Electronic House has announced the winners of its 2011 Product of the Year Awards during an awards presentation at CES 2011 in Las Vegas.
Covering 35 different categories, the winning entries were chosen by a panel of industry experts, integrators and the editors of Electronic House. Judging criteria included creativity, innovation, incorporated equipment, obstacles overcome, aesthetics, and lifestyle benefits.
Security Panels & Sensors
Honeywell LYNX Plus
LYNX Plus is a self-contained wireless security control used to guard against residential burglary. The product provides homeowners with two-way voice, a combination control panel, keypad, dialer and speakerphone. The vibrant display is easier to use than traditional security systems—it announces the exact type and location of an alarm and gives homeowners information they need to react quickly. Additionally, two-way voice communication with the central station operator helps ensure that the proper emergency response personnel will be dispatched to the home in the event of an alarm. LYNX Plus also puts security and convenience at a homeowner’s fingertips. It serves as a home control with options to turn lights on or off and control garage doors with the touch of a button. For busy households, LYNX Plus’s family message center lets everyone record and playback voice memos for one another. As plain-old-telephone service (POTS) declines, LYNX Plus is a critical security asset for any homeowner.
Power Management, Conditioning and back up
Panamax M4315-PRO
The Panamax M4315-PRO Power Conditioner takes the category of power management to a new level, offering full cloud-based remote control and energy management functionality via Panamax/Furman’s exclusive BlueBOLT® platform. Engineered for professional integrators, the M4315-PRO features eight rear panel AC outlets with catastrophic surge/spike protection, over/under voltage protection, and Linear Filtering Technology optimized for audio/video frequencies. With BlueBOLT, integrators can remotely reboot problem components without the time and expense of a service call. Since control is at the outlet level, BlueBOLT’s control functionality allows full hard-reboots (the same as unplugging a component from the wall and plugging it back in) to immediately address a myriad of common system issues ranging from locked up components to bad communications handshakes. Additionally, BlueBOLT’s robust energy management features provide integrators with a tremendous value-add for any installed system, allowing users to monitor power usage and power quality in real time or over history, including energy consumption in dollars.
