Crestron MLX-3 Color LCD Handheld Wireless Remote w/infiNET EX™

The ability to communicate over long ranges with other home systems sets MLX-3 apart from traditional RF handhelds. Using proven and high-powered Crestron infiNET EX® wireless technology MLX-3 offers the long range distance of WiFi without the typical hassles of WiFi. No more annoying delays in button response, intermittent signal interruptions/disconnects, and overall sluggish performance. MLX-3’s wireless signal leapfrogs up to 75 feet from onboard gateways inside all Crestron dimmers and switches, surpassing the distance range of any other RF handheld. The result is reliable, long range wireless operation across any size home. Utilizing our powerful new 2.4 GHz mesh network, few, if any, additional gateways are required to deliver stable, long-range connectivity and higher performance throughout the home, while simplifying installation of a complete Crestron home control system. MLX-3 comes pre-loaded with an intuitive graphical user interface for easy setup right out of the box. A slew of easily configurable built-in graphics provide homeowners with extreme ease of use, making MLX-3 just as easy to use as a touch screen. Easy-to-configure dialogue-based “programming” makes setup and installation simple. Customizable presets with intuitive icons are created quickly by simply answering questions from the menu-driven configuration tool. The bright, easy-on-the-eye color screen is also highly customizable, offering more personalization than any remote in its class. Custom programming projects can be uploaded by the installer in minutes, right over the wireless network, getting a complete Crestron home automation system up and running quickly every time. Plus, MLX-3 lasts an incredible 4-6 months on just four homeowner-replaceable lithium AA batteries, more than most economy level remotes with a fraction of the control power.

Features

Expanding home technology design creativity and installation flexibility even more, MLX-3 with Crestron infiNET EX® wireless technology offers the long range distance of WiFi without the typical hassles of WiFi. MLX-3's wireless mesh network topology results in reliable long range RF operation throughout a Crestron home system across any size property. Few, if any, additional gateways are required to deliver stable, ultra-reliable connectivity and higher performance, while greatly simplifying installation for the electronic systems contractor. MLX-3 lets you scroll through menus, browse entertainment content and adjust lights, temperatures and sound system volumes in any room, from wherever you are in your home without delays in button response and intermittent service interruptions common with WiFi remotes. Instant-Waking® allows MLX-3 to work at the press of a button after being idle. No more waiting for a "connection", a typical complaint with Wi-Fi remotes. Whether turning audio volumes up or down, pausing a video, changing a TV channel, adjusting lighting levels, or thermostats, MLX-3 is always ready to perform on your command. Instant-Waking also puts MLX-3 into an energy-saving sleep mode after use, preserving battery life for an average of 4-6 months of typical usage. MLX-3's ability to communicate with other devices and systems in the home also sets it apart from other handhelds. Dynamic graphics and text, plus convenient side-mount thumb scroll knob and 43 backlit pushbuttons enables fast recall of all control functions while displaying metadata for digital content. Easy-to-configure dialogue-based programming makes setup & installations even easier. Customizable presets with intuitive graphic icons are created quickly by simply answering questions from the menu-driven configuration tool. Custom programming projects can also be uploaded by the installer in minutes, right over the wireless network, and a complete Crestron home automation system is up and running quickly every time.
