Control

 

A typical audio/visual system can consist of a TV, PVR (Personal Video Recorder), Receiver, Foxtel/Tivo, Blu ray player, Gaming Console and a CD player. All have their own remotes, and in the majority of cases confusion reigns supreme.

One of the fastest product growing categories for Len Wallis Audio is control – the ability to integrate and control all of the above and more in an orderly fashion from a single hand-held or wall mounted device.

To do this you need two things. A learning remote which has proven to be reliable (you may be surprised at how rare this is) and the ability to design a program which is intuitive in its use so that even the least technically proficient of our clients can understand and use it. In the majority of cases the difference between a good and bad control system is the programming. Len Wallis Audio has a number of people who are proficient in this art, with two staff members working in this field full time.

Control can also extend beyond the Audio/Visual system used in the example above. We can also integrate the control of lights, blinds, air conditioning, security, access, external water features, etc. into any quality control system.

 We carry two brands of control:

   1)      RTI

RTI learning remotes are simple to use, reliable and yet powerful enough to control all but the most complex of systems. They can control the Home Theatre, whole house audio, lighting, HVAC, drapes or security. They manufacture the most advanced range of both hand-held and in-wall controllers along with powerful system processors.

RTI controls are, in their basic form, all IR (Infra-red) remotes, requiring line-of-sight with the equipment they are controlling to operate. However it is possible with the addition of an RF extender kit to convert these to RF (Radio Frequency) controllers. This will allow you to use them in situations where you do not have line-of-sight, particularly advantageous if your equipment is hidden away in a cabinet.

2)      Crestron

Crestron is the king of control. Crestron can provide you with a high-quality Home Theatre controller, or automate your entire home. We have a long association with Crestron, based on the knowledge that this is a bullet-proof solution. It is imperative that any product used in an automation system be solid and reliable, and Crestron has proven to be just that.

 

Suggested packages

Following are some of our more popular control options.

RTI T1-BBack to top

The RTI T1-B is the most basic learning remote that we carry, yet it can be custom programmed to control almost any aspect of the home. Buttons can be individually programmed to control devices or execute multi-step macros for complex installations involving many components. Source buttons can be custom labeled to match the device being controlled for more intuitive control. The integrated tilt switch, coupled with a Lithium-ion battery and charging dock ensure hours of uninterupted control. When other RTI devices are employed, the T1-B is capable of RF transmission through walls and cabinets, RS-232 control, contact closures, power sensing and much more. Whether used as a standalone device or integrated into a complete RTI control solution, the T1-B will provide powerful and intuitive control of any electronics system - from simple to sophisticated. NOTE: For RF control, a 433MHz antenna must be used with this model of remote. It is not compatible with the ZM-24 2.4 GHz Transceiver Module.

Sleek and perfectly balanced, the T2-C is also infinitely flexible and expandable. The T2-C takes complete control of the home theater, replacing all other remotes. It features a bright, high-contrast TFT LCD that can display custom buttons, text, graphics and animations. In addition to the backlit display, there are 35 hard buttons that allow easy access to frequently used functions. The T2-C is more than just a universal remote control - it's an expandable control system. When used with the available RTI accessory devices, the T2-C is capable of RF transmission through walls and cabinets, power sensing for reliable operation, and RS-232 communications for advanced control.
