Niantic,
Conn. — June 25, 2012 —INNCOM
will unveil its new,
programmable switch series to complement its Integrated Room Automation
System
(IRAS) at the 2012 Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition &
Conference
(HITEC). Built on the
same core as MODEVA™, the EVORA Switch Series is elegantly designed,
easy to use, and
delivers an unparalleled automation experience.
EVORA allows
hotel guestroom designers to create lighting scenes and provide a guest
pleasing light control environment and combine it with the ability to
also
control temperature, drapes and shades and guest annunciation functions
without
the expense of horizontal wiring within the room.
"EVORA was developed to extend INNCOM
switch capabilities beyond those offered in the well-established
S-Series and
the innovative MODEVA series," said John Tavares, INNCOM Senior VP,
Marketing and Sales. "The EVORA series uses the same advanced switching
and programming technology as MODEVA but offers a more traditional
guest user
interface. Its low profile, custom
engraved and back-lit buttons will be a welcome addition in a variety
of room
design motifs.”
The switches
are available in standard colors in white, black and almond and can be
custom
engraved with the function names. In addition, the wireless capability
allows
hotel operators to meet code for a Master Light Switch requirement in
new
construction hotels at potentially lower costs than traditional
construction
wiring.
"Designers
like that the switches can be engraved with the function names making
it very
easy for the guests to find the switches during the evening and easily
identify
what functions they wish to turn on," Tavares said. "Additionally,
guests can control other functions beyond lighting, such as Privacy,
Make-Up-Room, Temperature, Drapes and Sheers and other guest
annunciation
requests. Finally, although the industry appreciates the high level of
functionality we built into MODEVA, some customers simply prefer a more
traditional guest interface, such as push buttons instead of touch
surfaces,
and as a result, EVORA was created."
