Who installs Control4 in Midtown Manhattan?
Nex AV designs, installs and programs Control4 systems across Midtown Manhattan, in Hudson Yards and Midtown West condo towers, Hell's Kitchen apartments, prewar co-ops in Murray Hill, Turtle Bay and Sutton Place, and Midtown offices. We connect Lutron lighting and shades, climate, music, TVs, cameras and locks to one Control4 app, prepare building paperwork, and start with a free site survey.
Our office is at 575 8th Avenue and 38th Street, in the Garment District. Hell's Kitchen, Hudson Yards and Times Square are a short walk, and Murray Hill is a quick crosstown trip.
Three Kinds of Midtown Control4 Project
Midtown packs brand-new towers, hundred-year-old co-ops and busy offices into a few square miles. Each needs a different Control4 plan.
Hudson Yards and Midtown West condos
Floor-to-ceiling glass, concrete ceilings and buildings with their own management rules and amenity systems.
- Control4 with Lutron shades for the big glass
- Equipment in a closet, controlled from one app
- Your system kept separate from the building's own
Murray Hill, Turtle Bay and Sutton Place
Plaster walls, classic layouts and co-op boards that expect paperwork before anyone drills.
- Wireless dimmers and keypads that leave plaster intact
- Wi-Fi planned for thick walls before devices go in
- Board documents prepared as part of the job
Midtown offices and conference rooms
Meeting rooms, executive offices and reception areas where everything has to work the first time.
- One touch panel for displays, lights and shades
- Music zones and schedules for reception areas
- Work scheduled after hours with your building
What Control4 Actually Does
Control4 doesn't replace your lights, TV or thermostat. It connects them, so they act together and you control them from one place.
- The brain
A Control4 controller in a closet or cabinet runs the whole system, with no box on display in your living room.
- The controls
The Control4 app, touch panels, handheld remotes and engraved keypads, all doing the same things.
- What it connects
Lutron lighting and shades, thermostats, TVs, music, cameras, door locks and intercoms.
- Voice
Add Josh.ai to say "movie time" or "goodnight" in plain English.

Which Control4 Setup Fits Your Midtown Space?

Plan Your Midtown Control4 System
Midtown Control4 Questions
Do you install Control4 in Midtown Manhattan?
Yes. Nex AV designs, installs and programs Control4 systems across Midtown, including Hudson Yards, Hell's Kitchen, Midtown West, Murray Hill, Turtle Bay and Sutton Place. Our office is at 575 8th Avenue and the site survey is free.
What does Control4 control?
Control4 connects lighting, motorized shades, climate, TVs, music, cameras, door locks and intercoms, so they work together from one app, touch panel, remote or keypad. Josh.ai can add plain-English voice control.
Can Control4 be installed in a co-op without opening walls?
In most apartments, yes. Wireless dimmers fit existing wall boxes, the controller sits in a closet, and most devices connect over the network. We prepare the board paperwork your building requires.
Can I control my Midtown apartment when I'm not there?
Yes. With remote access you can check and change lights, climate, locks and cameras from your phone, and away scenes keep the apartment looking lived-in. Leak sensors can alert you if something goes wrong.
Do you install Control4 in offices and conference rooms?
Yes. We set up touch panels that control displays, audio, lighting and shades in meeting rooms and executive offices, and we schedule the work after hours with your building.
How much does Control4 cost in Midtown?
A Control4 starter system for lighting and climate in a 2,000 to 3,000 square foot home typically runs $15,000 to $25,000, installed. Shades, music, theater and a professional network add to that, and every proposal is itemized after the survey.
Is Control4 better than Savant or Lutron on its own?
It depends on what you want to control. Control4 is strongest when you want many different devices working together. Lutron alone can be enough for lighting and shades. We recommend one after the survey.
