URC's TDC-8300 and TRC-1120 for Smart Home Control

Universal Remote Control (URC) has announced the release of two new devices designed to enhance smart home and commercial automation: the TDC-8300 tabletop touch screen and the TRC-1120 handheld remote.

Both devices prioritize functionality and integration, offering practical tools for managing connected systems.

TDC-8300: A Tabletop Touch Screen with Versatile Features

The TDC-8300 is an 8-inch color LCD touch screen intended for comprehensive control of smart home systems. Its design is contemporary, aiming to integrate seamlessly into various interior settings while offering practical features for day-to-day use.

Features include:

  • Integrated Voice Control: Supports Amazon Alexa, Comcast Xfinity, and Apple TV, allowing for compatibility with widely used platforms.
  • Video Intercom Capabilities: Includes integration with Ring devices for live video monitoring and two-way communication.
  • Streamlined Control: Operates via URC’s Total Control® Accelerator 3 software, managing multiple systems such as lighting, entertainment, and security.
  • Sensors and Quick Access: Equipped with proximity and ambient light sensors for immediate response and usability.

The device is designed to be a functional control hub, offering homeowners and professionals the ability to manage a wide range of automated systems from one interface.

TRC-1120: A Handheld Remote Designed for Efficiency

The TRC-1120 provides an alternative for those preferring handheld devices for system management. With a 2-inch color LCD display and hard buttons, it is built for straightforward operation.

Key elements include:

  • Compact Design: Combines a small touch screen with physical buttons for ease of use.
  • Broad Compatibility: Like the TDC-8300, it works with Amazon Alexa, Comcast Xfinity, and Apple TV, ensuring it functions within diverse smart home environments.
  • Integration with Ring: Offers live video and communication capabilities, adding to its functionality as part of a broader home system.
  • Wi-Fi Quick Connect: Facilitates installation and reliable connectivity.

This remote is geared toward users seeking simplicity and portability in their smart home control options.

Applications and Considerations

URC’s latest offerings reflect the growing demand for devices that unify control across multiple systems while emphasizing usability. According to a 2023 Deloitte survey, features such as security, remote monitoring, and time-saving automation are key drivers in smart home adoption. The TDC-8300 and TRC-1120 align with these priorities, providing tools to address these trends in a practical way.

These devices will be available through URC’s network of certified dealers, with a focus on professional installation to ensure optimal performance.
