Key Digital has long seen its Compass Control control system as a logical fit for commercial applications and now it’s doubling down on that commitment to commercial integrators and consultants.

More from Key Digital’s Press Release:

Combining the knowledge and expertise from the different CAP brands has allowed Compass Control to develop into a complete turnkey commercial or residential control solution.

Compass Control is currently comprised of three main components: the Compass Control Software License (KD-ProCL1/4/6/8) and the Compass Control Master Controller (KD-MC1000). When these elements are combined with the Compass Control App – currently available in the App Store on iTunes – any installation is now given complete control over audio, video, HVAC, lighting, shades, and security.

Compass Control has the ability to control devices via RS-232, IR, or via TCP/IP. This control system provides installers with IR, two-way RS-232 with feedback, and two-way TCP/IP control for unlimited flexibility and maximum compatibility with new or existing devices. Compass Control also provides control via relays and sensors demonstrating its nature as a powerful integration tool.
