URC and SKYWORTH Announce New Integration for Smart TV Control

URC Total Control module adds IP integration with SKYWORTH TVs powered by Google TV


HARRISON, NY (October 7, 2025) – URC, a global leader in smart residential and commercial automation, and SKYWORTH, a global innovator in advanced display technologies and one of the world's top five TV brands*, announced a new integration that enables seamless control of SKYWORTH Lifestyle TVs including the Clarus Outdoor™ TV , Canvas Art™ TV and Canvas Elite™ TV lines, using URC’s Total Control platform. The integration allows custom integrators, homeowners and other users to unify entertainment with other automated systems, delivering a simple, reliable, and intuitive user experience.

The new module provides one-way IP control of supported SKYWORTH TVs built on the Google TV platform. It allows users to power on devices reliably via Wake-on-LAN commands, manage key TV functions, and launch built-in apps directly from Total Control interfaces. The integration supports both wired Ethernet and Wi-Fi connections, though hardwired networking is recommended for maximum reliability.

Dealers can configure SKYWORTH TVs within new or existing Total Control projects by importing the module from URC’s Accelerator software. Once installed, the integration enables users to control SKYWORTH TVs through URC remotes, in-wall touch screens, tabletop controllers, and mobile apps. Advanced features include discrete two-way commands for adjusting audio levels, picture settings (brightness, contrast, backlight, sharpness), sound modes, and channel inputs, ensuring fine-tuned control for any environment.

The SKYWORTH integration provides significant advantages for dealers and end-users:

  • Enhanced Functionality – Access built-in apps and use discrete two-way commands for volume, picture modes, and channel control.
  • Unified Entertainment Control – Operate SKYWORTH TVs alongside audio, lighting, climate, and security systems from a single URC interface.
  • Reliable Operation – Power-on commands use Wake-on-LAN to ensure TVs respond consistently, whether in standby or fully off states.
  • Flexible Deployment – Supports both Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity with permanent IP addressing for stability.
  • Dealer Efficiency – Module integration simplifies setup, programming, and deployment in Total Control systems.

“Adding SKYWORTH to the URC ecosystem expands the options for integrators and end-users who want high-quality TVs fully unified within their automation systems,” said Lars Granoe, VP of Product Development at URC. “Our Total Control platform continues to evolve by integrating with leading global brands, offering choice, flexibility, and reliability.”

“This partnership with URC demonstrates SKYWORTH's commitment to the custom integration market," said Michael Gleason, Director of Sales at SKYWORTH USA. "By ensuring our Lifestyle Series TVs integrate seamlessly with URC's Total Control platform, we're empowering integrators with the tools they need to deliver exceptional experiences to their clients.”
