Control Concepts, Inc., the Fairfield, N.J.-based, software developer, announced the expansion of its Control Concepts Supported Product program with the addition of Lutron, Nureva, Panasonic Connect, Smart Monkeys and SurgeX to join AVPro Edge, AtlasIED and Hunter Douglas.
“The Control Concepts Supported Product program continues to receive positive responses from both manufacturers and programmers who are seeking a definitive way to distinguish products that have authorized, proven and supported control modules, drivers and plugins,” remarks Steve Greenblatt, president and founder, Control Concepts.
He adds, “There are a lot of unofficial solutions that programmers can find themselves implementing without knowing. The Control Concepts Supported Product program brings to light products with authorized control integrations that are backed by the manufacturer, endorsed by the control platform, and actively supported by our experienced team of developers. Programmers in the field can rest assured that these products will be controlled effectively and that they will receive the technical support they need to resolve any programming challenges.”
Per a statement, the continued growth of this program demonstrates the importance and value that ease of control and product integration have to manufacturers while providing programmers with a tried-and-true solution that addresses their specific needs.
Benefits of Control Concepts Supported Product Program
Per the company, manufacturers whose products are Control Concepts Supported benefit from the knowledge, experience and reputation built over 25 years of its rich history as AV control system programmers. Control Concepts Supported Products also offer specifiers confidence in choosing products over alternatives that may not offer the same ease of control, programming, integration and interoperability.
“When it comes to controlling products, we have found that even the best-written and most fully vetted modules, drivers and plugins do not guarantee successful project outcomes,” shares Brittany DiCesare, director of sales and operations at Control Concepts. “It is our top-notch technical support and assurance that products will be controlled effectively, even when firmware versions change, that programmers and manufacturers value.”
“With numerous unofficial developments for control available in the market, programmers need to be able to trust in a manufacturer-backed solution,” continues DiCesare. “It is now imperative for programmers to seek out not only a quality-authored module, driver or plugin to ensure guaranteed control results; they must also have the support they need to ensure a successful project implementation.”
The company adds that the Control Concepts Supported Product program continues to raise the bar by setting a new standard in the industry. Here, it empowers integrators and programmers to rely upon products with proven control backed by a company that understands the needs and challenges of AV programmers.
