Philips today introduced a significant upgrade to its award-winning Pronto home control system to allow two-way multi-room control in a mid-end touch-panel unit for the first time. The add-on, called ProntoScript, will initially be available for the Pronto TSU9600 model. The next release of the ProntoEdit Professional editing software, available in July as a free download from the Philips website, includes the ProntoScript tool that enables two-way communication with the Philips Pronto remote.
The increasing integration of home entertainment and automation systems, together with the advent of multi-room A/V servers that allow content to be shared throughout the house, has driven consumer demand to control and monitor diverse home systems from a single device.
The Philips Pronto TSU9600 control panel with ProntoScript provides a completely integrated two-way home control solution in an affordable, easy-to-use touch-panel. The unit can receive feedback from RS232- or IP-controlled devices in real-time, providing advanced two-way functionality beyond controlling home entertainment and automation systems. The Philips Pronto TSU9600 with ProntoScript allows the user, for example, to check whether the lights are currently on in a given room, consult temperature levels of HVAC systems, or quickly read volume levels for A/V devices - all from the screen of the control panel.
