Smart Home Technology
Do you buy Savant, Control4, Crestron, RTI, etc.? In this article and related video, we are discussing the merits of two of our popular models from URC. URC (stands for "universal remote control") has been in this business since the inception of universal remotes and we have programmed over a thousand of their solutions over the last 25 years. These two models are GOOD options in a GOOD>BETTER>BEST hierarchy and are wonderful and reliable options for someone that wants their audio/video systems such as TVs, surround sound systems, soundbars, whole-house audio and the like to just work with one button push. NOTE: If you want a solution that delves into smart home solutions and home automation such as smart lighting control, pool automation, automated shades, etc. you will want to choose a step-up solution such as our URC Total Control or RTI lines...<<< see links.
The main advantages of the URC MX990 universal remote vs the URC MX790 option are:
- The MX990 boasts a larger screen.
- The MX990 has better backlighting for nighttime use.
- The MX990 uses a rechargeable battery and a docking station (kind of like a cordless phone).
- The MX990 has customizable graphics which can make for a more intuitive layout, especially for guests and the tech-averse.
