HARRISON, NY (November 19, 2025) – URC announced a week devoted to music innovation, expanding Total Control with new integrations for BluOS, HEOS, and WiiM. This coordinated release strengthens URC’s position as a global leader in audio integrations, giving dealers and end users broader choice, faster control, and a unified experience across mixed-brand systems.
URC stands apart in the automation industry for its long history of partnering with premium audio manufacturers around the world. Total Control scales across high-end listening rooms, everyday streaming zones, and compact network players without changing dealer workflow. All three new modules follow the same design logic, support two-way communication, and respond cleanly inside scenes, macros, and voice events. This level of consistency lowers installation time and improves daily operation for residential and commercial clients.
BluOS Integration
BluOS brings hi-resolution playback, advanced library management, and hardware support from several premium audio brands. URC’s updated module improves search flow, playlist handling, metadata feedback, and multi-zone routing. Total Control scenes can now link BluOS playback with lighting, climate, or entertainment events, letting users shift a space with one command. Installers gain fast setup, smooth control from touchscreens and handheld remotes, and dependable operation in projects that demand pristine audio performance.
WiiM Integration
WiiM adds compact and efficient music streamers that fit cleanly into systems with mixed budgets and room types. URC’s two-way module reads live player status, pulls streaming metadata, and exposes discrete TCL commands for macro design. This lets dealers build automation tied to playback state, presets, or room-start routines. WiiM’s simplicity pairs well with high-end zones powered by other platforms, and Total Control keeps the experience consistent by using the same programming structure across all audio integrations.
HEOS Integration
HEOS offers broad streaming coverage and strong multi-room playback across a wide range of components. URC’s enhanced module mirrors native HEOS controls, including presets, queues, history, and grouping. Users browse services, switch rooms, and play stored content with fewer steps, whether on tabletop controllers, in-wall touchscreens, or URC remotes. The integration reduces configuration time and keeps control predictable in homes, hospitality settings, and retail environments where reliable audio is critical.
Across BluOS, HEOS, and WiiM, URC delivers a unified approach to music control. Each platform gains a clean interface, direct transport commands, tight metadata handling, and full compatibility with scenes and voice control. Dealers complete installs faster, system behavior stays consistent, and users enjoy more ways to play music throughout their space.
This week of releases highlights URC’s commitment to expanding choice and improving audio experiences across the globe. Total Control continues to set the standard for flexible, integrated music management across premium, mainstream, and value-driven audio platforms.
Combining these powerful brands offers seamless, unified control and automation for homeowners and streamlined programming for URC-certified dealers. High-resolution audio enjoyment has never been better, with:

- Robust Scenes and Macro Integration – URC’s Total Control executes professionally programmed scenes and voice events, combining advanced audio solutions with other smart home devices and sub-systems to create the perfect ambiance for entertaining, relaxation, or focused listening.

- Simplified Dealer Workflow - The robust integration design means very little effort is required from dealers once the module is added, streamlining installation and maintenance.
With professional installation, Total Control allows this new integration to combine with customized scenes where multiple activities occur, like lighting, climate control, and entertainment. Easy and convenient for the end customer, this integration adds to URC’s user interfaces, such as touch screens, remotes, and in-wall keypads.
