Customers get a new means of controlling BitWise-connected devices-- the Room Remote, a traditional-looking handheld RF remote complete with keys for common audio and visual functions.
It connects with BitWise controllers via RF base station, meaning it does not require line-of-site.
An intuitive design allows the control of rooms through both the remote and BitWise apps, with the remote and apps staying in sync during use-- the system automatically transfers selections made via control app to the remote and vice versa.
Installers can add a Room Remote and RF receiver to any BitWise controller, and multiple remotes can communicate with a single receiver. BitWise says one can incorporate up to 255 remotes in an installation, making it a scalable option for commercial products.
The Room Remote will make an official debute at the September CEDIA Expo 2013.
