Geared toward redefining the user’s experience, the HR40 offers personalization and access to more functions compared to a traditional remote. With its 3.1” high resolution touchscreen, the full-fledged control interface allows users to answer video doorbells, view surveillance cameras, and communicate with other interfaces using intercom. Wirelessly configured, the HR40 integrates with Nice/ELAN system controllers, and    dealers can customize the remote to fit the needs of each system. With swipe, scroll and touch controls, the HR40 provides an unparalleled experience allowing users to control and personalize favorites for control of media, lighting, climate, security, surveillance, and more.

Nice DC12-IP Smart DC Power Manager

Nice/Panamax power protection and performance solutions have been trusted by home technology integrators and consumers for more than four decades. The DC12-IP Smart DC Power Manager from Nice  is a smart, compact, power management and protection solution. The Power Manager offers advanced surge protection, power sequencing, and IP control. BlueBOLT^®-enabled, the DC12-IP offers cloud-based monitoring, remote control and programming of devices, and seamlessly integrates with the Nice/ELAN control system so users can easily manage their power via any user interface. With record high residential electricity prices, users are in need of smart home systems that help simplify, reduce and manage their energy consumption. It also allows you to eliminate the bulky external DC power supplies that can be unreliable, create clutter in the rack and cover other open outlets on AC power distribution units. In addition to its space-saving design, features include provision for remote power and energy management and scheduled on/off commands to reduce excess energy consumption.

Nice is bringing together 30 years of industry-leading innovation to create One Home, One Solution, for safer and smarter homes. Since its acquisition of Nortek Control in 2021, Nice is converging the ELAN, SpeakerCraft, and Panamax brands by 2023 to offer the most complete, integrated product ecosystem in the industry for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
