New additions to the award-winning Nevo® range bring simplicity and economy to intelligent home control devices

Armour Home is pleased to announce the arrival of three new Nevo 'Remote Control' products: the NevoQ50™controller, NevoConnect™ NC-50 base station and NevoStudio Pro™ programming software.

Ashley Hutchinson, Armour Home's Category Manager, responsible for Nevo in the UK stated: "These new products are the latest additions to the Nevo range of universal control devices and software that intuitively deliver complete audio/visual control for the home. The stylish one-handed controller and base station includes Z-wave™ functionality to enable bi-directional RF (Radio Frequency) control and sensing of home cinema and audio entertainment devices as well as traditional IR (Infrared) capability."

NevoQ50 Hand-Held Controller With the introduction of NevoQ50, professional installers will have another Nevo choice to offer consumers alongside the award-winning and highly successful NevoSL. With a suggested retail price of only £450 including vat, the Q50 brings truly affordable one-handed control to custom electronics professionals and their clients. Boasting a 2.5 inch (63mm) customisable colour touch screen along with thirty-one programmable hard keys, the Q50 perfectly blends form and function in the way both consumers and professionals have come to expect from Nevo.

Nevo Connect NC-50 Base Station NevoQ50 works seamlessly with the new NevoConnect NC-50, an intelligent base station, to send IR signals, one-way serial output signals, and sense voltage or video state from connected devices. In addition to traditional Infrared, 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.

NevoStudio Pro Programming Software Along with the release of NevoQ50 and NevoConnect NC-50, Nevo is also be releasing new installer programming software; 'NevoStudio Pro'. NevoStudio Pro provides professional installers with greater flexibility, faster programming, increased user interface design efficiency and the ultimate in afterinstallation service and support. NevoStudio Pro has been updated with an easy wizard interface, simple drag and drop programming, and the ability to generate configuration files for both the remote and base station simultaneously, within a single, powerful application.

Naturally, other NevoConnect accessories such as video sensors, power sensors, and serial modules to complement this exciting A/V control system solution will be released imminently.
