ELAN Home System manager of business development and product management Joe Lautner says the fully configured, ready-to-go g! Dealer Demo System will be offered to its certified dealer network at an extremely attractive price. The system includes a controller, 7” touch screen, 4” touch pad in a tabletop mount, the brand-new HR2 remote, an amplifier, 2 tabletop Sunfire speakers, a Panasonic IP camera, all the g! Pro Apps, and 5 viewer licenses to connect iPhones, iPads and computers. The system includes all the parts necessary to connect the gear and make it work. All the dealer needs to add is a television to demonstrate the On-Screen Display (OSD).

The g! Dealer Demo System arrives pre-configured in demo mode, so dealers will be able to play music, view and control the IP camera and demo all other system applications. The demo system can be easily transported to a customer home, a home show or anywhere a dealer wishes to demonstrate the powerful ELAN g! entertainment and control features. The system can also be used to run a showroom by connecting it to all the demo room’s systems.

The ELAN g! Series Home Control System provides users with the most uniform and intuitive, icon-based control from their favourite devices including TVs, touch screens, touch pads, PCs , iPhones, and iPads. The standardised interface works across platforms, so that the trendy g! Mobile app that users love on the iPhone appears and works similarly on ELAN touch screens, valets and hand-held remotes as well as users’ televisions and mobile devices. And the system’s IP backbone makes it just as easy to control the system from across the room – or across the globe.

Individual “apps” for each subsystem allow the user to control security, climate, lighting, media, irrigation, pool/spa, messaging, video and photos with the flick of a finger. Access is fast and secure through any ELAN home interface or globally with mobile Internet enabled devices like the iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Netbooks, and PC Tablets. Since the intuitive interface empowers users with personalised scheduling and detailed history views, high consumption subsystems like lighting and climate can be closely monitored and managed for a greener lifestyle – and substantial energy savings.

The system will be introduced at EHX Expo 2011 at Booth 1001 in Orlando, Florida from 17-19 March.
