Don’t Be Left Behind In The Remote Control Revolution

There's a misconception that home automation solutions are only for the ultra-wealthy for use in their super-yachts and mega-mansions. While this may once have been the case, customised and tailored remote solutions are now within reach of everyone, and they're sure to make your life a whole lot easier.
At worst, your coffee table is probably a storage device for a plethora of remote controls, and at best, you're probably relying on so-called smart remotes and the often-unreliable CEC to control multiple devices. While they work, how often do you find yourself hitting the HELP button on a remote to try and get something to switch to the correct input or power state? Even so, with the announcement that Logitech has exited the remote control business, what does the future hold for those millions of ageing remotes?
Enter URC Automation, a brand you likely haven't heard of until now, but a global leader that has sold over 100 million remote controls in the last ten years alone.
URC's Total Control platform is a virtually limitless solution to control all devices across multiple rooms if desired, or simply a one-stop solution for your main living room. It's fuss-free, reliable, and the building block of a fully scalable home automation solution. Let's be clear; it's not a replacement for Logitech in that the end-user cannot program it. Your local expert does that, but it's also far more capable, and once programmed, URC will provide years of reliable service.
Right now, there's never been a better time to invest in URC Home Automation with an exceptional value introductory offer. The process is simple - fill out the form on the URC offer page, name your devices, and your installer will be in contact to understand how you use your home entertainment system. From there, it will be programmed and customised for you, and you'll either be visited by your local installer or guided on how to connect up your new URC system.
The introductory offer includes two packages. The URC AV Starter Pack 1 costs just $695 for the MRX-5 controller, app control via your smart devices, and professional programming for up to four supported devices. The URC AV Starter Pack 2 costs $1,295 and includes the MRX-5 controller, TRC-820 remote control, and professional programming for up to four supported devices.
Further customisation, programming of additional devices, and even additional remotes can all be added later. As your system changes or evolves, so too can your URC system with a quick call to your local programmer. Many changes can even be done remotely with no on-site visit required.
So don't be caught out when support for your existing 'smart' remote is suddenly discontinued, and embrace URC home automation for a future proof, tested and reliable remote solution for your home entertainment system.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
