can create scenes like Dinner, Entertain, Movie, Away, Goodnight, or Morning — tying together lights, shades, locks, thermostats, music, and more from one clean control experience. Keypads can be designed as elegant room controls instead of wall clutter, with buttons that do far more than switch lights on and off.
Loxone automation
Loxone is the architectural, infrastructure-grade side of automation. Founded in Austria, Loxone brings a very European approach: elegant, efficient, deeply integrated, and engineered to make the building itself smarter.
The Loxone Miniserver acts as the central control system for the property, connecting lighting, shading, climate, access, security, audio, and energy management into one coordinated building automation platform. Unlike an A/V-first system, Loxone is hard-installed into the home or business infrastructure and becomes part of how the building operates.
European elegance, industrial strength
The best way to explain Loxone is not “another smart home gadget.” It is closer to a PLC-style automation brain for the building. That makes it a strong fit for projects where energy management, lighting automation, shading, climate, presence, access, and day-to-day automation should work quietly in the background.
Loxone is especially compelling for clients who want the building to respond automatically instead of constantly asking to be controlled. It can support comfort, security, energy efficiency, and lower-touch operation in a way that feels clean and architectural. For energy-focused properties, Loxone can coordinate loads such as EV charging, solar/PV, heating, cooling, appliances, and storage so the building uses energy more intelligently.
Best of both worlds: Loxone backbone with Control4 on top
Some of the strongest projects may use both systems together. Loxone can run the hardwired automation backbone of the home or business — lighting logic, energy management, shading, climate, access, and building-level automation — while Control4 layers on top for rich A/V, entertainment spaces, media control, touchscreens, remotes, and a polished user experience.
This approach lets each platform do what it does best. Loxone becomes part of the building infrastructure, quietly handling the automation engine in the background. Control4 becomes the beautiful lifestyle layer clients interact with for music, video, scenes, and entertainment.
Which system is right?
Control4 is often the better fit for A/V-heavy homes, entertainment spaces, media rooms, and clients who want a beautiful control interface around music, video, lighting, shades, and scenes.
Loxone is often the better fit for deep building automation, energy management, lighting automation, commercial/property infrastructure, and homes where automation should be hardwired into the building itself. In many premium projects, the answer may not be either/or — it may be a thoughtful blend. Orange Electric helps clients choose the right platform, or combination of platforms, based on how they want the property to live, perform, and feel.
