Crestron TPMC-3SMD

The new model expands on the popular TPMC-4SM line by offering a discreet, stylish and affordable solution that is designed to fit into a single gang wall box. This sleekly-designed device enables users the convenience of one-touch control for lights, HVAC, all AV sources and security without obscuring home decor.

For homeowners, the integrated home technology experience has never been this simple or impressive. Crestron’s scaled-down design fills the void between pushbutton keypads and in-wall touch screens, which, together with simple installation that is clean and hassle free, extends the benefits to both integrators and end users alike.

“The comfort of adjusting room temperatures and accessing all home technology by one touch is now more accessible, seamless and affordable than ever”, says Robin van Meeuwen VP of Sales and Marketing Crestron International.

The TPMC-3SMD includes customisable touch screen graphics and icons for controlling lights, temperature, home theatre, multi-room audio, security, iTunes® libraries as well as everything else you could possibly need to stay in control of your home. Built-in streaming video lets you monitor security cameras and see what's playing on your Blu-ray player, media server or TV. Browse through playlists and internet radio stations while viewing cover art and song information.

Additional pushbuttons allow the end user to easily adjust audio volume, scroll through movie titles and TV channels plus set the temperature and lighting levels in every room. Two backlit hard-key buttons may be assigned to access a choice of control pages on the touch screen or to control audio/video system power and room lighting with a single press.

An Ethernet connection from your home network is all that's needed to wire the model. Power over Ethernet (PoE) removes the need for a local power supply or any dedicated power wiring, which allows greater mounting flexibility in both new builds and retrofits.

"The new 3SMD line gives homeowners, architects and interior designers the best of both worlds," says Robin van Meeuwen. "It collates our most powerful touch screen control capabilities into a compact, sleek device that's the smallest to date. People will be amazed at what this little device can do."
