HARRISON, NY & NEWARK, CA (June 18, 2024) - URC, a leader in global smart residential and commercial automation, and WiiM, a global technology company offering premium smart home and commercial experiences through affordable connected AI products, announced today a significant, certified integration. The new integration enables control and automation using URC’s Total Control® and WiiM products like the WiiM Amp, WiiM Pro, WiiM Pro Plus, and WiiM Mini delivering intuitive, personalized experiences across residential and commercial environments.
This collaboration combines the strategy and aspirations of two global brands committed to affordable choice. The WiiM brand is built on high-quality, feature-rich and affordable audio. It succeeds in the simple aspiration of providing solutions so everyone in the world can enjoy high-fidelity music. Similarly, the URC brand is committed to superior quality and choice through easy integration, accessibility and attractive prices.
Combining these powerful brands offers seamless, unified control and automation for homeowners and streamlined programming for URC certified dealers. Key benefits include:
- Elevated Audio Experience – Combining WiiM’s high-fidelity streaming audio with URC’s HDA (High-Definition Audio) creates studio sound quality with a legendary control system offering simplicity and seamless automation.
- Unified Function – Users can use a single device through the Total Control system to control a broader range of devices, interfaces and sub-systems minimizing the number of other controllers, remotes, and devices.
- Easy Voice/Hands-Free Control - URC’s voice commands allow simple operation and can act as a virtual remote to activate entertainment devices in an occupied room.
- Superior, Affordable Choice – Both brands offer superior quality, agnostic integrations and attractive pricing so installers and end-users can enjoy unparalleled audio without sacrifice.
- Robust Scenes and Voice Events – URC’s Total Control executes professionally programmed scenes and voice events combining WiiM’s high-fidelity audio with other devices and sub-systems to announce visitors, host epic parties, create movie night events, and many, many more.
- Remote, Secure Dealer Access – Within a secure environment, this integration allows dealers remote access (with end user approval) to troubleshoot, monitor, or adjust the Total Control system and configure the WiiM integration.
“This integration is a natural fit of two brands with similar goals of choice and affordability. Combining WiiM streaming devices and Total Control, URC’s certified dealers can efficiently install premium, highly customized systems with world class, premium audio,” stated Lars Granoe, URC’s VP Product Development.
