Your home’s audio/video system, as well as any integrated home automation, is only as easy to control as the type of remote you use. What makes a remote control ideal and easy to use is different for everyone which is why there are so many options from which to choose. When it comes to the highest quality remotes for homeowners, there are two options that offer superior design and intuitive controls: Control4 Halo and Control4 Halo Touch.
Control4 has been an industry leader and innovator of home technology products, particularly, remote controls. Though Control4 has produced many excellent remote controls, the introduction of the Halo and Halo Touch remotes offers homeowners a level of customizability and intuitive controls that transforms the home control experience.
These remotes feature dynamic access to dual voice assistants at the touch of a single button. The interface is modernized with more intuitive controls which makes controlling various aspects of integrated home automation far simpler. Although both remotes are both excellent, there are differences between the Halo and Halo Touch remotes, which we explore below.
Both the Halo and Halo Touch have a combination of backlit buttons and a full-color LCD screen. However, the user experience between the two is somewhat different. First, the Halo remote features a 2.8’’ non-touch LCD screen – the LCD screen is navigable using the backlit buttons. The Halo Touch features a larger 3.2’’ LCD screen and offers a touch interface which some users may find easier or more intuitive to use as it is more similar to navigating modern touch-screen technologies like smartphones and tablets. To compare both models and determine which is best for your home and needs, speak to an experienced home technology installer that can answer your questions and assist you in finding an optimal remote control solution for your needs.
