URC and SunBrite TV have announced an enhanced and expanded partnership that seamlessly integrates SunBrite TV’s latest outdoor displays with URC’s Total Control and High-Definition Audio (HDA) systems. This continued collaboration empowers homeowners to enjoy outdoor entertainment experiences with robust control and automation.
SunBrite TV is known for its purpose-built outdoor televisions, designed to deliver brilliant picture quality and durability in any outdoor environment, from bright patios to harsh weather conditions. This enhanced integration with URC’s Total Control and HDA systems ensures a unified outdoor entertainment experience, extending smart home automation to exterior living spaces.
This second round of new model integrations significantly improves the performance of SunBrite TVs within URC’s Total Control system. It encompasses the newest models, including the Solis Signature 3 series and the soon-to-launch Veranda 4 series. Leveraging the reliable webOS platform, this integration ensures that updates to one module automatically propagate to others, providing a consistently current and efficient system for dealers and end-users alike.
The advanced preparation for this launch means minimal effort for dealers once the module is added. The integration offers consistent control with other TV modules, ensuring a unified and intuitive user experience regardless of the television manufacturer. Macro integration allows SunBrite TVs to react dynamically to changes within the Total Control system, creating truly custom outdoor scenes for any occasion.
Combining these brands offers seamless, unified control and automation for homeowners and streamlined programming for URC-certified dealers. Benefits include:
- Unified Function – Users can use a single device through the Total Control system to control SunBrite TVs and a broader range of outdoor devices, interfaces, and sub-systems, minimizing the need for multiple remotes and controllers on the patio.
- Easy Voice/Hands-Free Control – URC’s voice commands allow simple operation, acting as a virtual remote to activate outdoor entertainment devices.
- Robust Scenes and Macro Integration – URC’s Total Control executes professionally programmed scenes and voice events, combining SunBrite TV’s advanced display solutions with other outdoor devices and sub-systems to create the perfect ambiance for outdoor movie nights, sports viewing, or casual gatherings. SunBrite TVs can react to Total Control system changes for dynamic automation.
- Remote, Secure URC Dealer Access – Within a secure environment, this integration allows dealers remote access (with end-user approval) to troubleshoot, monitor, or adjust the Total Control system and configure SunBrite TV integration.
- Simplified Dealer Workflow – With the reliable webOS platform, very little effort is required from dealers once the module is added, as updates to one module seamlessly apply to others.
With professional installation, Total Control allows this new integration to combine with customized scenes where multiple outdoor activities occur like lighting, climate control, and audio. This integration adds to URC’s user interfaces, such as touch screens, remotes, and in-wall keypads.
