iPad has become the favourite device for automation control, and for good reason: iPad Apps have the ability to provide a feature-rich, customized and intuitive interface for the user. But even an iPad app can sometimes be cumbersome to operate an automation system because of the need to “wake it up”, navigate to the control App and find the control.
Hard buttons, on the other hand, provide immediate access to key controls. But hard buttons exist on a wall, and in most cases are not right next to the user. We thought, if we could give iPad buttons that functioned independent of iPad itself, we would deliver the best of both worlds: immediate and continuous access to key controls and the richness of Apps; and app you want, at any time.
We did just that: say hello to LaunchPort with Buttons, the world’s first programmable, independently functioning buttons on an iPad case.
HOW IT WORKS
By utilizing the power of Lutron’s Industry proven Clear Connect wireless technology, LaunchPort Sleeve Buttons communicate independently to any Lutron RadioRA 2, HomeWorks QS or Caseta router/bridge. Once paired with the Lutron network device, Sleeve Buttons can control a variety of Lutron systems or even control whole home automation systems like Savant and RTI. The power is in your hands.
PLEASE NOTE: Sleeve Buttons are supplied without the Main Sleeve (AM.2) which is sold separately. AM.2 Sleeve is required for use with Sleeve Buttons.
PLEASE NOTE: If integrating with AMX the minimum firmware on the NXB-CCG should be v2.2.2.
