They recently bought speaker manufacturer Triad, who's in-wall and in-ceiling speakers have been popular in home cinemas, especially in the USA. Control4 say of Triad:Triad loudspeakers deliver world-class audio performance into every room in the home - without compromise. From the finest Dolby Atmos home theater to high performance in-ceiling loudspeakers for rooms where a bulky speaker isn’t an option, Triad has superior sound for every room in your home.

They showed their range of touchscreens, room controllers, Switches, Dimmers, Keypads, Remotes and Networking/Routers.  For me their UI does appear dated now and I'm not keen on the lock down into one system approach that sees equipment get aged out quickly with no replacement.
