Your home should feel easy to live in, and that takes a team that stays with you from the first conversation to the last speaker. As a certified Control4 dealer serving Northern California, HB Innovations designs, installs, and programs your system so everything works together.

Custom scenes, beautifully finished keypads, and hands-free automation work together to make lighting control a must-have in your home.

    Centralized

    Clear the clutter of wall switches and open up your interior design options in a new build or a renovation. As your Control4 dealer, we replace individual switches around your home with elegant, discreet keypads.

    Wireless

    If you’re updating the lighting in an established home, such as a mid-century in East Sacramento, there’s no need to open walls for new cabling. Control4 wireless dimmers, switches, and keypads give you the control you want without the hassle or the mess.

    When >> Then Automation

    Fine-tune your lighting to follow the time of day, the seasons, and your routines. The When >> Then tool makes it easy to set conditions for your interior and exterior lights, like porch lights that come on at dusk or a gentle glow for early winter evenings in Lake Tahoe.

    The Control4 app puts your lighting in your pocket, inside and outside your home. Adjust it from across town in Rocklin, from the Bay Area for the weekend, or from the other side of the world.

      What Makes Control4 Different

      Unlike many smart home brands, Control4 works with over 25,000 third-party devices and ties together your lighting, audio, video, security, and climate technology. Its interfaces are sleek and user-friendly, and the automation possibilities run deep.

      With When >> Then, we can program your home so one thing triggers the next, like falling dominoes. For instance, when you turn on the TV at night, the lights in the room also adjust on their own for the perfect viewing conditions.

      Why Choose a Local Certified Control4 Dealer?

      A smart home is only as good as the team behind it. Based in Rocklin, HB Innovations is a certified Control4 dealer serving greater Sacramento and the rest of Northern California. We plan every piece of your system to work together, from the keypads on your walls to the app on your phone.

      Being local matters, because no two homes in Northern California are alike. Working locally means we know the homes, builders, and design teams you’re likely working with. Architects and designers are welcome to bring us in early, so keypad locations and wiring are planned alongside the rest of the project.

      If you’re planning a new build, a renovation, or a simple lighting upgrade, we’d love to hear about your home and show you what Control4 can do for it.

      Common Questions About Working With a Control4 Dealer in California

      How much does a Control4 system cost?

      It depends on your home’s size, how many rooms you want to control, and whether you’re starting with lighting or going whole home. The biggest cost drivers are the number of lighting loads, the audio and video in each space, and whether it’s new construction or a retrofit. After a consultation, we’ll scope a system around your goals and give you a clear plan before any work begins.

      Will Control4 work with the devices I already own?

      Very likely. Control4 works with over 25,000 third-party devices, so many of the lights, TVs, speakers, and other products you already own can become part of one system. We check compatibility during your consultation and let you know if anything would work better as a swap.

      Can my existing Control4 system be upgraded to OS 3?

      Often, yes, but it depends on the age of your controller and the devices connected to it. We start by reviewing what’s in your home today, then tell you what can be updated as is and what would need replacing. You’ll know where you stand before you commit to anything.

      Do I have to automate my whole home at once?

      No. Many homeowners start with lighting control or one or two rooms and add shades, audio, video, or networking over time. We plan your system so the first phase fits into the bigger picture, which means you can grow it without starting over.

      Can you work with my architect, interior designer, or builder?

      Yes. Technology goes in much more smoothly when it’s planned alongside the rest of the project. We’re glad to coordinate with your architect, designer, or builder so keypad locations, wiring, and equipment fit your design from the start, whether you’re building new or renovating.

      Areas We Serve

      We bring Control4 to homes across Northern California, where the climate and the style of home change from one community to the next. In Sacramento, hot summers call for lighting and shading plans that handle long afternoon sun. Up in Lake Tahoe and Truckee, second homes should feel simple the moment you walk in, even after weeks away. We also serve homes in San Francisco and across the Bay Area.

      In Napa and St. Helena, wine country homes are made for hosting. That means lighting scenes for long dinners, outdoor audio for the patio, and shading that keeps the afternoon sun off the view without shutting it out. Wherever your home sits, the approach stays the same: a system designed around your space and your routines.
