Touch Panels

With sleek design elements, the Touch Panel series blends style with technology and allows users to set customized smart lighting and control actions through programmable buttons that can be as simple as dimming the lights to 50% or as complex as controlling multiple devices through smart scenes.
The Touch Panels offer support for Z-Wave or Zigbee to ensure wireless compatibility across a wide range of smart home products and in cooperation with the project design. With features like multi-touch control of devices through pre-programmed touch, tap or finger swipe, a variety of configurations including built-in sockets (select models), and access via the Hogar Controls mobile app, the Touch Panel series offers integrators a stylish yet powerful option for easy in-room smart home control.
Available in various styles, colors, and control button options like – One Touch Panel, One Touch Dimmer Panel, Two Touch Panel, Three Touch Panel, Four Touch Panel, Eight Touch Panel and Ten Touch Panel – the panels offer a variety of options to best fit a home or property’s size and individual system requirements.

Through integration with HC Pro and the Hogar mobile app, the Video Doorbell allows for visual access control of any entryway along with remote access via a connected door lock.
With two-way audio built into the Video Doorbell, once the user is notified of a guest or visitor, they can communicate with them via the mobile app whether they are in the dwelling or far away. The Video Doorbell also works as a motion sensor, detecting movement near the door and can be set to send pictures right to users’ smart phones. Hogar Video Doorbell will be available in the EU in Q1 2018 for MSRP €145 with a one-year warranty.
The Hogar Controls Sensor Camera is another smart security device for indoor use, giving users a high-definition view of any interior room when set to an away mode. Hogar Sensor Camera will be available in the EU in Q1 2018 for MSRP €130 with a one-year warranty.
Lighting + Control Modules
The 3-in-1 multi-module is a tiny controller that enables users to turn any existing switch or socket into a Z-Wave smart switch. At just over a half inch (12 mm), the module can be easily installed into most enclosures, flush-mounted junction boxes, behind lights and in wall sockets to control and dim lighting, blinds, shades and activate scenes. The 3-in-1 module can be installed within a few minutes and offers the ability to change functionality with a simple program button. The 3-in-1 module will be available in the EU in Q1 2018 for MSRP €70.00.

First all-in-one Smart Home Speaker with Google Assistant & Z-Wave Plus
The Milo Smart Home Speaker (Milo) by Hogar Controls is the first-ever combination smart speaker and home hub to include support for Z-Wave Plus and adds multi-platform access for Zigbee, Bluetooth and WiFi devices. Milo’s integrated smart hub also works with the Google Assistant, so you can ask questions, control devices throughout your home, stream music and more. A stylish design with on-board one-touch scene control and a smart home mobile app, Milo is an all-in-one solution that give integrators the ability to add Milo anywhere that voice control and entertainment are needed in a project. And, when an integrator pairs Pebble with Milo, Pebble can be used as an add-on device to create additional control zones in the home. For example, consumers can place a Milo in their living room area and a Pebble in their bedroom or other frequently used areas of the home for added scene control in lieu of a Touch Panel. Milo will be available internationally in Q2 2018 for MSRP $149/€120 with a one-year warranty.
Interactive Demo Toolkit for Dealers
One of the biggest challenges when building consumer and end-user customer relationships is working to provide education on the benefits of connected living. Particularly for a whole building automation system, showcasing the power of a suite of devices working together is challenging in any showroom. Making it easy for smart home dealers with or without a showroom, Hogar Controls created a unique Interactive Demo Toolkit. The toolkit is an out of the box home and building automation and control system, with built-in devices – both audio, video and control – to show off the power of devices like video doorbells, voice control, motion sensors, climate control and more. With a built-in screen, the toolkit is a “home in a suitcase” model that is easy to transport and gives the dealers a powerful and mobile sales tool. The Hogar Dealer Toolkit is available to qualified dealers for MSRP $1299/€1049 and will be on display at the Hogar Controls pod in the Z-Wave Pavilion.
The Hogar Controls Pro Solutions suite will ship internationally in Q1 2018 and be available in the U.S. in Q2. Hogar is actively signing new dealers and distributors – to speak with a Hogar Controls representative at ISE, visit Stand 9-F170 or email info@hogarcontrols.com
