HARRISON, NY (March 31, 2023) - URC, a global leader in smart home automation and control for residential and commercial applications, announced the launch of the MX-1400 with Voice Control. This programmable, handheld remote designed to control IR devices throughout a home.
With other technology companies dealing with supply chain issues, URC continues to innovate around its Complete Control system with the launch of the MX-1400 and MX-1400i. This programmable, handheld remote can directly communicate via IR for devices control, RF for device control via MRF base stations and Wi-Fi for voice integration via Amazon Alexa and Comcast Xfinity. It is ideal for use in home theaters, kitchens, or bedrooms.
The MX-1400 features a brilliant 2.4” color, capacitive touch, LCD screen with Free Format customization allowing graphic placement anywhere on the screen. When used with a compatible Complete Control base station, like the MRF-350 and MRF-260, the MX-1400 controls integrated A/V components through walls and cabinet doors, or even from outside. There is no need to point the remote control at the components or even be in the same room.

- Power of Voice Control with built-in mic and speaker allow users to communicate seamlessly using voice commands via Amazon Alexa and Comcast Xfinity
