Streaming Platform
Roku
Simple, reliable streaming for guest rooms, secondary TVs, and budget-conscious applications
Roku in a Smart Home Context
Roku isn't our primary recommendation for main living spaces — for that, Apple TV or a Kaleidescape makes more sense depending on the project. But Roku is what we use in guest rooms, secondary bedrooms, and any application where the goal is reliable streaming without a dedicated media source in the rack.
The Roku Ultra integrates with Control4 through IP control, so it can be part of your automation system — source switching, volume control, and basic playback commands through your main app. For a guest bedroom where you want a clean, reliable streaming experience that doesn't require a houseguest to understand your automation system, Roku is exactly right.
