Why Builders and Homeowners Alike Love TiO

Turn it On, or TiO for short, is a newer home control system that is completely smart device controlled. Whether by using your Apple or Android device or available four and seven-inch touchpanels, control is intuitive and simple. The unit is based around a powerful hub, controlling A/V, lighting and climate. For builders engaging in new construction or integrators looking to add a unintimidating control system, TiO might be the most intuitive, cost effective and user-friendly system out there.


One of the best aspects of TiO systems is that in most cases, existing multi-zone audio wiring doesn't need to be gutted and replaced. In fact TiO amplified wall boxes (called StealthStream) operate using existing four-conductor wiring for signal transmission. By removing an existing volume knob and sliding in the StealthStream device, TiO amplification is now enabled. Optionally, connections can be made via analog outputs to an existing, bigger and better amp, a subwoofer or optically into a home theater preamp or receiver. These amazing devices have your favorite streaming audio sources inside, along with easy access to your iTunes collection via AirPlay. And yes, the StealthStream boxes support hi-res sources such as Tidal, meaning audiophiles in the family won't be left out.

StealthStream devices are versatile entertainment marvels.


Turn it On systems control lighting as standalone, or via programmed "moods" that are enabled with one touch. The MTL4 and TL4 are load-agnostic keypads that operate regardless of the lighting scheme in a residence or business. Of course, climate control changes as part of an overarching mood configuration is possible, in addition to the fine control enabled when using a touch-enabled device in the system. These keypads are convenient means to changing the environment with one touch, without the need to tote a phone or tablet with you at all times. Of course, like all TiO devices, these retrofit into existing keypad locations, and come in a 220v iteration for international markets (MTL4) or conventional rectangular (TL4) configuration.

The TouchLite 4 keypad is modern, simple and powerful.


                     
For integrators and builders that are seeking a turnkey, virtually-futureproof home control system using devices almost every homeowner is familiar with, TiO systems are the answer. No expensive training for installers is required unlike conventional, more-complex control schemes. And while those systems are surely more powerful and have their place, in those situations where simplicity and scalability is required, TiO is a fantastic option. This overview just touches on what is possible with a TiO installation. Contact River City Sales today to set up a demo to see just how intuitive this system can be!
