Control4 Core 1, Core 3 & Core 5 support in the Poconos

The Core 1, Core 3, and Core 5 are Control4's current controllers. If your system is built on one, the hardware is not the problem: anything wrong is programming, drivers, the network, or the account the system is registered to. Core controllers are also what we install when we replace an older HC or EA controller.

How to tell

You probably have one if…

  • A controller labeled CORE 1, CORE 3, or CORE 5.
  • The system was installed or upgraded in 2021 or later.

What we see

What goes wrong.

  • Programming that was never finished when the house was built or sold.
  • The original dealer stopped answering, and the project is still in their account.
  • Remote access stopped working because the 4Sight subscription lapsed or belongs to someone else.

Your options

What we would do about it.

Take over support

Get the project into your name and a working account, so you are not dependent on whoever installed it.

Finish the programming

Builder installs often ship with default scenes and half the rooms unconfigured. We program around how the house is actually used.

Expand

A Core controller has room to grow. Add lighting, audio zones, shades, or cameras to the system you have.

Cost. A system assessment and takeover starts at $450. Most rescues land between $1,500 and $6,000; a full controller replacement with reprogramming runs higher. More on Control4

Questions

Control4 Core 1, Core 3 & Core 5 questions

Something not covered here? Call (267) 719-3598 and ask.

I bought a house with a Core 5 already installed. Can you get it into my name?

Yes. That is one of the most common calls we get from new owners, especially on second homes. We take over the project and set you up with your own account.

Why did my Control4 remote access stop working?

Remote access runs through a 4Sight subscription tied to the account the system is registered to. If it lapsed, or the account belongs to a previous owner or dealer, remote access stops. Getting the project into your name fixes it.

Do you service the Control4 Core 1, Core 3 & Core 5 in my area?

Yes. We are based in Pocono Pines and work on Control4 systems throughout the Poconos and Northeastern PA, including Pocono Pines, Lake Naomi, Lake Harmony, Lake Wallenpaupack, Hawley, Lake Ariel. Call (267) 719-3598 or book a walkthrough.
