A New Flagship Home Controller HC-300
Control4, the leader in affordable IP-based home control and entertainment systems, recently launched the Control4® Home Controller HC-300. Building upon the success of the best selling first-generation Home Theater Controller, the HC-300 sets the benchmark for whole-home automation products from both a cost and new feature perspective:
- HD on-screen output, significantly enhancing the visually intuitive Control4 graphic interface for controlling the home
- An entirely new industrial design with an anodized black aluminum chassis and a glossy black faceplate circled with warm metallic nickel accents
- Two serial ports (DB9) for increased flexibility in controlling serial-capable devices
- Increased processing capabilities for handling larger media databases and other processor intensive applications
- WiFi expansion capabilities via USB WiFi adapter accessory kit
- Backwards compatibility with all Control4 products
The HC-300 offers a comprehensive range of standards-based communication technology including Ethernet, WiFi, and ZigBee mesh networking and expansion through two standard USB 2.0 ports. In addition to managing the home theater, the Home Controller HC-300 is capable of controlling multi-room music, smart lighting, advanced temperature control, security, and many other home automation sub-systems.
The HC-300 is expected to ship in July with a list price of $699.
