The cutest member of the Controller family is
the HC4. While he may be cute, this critter is a
real animal. Featuring all the Base and Pro App
capability of the other controllers, the HC4 is
ready to do whatever you need. Do you have an
installation that required 125 lighting loads, 8
thermostats, and a kick-butt home theater? The
HC4 can handle it. How about a vacation house
with a pool controller, an irrigation controller, a
security system and thermostats all connected
for monitoring and control from anywhere in the
world? The HC4 can handle that too! What about
the family room with a great media system and
simple lighting and the client wants the best hand
held remote in the world? Match an HC4 with an
HR2 and you’ve got that client covered.
The HC4 is a cost effective and wholly powerful
Controller. It connects to four RS-232 devices,
two relay controlled devices, includes two sensor
inputs, and has two IR outputs that can be
expanded to many more by using the IRD4 IR
connecting block. The HC4 also drives our award
winning OSD interface and provide one stream of
music from the internet and your clients NAS or
computer based music. It comes pre-loaded with
all Base Apps and is compatible with all Pro Apps
(see page 17.)
