LyncTouch

Patent No. U.S. 11,437,755

LyncTouch is about the size of a typical light switch and requires a dedicated single-gang space. LyncTouch can be installed in most existing single gang, open-back junction boxes or with a post-construction mud-ring.

As the name implies, LyncTouch is controlled mostly using a touch screen. There are only three physical buttons providing a minimalist aesthetic that easily blends with nearly every décor.

Key Features of LyncTouch:

• Single gang, minimalist aesthetic, available in White, Black, and Light Almond
• Brilliant, multi-color 3.5” diagonal, HVGA touch screen
• Select source, adjust volume, mute, control the built-in MP3 player, place the zone in “Do Not Disturb” mode, quickly turn on all zones to the same source for “Party” mode
• Select a single zone or all zones to communicate with using intercom. Intercom audio is crystal clear since it uses stereo microphones built into the LyncTouch and the same speakers as your whole-house audio system.
• Set treble, bass, and balance for the zone
• Select a unique color scheme and separately set the brightness of the screen when active and in sleep mode (including the option for the screen to be completely dark)
• Three physical buttons for common controls:
  • Button 1- power on/off, mute, power off all zones
  • Button 2- create a unique “favorite” for every LyncTouch. A single touch can turn on the zone, select your favorite source, and set volume to a predefined level
  • Button 3- press to talk (intercom) with all zones or any single zone
• Use Cat cable to connect a nearby Input Panel to the back of the LyncTouch. A source connected to that input is available to every zone in the home.
• Add a Decora-style Infrared (IR) receiving eye (sold separately) anywhere in the room and connect it to the back of the LyncTouch using Cat cable. IR signals can then be passed-through the Lync 6 or Lync 12 to control your IR-based equipment that is centrally located
• Can be daisy-chained with Cat cable to a second LyncTouch in the same zone
• Designed to quickly and easily mount firmly against the wall without any visible screws or seams
• Please note that some features of LyncTouch, such as the ability to force another zone to power on when using intercom, will only work when used with a version 3 (V3) central Lync Controller.
