Universal Electronics Introduces The NevoS70 Hand-Held Universal Controller
The Next Evolution in Home Control

Armour Home is the exclusive distributor of Nevo products in the UK.
Steve Adams, brand manager responsible for Nevo stated: "In today's connected home, the new NevoS70 universal controller intuitively delivers total control of entertainment and digital media devices, as well as access to online information and web services."

He continued: "It's an elegant one-handed design, boasts a brilliant 3.5 inch colour touch screen and can be personalised for every user in the home."

The new S70 benefits from the industry's largest professionally maintained infrared (IR) database and offers the widest array of features of any remote in its class.

These include:

• Non-line of sight control using Z-Wave™ bi-directional wireless communications to ensure reliable command execution and to show the power status of entertainment equipment in the home
• Extended battery life and broad home coverage
• Connection to the home network for multimedia control with industry standard wireless technology (802.11g)
• Ability to view and control any device that has a compatible embedded web server, such as many web-based cameras and media servers
• Control for many home automation devices
• Access to web-based services to deliver real-time information such as news, sports and stock quotes

NevoS70 works seamlessly with the NevoConnect NC-50, an intelligent base station, to send IR signals, serial communication signals, and sense voltage or video state from connected devices. In addition to traditional IR, NevoConnect NC-50 also utilizes Z-Wave bi-directional RF to take full advantage of Z-Wave "mesh networking" technologies, improving range and increasing reliability of signal transmissions. This RF capability allows the controller, in conjunction with the base station, to transmit to hidden equipment behind walls, inside cabinets, or in other rooms.

Along with the release of NevoS70, Universal Electronics has also issued an update of its new installer programming software; NevoStudio Pro. This provides professional installers with greater flexibility, faster programming, increased user interface design efficiency and the ultimate in after-installation service and support.

Since taking the controller market by storm, the Nevo line of products has quickly become a favourite of professional custom installers Naturally, with NevoStudio Pro, the S70 is fully customisable, but perhaps the installers' favourite feature is its ability to be remotely programmed over the Internet with NevoXpress Wireless Download.
