Control4 InfinityEdge Priced, Designed Like iPad
By Julie Jacobson
With a sleek capacitive, multitouch screen and a $599 starting price, Control4's InfinityEdge gives users a reason to buy dedicated home automation touchscreens again.

Home automation vendors are having a tough time selling their own touchscreens against the low-priced elegant iPad.

Now Control4 is making it easier to pick a dedicated touchscreen over Apple’s multipurpose tablet.

The new InfinityEdge breaks the (plastic) mold that has defined Control4’s industrial design since 2004.

The 5- and 7-inch (diagonal) screens feature edge-to-edge capacitive glass and a low profile … like the iPad. And they’re priced at $599 and $899 … like the iPad, almost.



But the devices act like Control4 touchscreens, dedicated to the control of lights, security, thermostats, audio/video and other home systems. Since they’re compatible with Control4 OS 2.0, they also can be used to access a growing roster of apps from the 4Store.

InfinityEdge screens are powered over Ethernet or AC power, and feature both wired and Wi-Fi connectivity options.

Pricing is 'Unheard of'
In the press release, Control4 CEO Will West says the InfinityEdge touchscreens offer price points that are "unheard of in the custom residential industry.”
