Most of our technology is designed to be hidden. However, some are meant to be shown off! A touch panel combines the functions of light switches, volume controllers, audio keypads and many other devices. Simply walk up to the panel, touch the screen and the control is as simple as three steps. The design of our touch panels has been reworked many times over into the form it is today.
HomeSuite Global Touch Panels
Our touch panel interfaces use the logic that makes sense in controlling home electronic systems. There are three questions that will help guide you through the touch panel pages: 1.) What system do I want to control? 2.) Where do I want to control it? and 3.) What do I want to make it do? Electronic systems are only as useful as they are easy to use, and we feel that our touch panel interfaces are the best on the market. A global touch panel is an 8-inch or larger screen that will use your home’s floor plan as the basis of control. A global touch panel can be used to control any electronic system in any room of the home.
Homesuite Local Touch Panels
While global touch panels can be used to control the whole home, local touch panels are only used to control single rooms. Generally a local touch panel has a screen that is smaller than 8 inches. The size of the screen does not afford the use of a floor plan and therefore limits the amount of data that can be displayed. The smaller touch panels could be used for global control, but that would involve the use of list after list after list to get where you need. The purpose of touch panels is to facilitate easy control and using these panels for local control is the best way to accomplish that. A local touch panel combines the functions of light switches, audio key pads, thermostats, and more to give you complete control of your space.
