HARRISON, NY (July 13, 2021) — URC, a global leader in smart home automation and control for residential and commercial applications, announced the launch of the MX-790, a programmable, handheld remote designed to control IR devices throughout your home.
With other technology companies dealing with inventory, URC continues to innovate around its Complete Control system with the launch of the MX-790.

There is no need to point the remote control at the components or even be in the same room.
Advanced benefits of this new touch screen include:
- Ergonomically designed handheld remote with brilliant 2” color LCD screen
- Displays up to six buttons per screen
- Delivers single-room, one-way control of IR devices
- Operates on standard AA alkaline batteries

Park, URC CEO. “Our goal is to deliver residential and commercial products that elevate expectations for premium performance design and integration.”
A live software update is planned for Complete Control surrounding the launch of the MX-790. Part of this live update includes the addition of password protection. This step provides greater security and support to our certified dealers and their end-users.
